Not surprising if critical technologies come up as key metric of power: EAM

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday said it will not be surprising if critical and emerging technologies come up as one of the most important metrics of power, and added that concerns in the CET field are influenced by how market share and production dominance are leveraged in other areas. The questions of who invents and manufactures, market shares, resources, skills and talent pool in relation to CET are becoming increasingly critical in the global arena, Jaishankar said while virtually addressing the 'Semicon India 2023' event organised here. The minister also said a more self-reliant India will also be more self-reliant in semiconductor production. "It (CET) is an intrinsic element of the knowledge economy that is steadily unfolding. In fact, if you think about it, one of its primary characteristics is how deeply it embeds technologies in a manner that profoundly influence all aspects of our lives," he said in his address on the topic of 'India's role in emerging an

Semiconductor mission not just about meeting domestic requirements: EAM

India's semiconductor mission is not just about meeting domestic requirements but also aimed at contributing to global demand for trusted manufacturing, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday. In an address at a conference, he told top executives of leading global semiconductor firms that their decisions and relationships have implications far beyond immediate business and can contribute to re-engineering the global economy. The external affairs minister argued that trust and transparency have emerged as key issues for the future of the digital domain and questions like who processes and harvests "our data is increasingly crucial in a world of artificial intelligence." "Nor indeed can we any longer separate even basic manufacturing and everyday commodities and services from their data implications," he said. "As political democracies, pluralistic societies and market economies, we all have understandable concerns of both privacy and security. It is, therefore, essent

India must emerge as trusted partner in semiconductor sector: Chandrasekhar

It is important for the world to see India emerge as a trusted, resilient partner in the electronics and semiconductor space, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said here on Saturday, and asserted the world wants to partner with India for the country to grow its footprints in the semiconductor ecosystem. Talking to PTI on the sidelines of the Semicon India 2023 event organised at Mahatma Mandir here, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for the sector is to create more and more opportunities for young Indians studying in colleges. The chip shortage witnessed recently was a combination of supply chain disruptions due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID pandemic as well as the increased demand for chips in automotive, IOT, computer, mobile phones and mobile telephony, the Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT said. "So, on the one hand, demand was going up, and on the other hand, we saw concentration of chip production in a few countries. It is important now for

Our made-in-India chip will be ready in 2.5 yrs: Vedanta chairman

Vedanta group chairman Anil Agarwal on Friday said that first phase of its semiconductor project will involve USD 5 billion investment of the overall USD 20-billion outlay, and the venture will be ready with made-in-India chip in two and a half years. Vedanta is talking to three companies to rope them in as technology partners for its mega plans entailing foundary, chip manufacturing, and packaging and design. "In 2.5 years, we will give you Vedanta made-in-India chips," Agarwal told reporters on the sidelines of SemiconIndia 2023 event. The first phase of its semiconductor investment will be to the tune of USD 5 billion, which is being structured. "Vendata has a good cash flow, we will make a capital allocation in Vedanta and there is queue of people to give us equity and debt...but we want the tie-ups to be in place first, and have ecosystem," he said.
