‘Whole-of-Industry’ approach to drive India’s Electronics and Semiconductor ambitions

The PIB backgrounder highlights the adoption of a 'whole-of-industry' approach to drive India's electronics and semiconductor sector ambitions. Discussed during SEMICON India 2026 and moderated by the CEO of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), industry leaders emphasized that future growth requires deep cross-sectoral collaboration across semiconductors, manufacturing, components, materials, design, packaging, and end-use applications under a 'Silicon to Systems' vision. SEMICON India 2026 featured over 600 exhibitors and 56 MoUs/announcements. Furthermore, government support via Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and the Semicon India programme has resulted in 12 approved semiconductor projects, with five commercial semiconductor units operational as of September 2026.
