“I believe it’s clear you could’t arrange a fab and not using a provide chain, and the federal government will do the whole lot needed to make sure that the provision chain additionally has a footprint in India,” Chandrasekhar informed meida after the muse stone-laying ceremony of a semiconductor facility right here.
When requested about which firms are coming and whether or not they’re being given any incentives, the Minister mentioned that at current., the semiconductor coverage doesn’t cowl incentives however hinted that the federal government might not be averse to offering them.

“This isn’t at the moment ruled by the Semicon Coverage. However it’s one thing that the federal government will see and discover within the second spherical of semiconductor bills which might be sought by the Ministry. It could require a further specs kind of a coverage to assist… particularly if there’s a justification of a incapacity in that provide chain to maneuver to India,” Chandrashekhar mentioned.

“It’s a massive milestone for the nation immediately. After all of the scepticism about when a fab will probably be arrange and whether or not the large firms will come, we nonetheless have just a few extra initiatives within the pipeline. We may have 1.8 lakh wafers monthly if SCL modernisation and tower proposals are permitted,” Chandrasekhar added.
