India Semiconductor Mission (ISM): Launched with a budget of ₹76,000 crore ($10 billion), ISM is the backbone of India’s semiconductor strategy. It provides financial incentives for setting up fabs, ATMP (Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging) units, and design facilities.
- Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme: Offers up to 50% fiscal support for semiconductor manufacturing projects, making India globally competitive.
- Strategic Partnerships: India has signed MoUs and strategic tech partnerships with countries like the US, Japan, and Taiwan to strengthen its semiconductor ecosystem.
Here some global companies are manufacturing in partnership with Indian companies.
