Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced during his address to the Red Fort on the 79th Independence Day that the country’s first ‘Made in India’ semiconductor chip will be launched in the market by the end of this year. He informed that six semiconductor units are already working in the country and four new units have got the green signal. He also shared the shocking information about feticide of the mission of semiconductor in India six decades ago in India.

PM Modi said, “By the end of this year, ‘Made in India’, ‘Chips made by the people of India will come in the market.” Addressing the youth, he said that, my dear youth, you will be surprised to know that the idea of the semiconductor was fetful in our country 50 to 60 years ago. Whereas in 50-60 years, many countries gained their mastery in the field of semiconductor. Now we have started work in the mission turn except that turn. We are working on installing many new units. By the end of this year, the Made in India Semiconductor Chips will come in the market.

He said that now the country is moving away from the burden of the past and is moving forward in the semiconductor sector in mission mode. Indeed, the first attempt to set up a semiconductor plant in India was made in the late 1960s by American physicist and entrepreneur Robert Noys, who later became the co-founder of Intel.

Meanwhile, the government has recently approved four new semiconductor projects, including American legendary companies Intel, Lockheed Martin and Applied Materials. These include a packaging unit of Rs 1,943 crore in Odisha 3D Glass Solutions Inc., SICSEM’s SICSEM’s silicon carbide chip fabrication plant in Bhubaneswar, chip packaging plant of Rs 468 crore in Andhra Pradesh and semocover project of Rs 117 crore in Punjab.

Along with this, the number of semiconductor plants in India has increased to 10, out of which Tata Electronics and Taiwan’s PSMC’s 91,000 crore wafer manufacturing unit, Rs 22,516 crore packaging plant of micron technology, project of Rs 7,600 crore of CG power, Tata Semecandler Aseambali and Test Pv. Ltd. The 27,000 crore plant is included, Kines Semicon’s 3,307 crore project and HCL-Foxconn 3,700 crore plant.

PM Modi also emphasized the need to become self -sufficient in the field of energy. He said that India has increased solar energy production by 30 times, has invested thousands of crores of rupees on the green hydrogen mission and has targeted to increase the nuclear power capacity by 2047 by more than 10 times. He appealed to the youth not to work on new ideas and not let them die.

He said, “In the field of energy, we are dependent on many countries for energy. We have to bring fuel by spending millions of crores. Many new reactors are being worked on in nuclear energy. By 2047 we are moving ahead with the target of extending nuclear power. ”

According to government data, India’s semiconductor market has reached $ 45–50 billion in 2024-25 and is estimated to increase to $ 100–110 billion by 2030.
