Five Semiconductor Supply-Chain Segments Offering Opportunities
1. Chip Design and Semiconductor IP
Chip design is an attractive entry point because it can build on India’s established engineering and software talent. Opportunities include application-
2. Semiconductor Assembly, Testing and Advanced Packaging
Assembly, testing, marking, and packaging (ATMP), along with outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT), can help India expand its manufacturing footprint. Advanced packaging technologies are becoming increasingly important as manufacturers integrate multiple chips and improve performance, power efficiency, and space utilization.
3. Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
Fabrication plants require highly specialized equipment for wafer processing, inspection, metrology, and production control. Developing domestic capabilities in selected equipment categories could create opportunities for engineering companies, precision manufacturers, and technology suppliers.
India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 Strengthens the Ecosystem
India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 signals a broader policy focus on developing the supply chain around chip manufacturing, rather than concentrating exclusively on fabrication. The initiative targets equipment and materials production, semiconductor design, domestic intellectual property, research and development, and workforce development.
