India building complete electronics value chain, says PM at OSAT launch

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that India is building the entire electronics value chain from products and components to semiconductors which is the country's roadmap to 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India). The PM, who inaugurated the CG Semi Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility here, also said that India's youth will power AI, robotics and next-gen tech revolution with Made in India chips. "The expansion of the semiconductor industry in India did not happen overnight. It is the next step in the electronics revolution that has taken place in India over the past decade," he said as he was handed the first semiconductor chips made at the company, to be exported to Japan. "First products, then components and now semiconductors....India is building the entire electronics value chain. This is the roadmap to Viksit Bharat. This is the next phase of Make in India," Modi noted. The government's goal is to build a complete semiconductor ecosystem in India,

Vaishnaw expects more firms to start production of memory chips in India

New companies are likely to invest in India to manufacture memory chips while existing investors will scale up production to address the demand-supply gap in the segment, Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said in an interview to PTI. Strong demand for memory (data storage) cards and advanced chips has tightened global supplies and supported higher prices in past quarters, and manufacturers have been sprucing up investments and production capacities to meet market requirements worldwide. The higher memory chip prices have, in turn, led to a rise in production costs for a range of electronic products, including smartphones and laptops. "Definitely, a lot more investment is coming in the memory manufacturing units, and that is because for the first time in the way the semiconductor industry has grown at such a rapid pace, for the first time we are seeing a huge shortage of certain components which are required in the AI data centres, the high bandwidth memory chips," Vaishnaw said.
