As the Union Budget 2025-26 approaches, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has spotlighted pivotal announcements aimed at strengthening India’s semiconductor and electronics manufacturing ecosystem. In a social media post, the Ministry of Finance revealed that the Semicon India Programme, which was approved in December 2021, is already making significant strides towards positioning India as a global leader in the semiconductor industry.
The Semicon India Programme has supported five semiconductor projects and 16 semiconductor design companies, projecting a Rs 1.52 lakh crore investment in the sector. The investments are expected to create 25,000 direct high-tech jobs and an additional 60,000 indirect jobs, marking a significant milestone in India’s technological workforce development.
The programme focuses on semiconductor packaging and design companies, providing attractive incentives to increase local value addition. The goal is to establish India as a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing and display technology, significantly boosting domestic job creation and technological innovation.
India’s electronics manufacturing has also received a boost under the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, with Rs 6.14 lakh crore in production and Rs 3.12 lakh crore in exports. These efforts have led to the creation of over 1.28 lakh direct jobs, further enhancing India’s position as a global leader in electronics manufacturing. Additionally, the Ministry of Finance highlighted the importance of technologies such as Convergence, Communications, and Broadband Technologies (CC&BT) in realizing the vision of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India).
