Medial
India has emerged as a promising contender in the global market, with the potential to challenge China. The country's large market size and the growing sentiment against China allows India to negotiate better terms for technology transfer. The era of free markets and trade has come to an end, as the US and other major economies now prioritize industrial policies for competitive advantage and security. India is also recognizing the need for such policies, aligning itself with global trends.

The US government is set to provide around $30 billion in subsidies for advanced semiconductor manufacturing to bring AI chip development and manufacturing to American soil. However, allocating the funds to overseas leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) or to Intel, a domestic company with promising turnaround efforts, poses a challenge. Additionally, the rapidly evolving nature of AI chips means there is no guarantee that subsidies provided today will secure future AI chip development. Intel, TSMC, and Samsung are all likely to receive some degree of US subsidies, but the precise allocation remains uncertain.

The US Government is considering providing $10 billion worth of subsidies to Intel to secure domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Currently, most semiconductors used in the US are manufactured in areas vulnerable to Chinese interference. The CHIPS Act has allocated $53 billion to secure domestic semiconductor production, with Intel planning to use potential subsidies to expand manufacturing in Arizona and New Mexico. Intel is also planning to construct a chip factory in Ohio, which will be the world's largest, but completion may be delayed until 2026. This move has drawn criticism for not diversifying semiconductor suppliers sufficiently.

The Tata Group and Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) are partnering to set up a semiconductor chip manufacturing plant in Gujarat. The first chip is expected to be ready by the end of 2026. The joint venture (JV) between the two companies is focused on technology transfer at the moment, with investment plans to be discussed later. The Indian government is estimated to subsidize up to 70% of the project cost. The Dholera unit is set to become India's first commercial semiconductor fab. The plant will start with manufacturing 28nm chips and will gradually move towards higher-end chips. The partnership was chosen due to the Tata Group's financial capabilities and government subsidies. The Taiwanese company was approached by the Indian government in 2022 and had discussions with other conglomerates as well. The project is seen as a significant step for India's growth in the manufacturing and chip space.

The Indian Cabinet is expected to approve incentives for Israeli semiconductor company Tower's proposal to establish a chip fabrication unit in India. This marks the country's first pure-play chip foundry project, estimated at $9-10 billion. The government will subsidize 50% of the investment under the Indian Semiconductor Mission, with additional subsidies from states. Proposals for outsourced assembly and testing (OSAT) units by HCL Group-Foxconn Group and the Tata group are also likely to be approved. The investments aim to bolster India's semiconductor manufacturing and fabrication ecosystem.

Electric mobility ecosystem should not rely solely on government subsidies like the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) program, according to Arun Vinayak, CEO of Exponent Energy. Vinayak suggests moving towards performance-based incentives and production-linked incentives, rather than easy subsidies. The Indian government has recently transitioned from FAME subsidies to the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS). Exponent Energy, founded by former Ather Energy executives, has developed fast-charging technology that can fully charge a vehicle in 15 minutes. Vinayak also emphasized the importance of interoperability in charging infrastructure and the need for safety standards, without forcing standardization that hinders innovation.
