The nation is in a position to become a major force in the world semiconductor manufacturing market. At Dholera, Gujarat, the Tata Group has established a state-of-the-art chip production factory focused on providing advanced technologies. The emphasis on producing chips with the 28-nanometer technology shows that India is prepared to adopt cutting-edge procedures and wants to be a global competitor.
Additionally, the intention to modernise the SCL (Semiconductor Laboratory), an existing facility in Mohali, reflects a comprehensive effort to bolster the chip ecosystem. The Center wants to invest Rs 10,000 crore so that it can work with a partner to become an R&D and training centre.

The secret to opening up a plethora of opportunities is the massive drive toward semiconductor factories. The chips produced in these facilities will spur technical innovation and advancement in a variety of industries, including consumer electronics, telecom, electric cars, and defence and high-performance computing.
The Dholera facility alone is predicted to provide 20,000 direct and indirect skilled jobs. Similar plans call for the establishment of facilities in Sanand, Gujarat, and Assam. This sector will not only promote economic growth but also create thousands of job possibilities.

Notably, the Cabinet’s approval comes at a critical time when countries all over the world are re-evaluating their reliance on China’s semiconductor industry in light of supply chain disruptions brought on by geopolitical crises. India has a wealth of expertise when it comes to chip design, but in order to become a semiconductor hub, the country must struggle to retain and attract the brightest minds.
