Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology outlined the implementation approach for Semicon 2.0 during SEMICON India 2026. Building on Semicon 1.0, the new phase focuses on deepening India's semiconductor ecosystem through six broad pillars: design, equipment and materials, fabs, advanced packaging, research and development, and talent development. Around ₹1 lakh crore in investment commitments has been received, with expectations of creating nearly 1 lakh new employment opportunities over the next two to three years. The initiative also witnessed multiple Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and announcements covering manufacturing, supply-chain localization, and technical education.
