India is gearing up to host SEMICON India 2025, a pivotal event that underlines its ambition to become a global semiconductor powerhouse. Scheduled for September 2-4, 2025 at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi, SEMICON India 2025 is set to bring together policymakers, manufacturers, innovators, and startups from around the world.
As the flagship platform under the India Semiconductor Mission, SEMICON India 2025 marks a critical juncture in India’s transition from a semiconductor design hub to an integrated fabricator of chips and devices. With its co‑location alongside electronica India and productronica India, this edition will be the largest electronics manufacturing event in South Asia.
Why SEMICON India 2025 Matters
National semiconductor ambition: India is targeting domestic chip production and innovation, with its first home grown chip (28‑90 nm) expected by end 2025.
Government support & policy momentum: Backed by a ₹76,000 crore incentive programme and strategic state policies across Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, India is accelerating fab and OSAT capacity expansion.
Strategic industry participation: Over 250 companies and nearly 11,000 visitors participated in the inaugural SEMICON India 2024; 2025 aims to surpass that impact with broader global representation.

SEMICON India 2025 and India’s Semiconductor Ecosystem
Investment & Manufacturing Momentum
India is rapidly scaling physical infrastructure:
- Micron’s Gujarat SEZ, approved in June 2025, with ~$1.5 billion investment to build fab capacity in Sanand.
- HCL‑Foxconn JV near Jewar Airport, Uttar Pradesh, for display driver chips and wafer starts capacity of 20,000/month, INR 37 billion investment.
- Renesas‑Murugappa pilot OSAT facility expected by mid‑2026, accelerating testing and assembly capacity.
- Initiatives underway include the Tata Semiconductor Assembly & Test (TSAT) facility in Assam (₹27,000 crore), slated to create thousands of jobs and support chip packaging operations from mid‑2025 onwards.
Talent, Design and India’s Global Ambition
- India currently contributes 20% of global chip design talent and is building an 85,000 strong semiconductor workforce targeting AI driven design and smart manufacturing.
- While overall semiconductor job openings dropped 15% in 2024‑25, demand is rising sharply for niche skills in VLSI, EDA tools, yield analysis, and embedded system cybersecurity.
- Gujarat’s startups, especially in Sanand and Dholera, are powering India’s chip design ecosystem through innovative embedded systems and IP development.
