Niti Aayog urges early focus on 2D materials to lead semicon future

Niti Ayog on Thursday called for an early push to the development of 2D materials for chips in the country to gain the leadership position in the semiconductor segment instead of playing the catch-up game with the world in the technology space. According to NITI Aayog fourth edition report of Future Front Quarterly Insights series, the 2D materials are roughly 8 lakh times smaller than the tip of a pencil and despite its thinness they are 200 times stronger than steel and conduct electricity more efficiently than copper. The report said that the world of two-dimensional (2D) materials is a frontier that promises to reshape the future of semiconductors, energy, electronics, and quantum computing. "You need to invest in people, R&D, in creating supply chains and finally products and manufacturing. I think we need to create the entire ecosystem for 2D. We missed the bus in semiconductor, and today we are playing the catch-up game," NITI Aayog CEO BVR Subrahmanyam said while releasing

Andhra okays ₹856-cr plan for India's largest printed circuit board plant

The Andhra Pradesh government has approved a Rs 856 crore incentive package for India's largest printed circuit board plant being set up by electronics manufacturing company (EMS) Syrma SGS. The package was cleared by the state cabinet headed by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday, officials said. Syrma SGS will set up India's largest printed circuit board (PCB) plant at an investment of Rs 1,595 crore. The project is being done in partnership with Korea's Shinhyup Electronics. Syrma SGS had submitted a proposal to set up a PCB manufacturing facility in partnership with Shinhyup Electronics Ltd on a 51:49 equity shareholding basis. For the project, the state government will provide 12.56 acres of land at 75 per cent subsidised cost. The project will be located at the Naidupeta industrial area, which is in close proximity to Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The project will be commissioned by October 2026 and is expected to add Rs 6,200 crore to the topline of Syrma SGS in FY2027.
