Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the fifth edition of SEMICON India 2026 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi.
The three-day event is being held under the theme “Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem.”
SEMICON India 2026 brings together semiconductor companies, policymakers, investors, researchers, start-ups, academic institutions and students from across the global electronics ecosystem. More than 600 companies and representatives from 52 countries are participating.
It is jointly organised by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and SEMI.
During his address, PM Modi said India’s semiconductor ecosystem is expanding rapidly and highlighted opportunities for innovation, investment and growth.
He also said chips produced in Indian plants have begun reaching customers in India and abroad.
The government has also approved Semicon 2.0 with an outlay of ₹1,27,500 crore, focusing on chip design, research, machines and materials, fabs, advanced packaging and talent development.
SEMICON India 2026 therefore focuses on strengthening India’s semiconductor value chain—from design and materials to manufacturing, packaging and electronics systems.
