India notifies ₹1.275 trillion Semicon 2.0 plan to broaden chip investment
The government has put its expanded semiconductor policy into effect, creating a large fiscal framework for domestic chip capabilities. For investors, the initiative broadens the potential beneficiaries beyond fabrication plants to design, equipment, packaging and intellectual property.
₹1.275 trillion framework notified
India’s central government notified Semicon 2.0 on August 31, setting in motion a ₹1,27,500-crore plan to deepen the country’s semiconductor ecosystem. Other sources describe the outlay in rounded form as ₹1.27 lakh crore, or ₹1.27 trillion.instagram+2
The policy is intended to support a self-reliant and resilient domestic semiconductor ecosystem, extending the government-backed push from chip manufacturing toward a broader, full-stack industry.plutusias+1
Support spans the chip value chain
Reported areas of coverage include semiconductor design, equipment, fabrication plants, packaging and strategic intellectual property. That wider remit makes the program relevant to multiple parts of the supply chain rather than fabrication projects alone.instagram+2
