SEMICON India 2025, the nation’s largest semiconductor conference, concluded successfully at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi, from 2–4 September 2025. The three-day event marked a defining moment in India's ambition to become a global semiconductor hub, bringing together more than 350 exhibiting companies and participants from 48 countries and regions.
Organised jointly by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and global industry association SEMI, the event saw 35,000 registrations, 30,000 footfalls and 25,000 online viewers. The event featured four country pavilions, six country roundtables, a dedicated workforce development pavilion, and an extensive conference programme covering chip design, fabrication, packaging, research, display manufacturing, ecosystem growth and state policies.
Following earlier editions in Bengaluru (2022), Gandhinagar (2023), and Greater Noida (2024), the Delhi chapter of SEMICON India raised the bar, positioning India more firmly on the global semiconductor map.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the conference and underscored the government’s long-term commitment to building a globally competitive semiconductor ecosystem. “The day is not far when India’s smallest chip will drive the world’s biggest change,” he said, citing the nation’s journey of ‘Reform, Perform, Transform’ and signalling the beginning of a new phase of next-generation reforms under the India Semiconductor Mission.
The Prime Minister also engaged with global CEOs and CXOs on Day 2, holding high-level discussions on India’s emerging role in the global chip value chain. The conference served as a platform to facilitate cross-border collaboration, skill development, research commercialisation, and strategic investment.
From Day 1, when 13 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed to promote domestic capabilities in chip design, camera modules, microphone buds, miniature packaging, and workforce development, to Day 3, which featured high-powered panels and keynotes on India’s evolving design ecosystem, the event attracted policymakers, global business leaders, researchers, and professionals across the semiconductor supply chain.
The closing ceremony was addressed by Amitesh Kumar Sinha, CEO of ISM, and Ajit Manocha, President of SEMI, who announced seven additional developments to further accelerate India's progress in this sector.
