SEMICON India 2026 to host dedicated session on Semicon 2.0 Policy

According to a post by India Semiconductor Mission, the session will also focus on developing a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem.

SEMICON India 2026 is set to host a dedicated session on Semicon 2.0 Policy, with discussions focusing on the next phase of #Indias semiconductor journey and the roadmap towards building a robust and resilient #semiconductor ecosystem. Join us to witness the remarkable progress and growing momentum of India's semiconductor ecosystem, the post said.

The fifth edition of SEMICON India will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 17 at Yashobhoomi, India International Convention and Expo Centre, New Delhi.

The event will feature a range of activities, including keynote addresses, panel discussions, fireside chats and international country roundtables, providing a platform for dialogue and collaboration to further accelerate semiconductor innovation and growth.

Indias semiconductor journey has been gaining significant momentum under India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) through the Semicon India Programme. Twelve (12) projects approved under the Semicon 1.0, aimed at building a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem in the country. The Union Cabinet has approved the next phase i.e. Semicon 2.0, to accelerate the development of a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem in India.

Recognising semiconductors as a foundational industry, the Government is also supporting research, innovation and design by providing state-of-the-art design tools to more than 332 academic institutes and 105 start-ups. In addition, 24 start-ups have been approved under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, enabling Indian innovators to work on critical applications. These initiatives are contributing to the development of a robust and holistic semiconductor ecosystem in the country, aligned with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat. (ANI)
