SEMICON India 2025: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the "SEMICON India - 2025" on Tuesday, aimed at enhancing India's semiconductor ecosystem, at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi. The three-day conference, scheduled for September 2 to 4, will focus on developing a strong, resilient, and sustainable semiconductor ecosystem in India.

Union Minister for Electronics & Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw presented a Vikram 32-bit processor and test chips of the 4 approved projects to PM Narendra Modi at the Semicon India 2025.

Vikram 32-bit processor is the first fully “Make-in-India” 32-bit microprocessor that is qualified for use in the harsh environmental conditions of launch vehicles. The chip has been developed by ISRO Semi-Condutor lab.

The Semicon India 2025 will feature sessions on the progress of the Semicon India Programme, semiconductor fab and advanced packaging projects, infrastructure readiness, smart manufacturing, innovations in R&D and artificial intelligence, investment opportunities, state-level policy implementation, among others.

The three-day event will bring together industry leaders, innovators, academia, government and other stakeholders to drive collaboration and technology advancements across the entire supply chain. In just four years, since the launch of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) in 2021, India has transformed its semiconductor journey from vision to reality. To support this vision, the government announced a Rs 76,000 crore Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, of which nearly Rs 65,000 crore has already been committed.SEMICON India"¯2025 is set to display India's redefining role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.

It will feature nearly 350 exhibitors, over 15,000 expected visitors, 6 country roundtables, 4 country pavilions, and participation from 9 Indian states, offering South Asia's largest platform for the semiconductor and electronics industries.

The event will highlight India's semiconductor progress, showcasing 10 approved strategic projects including High-Volume Fabs, Advanced Packaging, Compound Semiconductors, OSATs, and government support for research and start-ups.

Under the theme "Building the Next Semiconductor Powerhouse", the event will offer valuable insights into innovations and trends in key areas such as Fabs, Advanced packaging, smart manufacturing, AI, supply chain management, sustainability, workforce development, Designs and Startups. So far, three editions of SEMICON India have been held: in 2022 (Bengaluru), 2023 (Gandhinagar), and 2024 (Greater Noida).
