India's first semiconductor chip will arrive by mid-2025: Union Minister said – Government approved Kaines' Rs 3,300 crore chip proposal

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that India's first semiconductor chip will come by mid-2025. Ashwini Vaishnav said this in a briefing after the cabinet meeting on Monday (September 2). Ashwini Vaishnav said that the Cabinet has approved the proposal of electronics manufacturer Kayans Industries to build a semiconductor packaging plant with a capacity to make 63 lakh chips every day. Kayans will invest Rs 3,300 crore for this plant. This plant will be built on 46 acres in Sanand, Gujarat. This plant will be built on 46 acres in Sanand, Gujarat. Where two other chip making proposals have also been approved under the Rs 76,000 crore India Semiconductor Mission. In June 2023, the first proposal to build the plant was approved. The chips made in this plant will be supplied to sectors like industrial, automotive, electric vehicles, consumer, electronics, telecom and mobile phones. In June 2023, the Union Cabinet approved the first proposal to build a semiconductor plant in Sanand, Gujarat. Three more semiconductor plants were approved in February 2024. Three more semiconductor plants were approved in February 2024. Tata Electronics is setting up a semiconductor plant in Dholera, Gujarat and another plant in Morigaon, Assam. At the same time, CG Power is setting up a semiconductor plant in Sanand, Gujarat. The total capacity of all plants is about 7 crore chips per day Vaishnav said that the construction of all 4 semiconductor plants is going on at a fast pace and a strong semiconductor ecosystem is emerging near the units. An investment of about Rs 1.5 lakh crore will come in these 4 plants. The total capacity of all these plants is about 7 crore chips per day. Taiwan makes 60% of the world's semiconductor chips. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI), Taiwan has a 60% share in the global chip fabrication capacity (the ability to physically manufacture semiconductors). TSMC alone manufactures almost half of the world's semiconductors. Chip made from silicon, it is like the brain of the gadget. Semiconductor chips are made of silicon, which work to control electricity in the circuit. This chip helps the gadgets to operate like a brain. Any electronic instrument is incomplete without it. Computers, laptops, cars, washing machines, ATMs, hospital machines and even smartphones work on semiconductor chips.
