Semicon 2.0 CONTEXT:Approved by the Union Cabinet with a ₹1,27,500 crore outlay to strengthen India's semiconductor design and manufacturing ecosystem Builds on the progress of Semicon 1.0 with a long-term strategy to position India as a global semiconductor hub. Objectives Develop a complete semiconductor value chain in India. Boost domestic chip design and manufacturing. Strengthen supply-chain resilience and technological self-reliance. Support economic growth and national security. Six Pillars of Semicon 2.0 Design Expand India's chip design ecosystem. Promote development of semiconductor IPs, chip designs, and system-level solutions. Position India as a global centre for semiconductor design. Machines & Materials Incentivise manufacturing and R&D of semiconductor equipment, materials, chemicals, and gases. Strengthen precision manufacturing capabilities. More Fabrication Units (Fabs) Encourage establishment of additional silicon, compound semiconductor, discrete component, and display fabs. Expand domestic chip manufacturing capacity. ATMP/OSAT Expansion Promote advanced ATMP/OSAT facilities. Attract global firms and advanced packaging technologies to India. Research & Development Support development of advanced semiconductor nodes beyond the current 28–110 nm range. Foster collaboration with leading national and global R&D institutions. Talent Development Expand semiconductor education and industry-oriented training. Enhance skills in chip design, clean-room operations, fab construction, and manufacturing.
