Inside India’s Bold Semiconductor Push

Why India Needs a Strong Semiconductor Sector

Currently, India imports more than 90% of its semiconductor needs. This heavy dependence on imports creates several risks. It makes the country vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions, like the chip shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also affects national security, limits innovation, and increases economic strain. To reduce these risks and keep up with growing demand, India is focusing on building a self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem.
