As part of the Semicon India 2025 conference, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take part in a high-level CEO roundtable on Wednesday, reiterating the government’s commitment to making India a global center for semiconductor innovation and manufacture.
Top executives from the world’s top semiconductor businesses will participate in the discussion.
PM Modi is anticipated to speak directly with CEOs during the meeting to go over the most recent developments in the semiconductor business, look into potential strategic partnerships, and learn about their viewpoints.
The Prime Minister will also receive a briefing from company executives regarding their investment strategies, technical advancements, and policy expectations.
The CEO roundtable is a component of Semicon India 2025, a historic three-day conference that will take place in New Delhi from September 2–4.
Building a robust, sustainable, and innovative semiconductor ecosystem in India is the main goal of the event. The growth of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), semiconductor factories, sophisticated packaging technologies, infrastructural readiness, R&D innovation, artificial intelligence (AI), and state-level regulatory frameworks are some of the subjects that will be covered in key sessions.
Prime Minister Modi opened the meeting on Tuesday, describing it as a turning point in India’s ambitions to become a global leader in semiconductors.
He emphasized that semiconductors are the unseen powerhouses of vital industries including smart manufacturing, healthcare, defense, artificial intelligence, and space exploration.
The India Semiconductor Mission was established in 2021 and is supported by a Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) program worth Rs 76,000 crore. Ten important semiconductor projects, including high-volume fabrication facilities, sophisticated packaging, Silicon Carbide (SiC) technologies, and OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Testing) facilities, have already invested about Rs 65,000 crore.
The government hopes to encourage innovation, draw in foreign investment, and lessen India’s reliance on imports in this strategically important area with programs like Semicon India.
