NITI Aayog has reported that India requires an investment of nearly US $135-180 billion over the next decade to develop a competitive semiconductor industry. The government think tank recommends that the union government should contribute at least one-third of this amount to encourage private investment. Key areas for public funding include fabrication, advanced packaging, and critical design infrastructure. The report emphasizes the importance of securing long-term access to strategic materials and minerals, suggesting partnerships with resource-rich nations. It also highlights the need for a coordinated approach to build a resilient semiconductor ecosystem, which is crucial for reducing import dependence and enhancing economic competitiveness.
