PM Modi will inaugurate SEMICON India 2025 in New Delhi, as India pushes to establish itself as a global semiconductor manufacturing powerhouse.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate SEMICON India 2025 on 2 September at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi. The three-day event, running from September 2–4, is designed to strengthen India’s semiconductor ecosystem under the theme “Building the Next Semiconductor Powerhouse.”
SEMICON India 2025 is set to be South Asia’s largest platform for the semiconductor and electronics industries, featuring over 350 exhibiting companies from 33 countries and regions, more than 15,000 expected visitors, six country roundtables, four country pavilions, and participation from nine Indian states.
Jointly organised by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and SEMI, the global semiconductor industry association, the event will bring together industry leaders, innovators, academia, and policymakers to accelerate collaboration across the supply chain.
Key sessions will track the progress of the Semicon India Programme, with focus areas including high-volume fabs, advanced packaging, infrastructure preparedness, smart manufacturing, AI, supply chain resilience, sustainability, workforce development, investment prospects, and state-level policy adoption. Start-up engagement and design-led innovation will also be in focus.
India’s semiconductor journey gained momentum with the launch of ISM in 2021. To realise this ambition, the government announced a Rs 76,000 crore (760 billion) Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, of which nearly Rs 65,000 (650 billion) crore has already been committed. Ten approved strategic projects—including high-volume fabs, compound semiconductors, OSATs, and advanced packaging—are shaping India’s move towards a full-fledged semiconductor hub.
Following successful editions in Bengaluru (2022), Gandhinagar (2023), and Greater Noida (2024), this year’s conference underscores India’s ambition to shift from assembly roles to advanced chipmaking and integrate deeply into the global semiconductor supply chain.
