India's semiconductor ecosystem is taking shape at an accelerated pace and could attract greater international attention in the next three to five years, but the country would benefit from an umbrella agency to help translate research into industry, a senior Singapore semiconductor R&D official has said. Navab Singh, Deputy Executive Director (Research) at the A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics, said Indian institutions such as the IITs and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore are investing in semiconductor research and training manpower, while companies such as Tata Electronics are driving investments in the sector. "We see government-led momentum picking up in developing the semiconductor industry, with research institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technologies (IITs) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore investing in semiconductors and training manpower," Singh said in an interview with PTI. A*STAR IME is working with IIT Kharagpur on ...

India ranks third in semiconductor firm registrations, but weak funding, R&D spending and a widening trade deficit remain concerns

The growing consumption of electronics in India, coupled with government support through incentives, and a shift in global semiconductor supply chains, are creating a strong opportunity for the country to build a domestic chip ecosystem, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Managing Director and Partner Ankush Wadhera has said. On the AI safety debate he said recent discussions around responsible AI development are important "to keep things in check", but does not see them slowing development or casting a shadow on the semiconductor sector demand. "The recent discussions, conversations are good speed-breakers but they are not stop signs, so I don't see this stopping," he told PTI. Wadhera expects the AI boom to continue driving demand for GPUs, compute and memory, and argues that the semiconductor-AI linkage will grow, not weaken. He said a combination of multiple factors are driving investments beyond fabs and assembly units into the wider semiconductor value chain here, and described th

Semiconductor equipment maker ASML has started operations in India and plans to hire 20-30 young engineering graduates initially to meet its requirement, a senior official of the company said. Speaking on the sidelines of SEMICON India 2026, ASML Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Support Lin Kiat Yap told PTI that the company's scaling-up plan depends on the success of Tata Electronics chip unit in India and the ambition of India to grow in the semiconductor space. Asked about when his company is going to start India operations and scale it up, Yap said, "Right now", and added, "We are probably going to start off at 20-30 people. We will see how fast it scales. It really depends on the ambitions of India, and it really depends on the ambitions of Tata." ASML provides advance lithography technology which enables making circuits on silicon wafers. In a way, it paves the foundation of converting a silicon wafter into an active component. The company has a monopoly in advan
