ASML begins India operations, plans to hire young engineering graduates

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

Domestic demand, labour supply give India edge in semiconductor push: Bain

India's dual advantage of unmatched domestic consumer demand and an expanding demographic dividend give the country a unique edge in the global semiconductor race, but securing access to core technology remains a critical hurdle that needs to be bridged, a top executive at global management consultancy firm Bain & Company said. Balaji Thirumalai, Partner and India Head of Semiconductors and Electronics Manufacturing Practice at Bain & Company, said the central government's strategy under the Semicon 2.0 programme-spanning six pillars of talent, fabs, OSATs (outsourced semiconductor assembly and test), design, equipment, and materials-is the necessary approach to establish a complete ecosystem. "We need design as much as we need fabs. We need materials, and we need equipment to come into India. Because if you look at Taiwan, if you look at Korea, it's not just that the fabs have come up, the ecosystem has moved in. If you look at what's happening in the US when they're building
