Chip(per) ambitions: Why India needs its wafer fabs

India is aiming for self-reliance in semiconductor manufacturing by establishing its first indigenous semiconductor fabrication unit in 2026. The Tata unit is set to produce chips from scratch, while US-based Micron Technology's plant will handle packaging and testing. The move comes as the pandemic highlighted India's dependency on global supply chains for chips. Despite facing challenges posed by other advanced semiconductor-producing nations, India is making significant investments in the sector and expects its semiconductor manufacturing capacity to reach 1.8 lakh wafers per month. This push for self-reliance is crucial for national security and economic prosperity.
