Semiconductor Self-Reliance in India Introduction Semiconductors are the backbone of the modern economy. They are used in smartphones, automobiles, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, space technology and defence systems. The global chip shortage during the pandemic and geopolitical tensions showed that dependence on a few countries for semiconductors can become a strategic vulnerability. For India, semiconductor self-reliance is therefore not just an economic objective but also a matter of national security and technological sovereignty. India aims to move from being primarily a consumer and designer of chips to becoming an important player across the complete semiconductor value chain. Current Developments • India launched the Semicon India Programme with an outlay of ₹76,000 crore to develop semiconductor manufacturing and design capabilities. • As of early 2026, the government had approved 10 semiconductor projects involving about ₹1.6 lakh crore of investment, including fabs and packaging facilities. • India has now moved from policy announcements towards actual production, with commercial production commencing at multiple semiconductor units. • In July 2026, the Union Cabinet approved Semicon 2.0, with a total outlay of ₹1,27,500 crore. Its focus includes chip design, fabrication, packaging, equipment, materials and ecosystem development. • India is also strengthening its semiconductor design ecosystem. The government reported that 105 startups had begun developing chips, showing growing domestic innovation. • Recently, India-made semiconductor chips have also been reported as supporting major Indian space missions, demonstrating the strategic importance of indigenous chip capability. Challenges However, achieving complete self-reliance will be difficult. 1. High capital requirement: Semiconductor fabs require billions of dollars and have long gestation periods. 2. Technology gap: India is still dependent on other countries for advanced fabrication technology and equipment. 3. Limited ecosystem: A semiconductor industry needs not only fabs but also chemicals, gases, wafers, equipment and specialised supply chains. 4. Skilled manpower shortage: India has strong design talent, but manufacturing and fabrication require highly specialised engineers and technicians. 5. Water and power requirements: Semiconductor fabs require reliable electricity and large quantities of ultra-pure water. 6. Global competition: Countries such as the US, China, Taiwan and South Korea already have well-established semiconductor ecosystems. 7. Supply-chain dependence: Even if chips are assembled domestically, dependence on imported materials and equipment can limit true self-reliance. Way Forward India should adopt a full ecosystem approach rather than focusing only on semiconductor fabs. • Strengthen R&D and indigenous chip design through universities, startups and research institutions. • Develop domestic capabilities in semiconductor equipment, materials, speciality gases and chemicals. • Focus initially on areas where India can become competitive, such as chip design, ATMP/OSAT, advanced packaging, compound semiconductors and power electronics. • Build strong industry-academia partnerships and specialised semiconductor training programmes. • Ensure reliable power, water, infrastructure and logistics around semiconductor clusters. • Encourage public-private partnerships and stable long-term policy support. • Deepen strategic partnerships with technologically advanced countries while gradually increasing domestic value addition. • Promote indigenous chips for defence, space, telecom, EVs and AI, creating assured domestic demand.

Strengthen the private ecosystem The government should move from being the sole operator to an enabler and regulator, allowing private companies to scale. 2. Increase investment and access to finance India should encourage venture capital, private equity and international investment in space technology. 3. Develop a strong regulatory framework A predictable framework for licensing, insurance, liability, spectrum allocation and safety will increase investor confidence. 4. Build indigenous technology Greater investment in R&D and collaboration between ISRO, industry and universities can reduce import dependence. 5. Develop a skilled workforce Specialised courses, research centres and industry-academia partnerships should be promoted in areas such as aerospace engineering, AI, satellite technology and space data. 6. Focus on downstream applications The real economic value of space lies not only in launching satellites but also in using their data for: • Agriculture • Disaster management • Urban planning • Defence • Navigation • Climate monitoring 7. Ensure responsible use of space India should promote international cooperation on space traffic management, debris mitigation and peaceful use of outer space.

India’s Space Economy Introduction India’s space programme has evolved from being primarily government-driven and research-oriented to becoming a growing commercial and strategic sector. The space economy includes activities related to satellite manufacturing, launch services, communication, navigation, Earth observation, data services and downstream applications. Today, India is moving from the idea of “space for national development” to “space as an engine of economic development.” India’s space economy is currently valued at around USD 9 billion and is projected to reach approximately USD 40–45 billion over the next decade. 1. Current Scenario 1. Growing private sector participation India has opened its space sector to private companies and start-ups. The number of registered space start-ups has increased from just 1 in 2014 to around 440 by August 2026. Private investment has also risen to around USD 618.5 million by March 2026. 2. Expansion across the space value chain Private companies are now participating in: • Satellite manufacturing • Launch vehicles • Earth observation • Satellite communication • Space-based data and applications This is creating a complete ecosystem rather than making space activities dependent only on government institutions. 3. Commercialisation of ISRO technology NewSpace India Limited (NSIL)⁠ is helping commercialise Indian space technology and services. Its revenue increased from about ₹322 crore in FY 2021–22 to over ₹3,000 crore in FY 2024–25. 4. Global launch and cooperation potential India has launched 399 foreign satellites as of January 2026, demonstrating its potential in the global launch market. India also has space cooperation arrangements with 61 countries and 5 multilateral organisations. 2. New Developments 1. Indian Space Policy, 2023 The policy opened the entire space value chain to greater private participation and clarified the roles of ISRO, IN-SPACe and NSIL. 2. Liberalised FDI policy India has liberalised foreign investment in the space sector: • Up to 74% automatic FDI in satellite manufacturing and operations. • Up to 49% automatic FDI in launch vehicles and spaceports. • Up to 100% automatic FDI in manufacturing certain space components and systems. 3. Financial support for start-ups Recent measures include: • ₹1,000 crore Venture Capital Fund • ₹500 crore Technology Adoption Fund • Seed funding and infrastructure support through IN-SPACe. 4. Earth Observation Public-Private Partnership India is developing its first privately owned Earth-observation satellite constellation under the EO-PPP model, with around ₹1,200 crore in private investment commitments. 5. Advanced missions India is moving towards: • Gaganyaan human spaceflight • A future Indian space station • Advanced Earth observation and satellite capabilities These programmes can generate demand for new technologies, manufacturing and high-skilled employment. 3. Challenges 1. Limited share in the global space economy Despite strong capabilities, India still has a relatively small share of the global commercial space market. 2. High capital requirement Space technology requires heavy investment, long development cycles and involves significant technological risk, making private financing difficult. 3. Regulatory and policy challenges Although reforms have improved the ecosystem, companies still require greater clarity and predictability regarding licensing, insurance, liability and other commercial regulations. 4. Technology dependence India needs stronger indigenous capabilities in advanced areas such as: • Reusable launch systems • Semiconductor components • Advanced propulsion • High-resolution satellites 5. Space security and sustainability Growing satellite constellations increase concerns regarding space debris, cyber threats and protection of strategic space assets. 6. Shortage of skilled manpower The rapidly expanding sector requires more engineers, scientists, data specialists and technicians with specialised space-sector skills. 4. Way Forward 1.
