India is fast becoming a global semiconductor center and SEMICON India 2025 is a stepping stone to this process. This is the fourth time the event is being organized making it amongst the most awaited technology and manufacturing conferences in the country.
This edition combines the power of strong government support, involvement of major global chipmakers and a sprouting ecosystem of startups, making it an eye opener to how India intends to power the semiconductor manufacturing of tomorrow.
In this article, we will take a closer look at SEMICON India 2025 background, its significance, what to expect, and why this is of such importance to India and its future.
SEMICON India is an event organised and committed to the whole business all over the world focusing on semiconductors and microelectronics business. It is actually a collaboration between India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and SEMI who is an international trade association.
The event will not only gather policymakers, leaders in the global semiconductor industry, startups, researchers and innovations but will also help to enhance India as part of the global semiconductor supply chain. It identifies each step of chip production, design, manufacturing, assembly, packaging and testing.
The overall idea is to change India from a significant manufacturer of chips to a world-trusted producer and exporter of semiconductors.
The decision to hold it in Yashobhoomi IICC in New Delhi demonstrates the Indian aspirations on an international scale. It is amongst the largest convention centers in the Asian continent and it has world class infrastructure facilities to host such an international event.
This year's central theme is on enhancing capabilities of India to emerge as the next semiconductor powerhouse in the world. The aim is not just to present the increasing prowess of India in chip design but also to demonstrate its capability of leading in chip manufacturing, packaging and in large Scale production of chips.
The theme brings to the fore the message.
This edition has brought several first-time features and remarkable developments:
Over 300 exhibitors from 18 countries are part of SEMICON India 2025. For the first time, global pavilions from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea are present, showcasing cutting-edge technologies in microchips and electronics.
Indian startups and innovators creating in the sphere of semiconductor design have been given dedicated areas. These startups are receiving mentorship and funding opportunities, creating a strong base for future chipmakers.
Semiconductor education and the training special sessions are organized. India has the ambition of training 85,000 semiconductor professionals within the next ten years so that it can respond to the demands of the industry.
Recently, the Government of India approved four new semiconductor manufacturing projects, worth 4,594 crore in the states of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Punjab. This brings to 10 semiconductor units that have so far been approved as part of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM).
The Indian Prime Minister Modi has declared that the first domestic semiconductor chips are supposed to be released by the end of 2025. This would be a milestone in Indian self reliance in technology.
Launched under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) is the backbone of this transformation.
The Mission is designed to make India a key player in the global electronics and semiconductor value chain.
The importance of this event is worth more than just technology, but it has economic, strategic, and international meanings.
India relies on other nations, such as Taiwan, South Korea and the US to provide it with practically every single Semiconductor. Local manufacturing will curb on expenses and guarantee safety in the supply office.
As the government intensely promotes Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India), semiconductor fabrication will enhance the stature of India as an industrialist nation.
It is hoped that the prospective development of the semiconductor industry will result in thousands of high-tech jobs, including chip-designers and factory technicians.
Semiconductors are the foundation of any modern technology- whether in smartphones, cars, defense-based equipment, satellites, AI, or 5G infrastructure. In India, the management of this technology is a case of national security, as well.
Holding the SEMICON India with global presence will make India the secure and trusted global chip hub when other countries across the world are de-risking their global supply chains by diversification of supply chains out of China at this time.
The primary Advocate has been Prime Minister Modi who has been spearheading the semiconductor aspirations of India. The first boss of SEMICON India 2025, he stressed:
Q1. What is SEMICON India 2025?
It is the fourth -largest semiconductor conference and exhibition in India to be organized by India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and SEMI to help realize the vision of India as a global semiconductor manufacturing destination.
Q2. When and where is SEMICON India 2025 being held?
PM Narendra Modi has inaugurated the event which is taking place on 2nd-4 th September 2025 at Yashobhoomi, IICC New Delhi.
Q3. Which countries are participating in the event?
This is attended by more than 300 exhibitors in 18 countries as well as international pavilions of Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea.
Q4. What is India’s main goal in hosting SEMICON India?
The primary objective is to lower the reliance on imports, enhance the domestic production of semiconductors, increase employment and make India a global chip-making hub.
Q5. When will India produce its first homegrown semiconductor chips?PM Modi said India will have its first homegrown semiconductor chips by the end of 2025.
