Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Tuesday inaugurate 'Semicon India - 2025', aimed at catalysing India's Semiconductor ecosystem. He will inaugurate it at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi.

He will also participate in CEOs roundtable.

The three-day Conference, from September 2 to 4, will focus on advancing a robust, resilient, and sustainable semiconductor ecosystem in India. It will feature sessions on the progress of the Semicon India Programme, semiconductor fab and advanced packaging projects, infrastructure readiness, smart manufacturing, innovations in R&D and artificial intelligence, investment opportunities, and state-level policy implementation.

The event will highlight initiatives under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, the growth of the startup ecosystem, international cooperation, and the future roadmap for India's semiconductor sector.

Over 20,750 attendees will participate, including more than 2,500 delegates from over 48 countries, over 150 speakers, including over 50 global leaders, and more than 350 exhibitors.

Great to see international recognition, but we need to focus on manufacturing too. Design is one part, but actual chip fabrication plants in India would create complete ecosystem. Hope Semicon 2025 addresses this.
