New Delhi – India’s premier semiconductor conference, Semicon india 2025, is set to take the country’s chip ambitions to the next level, focusing on value-addition and building a robust domestic supply chain for semiconductors. With visitors from 45 nations expected, the event highlights India’s growing role in the global chip industry.
1. India’s Semiconductor Ambition
For the first time, Semicon india is not just showcasing fabs and chip testing facilities, but also emphasizing local manufacturing of components and supply chain integration.
- The Murugappa Group’s CG Semi is expected to test and assemble its first chip in india later this year, marking a key milestone.
- Organizers say the 2025 edition will be the largest yet, featuring active semiconductor projects and vendor pitches for the future.
2. Global Tech Leaders on Board
Major international companies are taking india seriously:
- Netherlands-based ASML – Europe’s semiconductor giant – will headline announcements.
- US-based Applied Materials – global leader in semiconductor equipment – will also participate.
These companies are expected to set up a presence in India and help establish a local supply chain for chips.
3. Building India’s Chip Ecosystem
Ashok Chandak, president of the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), outlined the next steps for India’s semiconductor journey:
- Development of compound semiconductors for industrial applications.
- Local display fabs to manufacture screens.
- A domestic supply chain for chemicals, gases, and machines essential for chip production.
4. Semicon 2025: Expanding Scale
Compared to last year, Semicon india 2025 is scaling up significantly:
- 1,200 booths and 350 exhibitors, almost double last year.
- 15,000 visitors expected from over 45 countries (up from 10,000 visitors from 40 nations in 2024).
- 50+ global executives delivering talks, showcasing India’s growth from concept to production.
5. Spotlight on Domestic Players
India’s semiconductor ecosystem is already taking shape:
- Tata Electronics announced the first semiconductor fab in Gujarat’s Dholera in 2024 and is building a chip testing plant in Assam’s Jagiroad.
- Startups focusing on chip components and products will also be showcased, reflecting a growing domestic talent pool.
Supply chain stakeholders, including chemical and gas suppliers, are participating, further strengthening local capabilities.
6. government Support and Incentives
The Ministry of Electronics and Information technology (MeitY) is actively involved in nurturing the semiconductor sector:
- India Semiconductor Mission (ISM 2.0) aims to develop a chip supply chain and establish around 10 fabrication plants in the long term.
- A keynote from prime minister Narendra Modi at Semicon india is expected to outline the next set of incentives for the industry.
Parallel conferences on display technologies and chip components will also encourage global vendor participation, especially from europe and the US.
7. Global Participation and industry Growth
Semicon india 2025 demonstrates India’s growing importance in the global semiconductor landscape:
- Delegates from 45 nations will attend, with 18 countries exhibiting products.
- The event reflects the sector’s journey from early-stage concept to full-scale production, highlighting india as a strategic destination for semiconductor investments.
8. Final Takeaway
Semicon india 2025 is not just a conference—it is a milestone in India’s chip ambitions, showcasing efforts to localize the supply chain, attract global vendors, and encourage domestic innovation. With international participation and strong government backing, india is positioning itself as a future hub for semiconductor manufacturing and innovation..jpg)
