Chandrasekhar said that the government will achieve the target of installing a semiconductor ecosystem in India depending upon the interest it is getting from around the world.

He announced the first conference on setting up the semiconductor ecosystem in the country -- Semicon India 2022 - that is expected to attract Semiconductor leaders from across the globe.

He said that the demand for digital devices and electronics products is only increasing. The company has announced a target of $300 billion in electronic manufacturing, with $120 billion in exports. The company's consumption, based on $300 billion in electronics, will be almost $70 to $80 billion of semiconductors.

Under the Semicon India Programme, the government has received proposals from five companies to establish the electronic chip and display manufacturing plants with an investment of Rs 1.53 lakh crore.

The Semicon India programme entailed incentives to the tune of Rs 76,000 crore. As per the report, firms like Vedanta Foxconn JV, IGSS Ventures, and ISMC have submitted proposals to establish electronic chip manufacturing plants with a $13.6 billion investment. They have sought support of $5.6 billion from the government under the Rs 76,000 crore programme.

Further, Vedanta and Elest have offered a projected investment of $6.7 billion to establish display manufacturing units -- used in mobile phones, laptops, etc. They have sought the support of $2.7 billion from the government under the scheme for establishing display fabs in India.

On 29th April 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the first-ever Semicon India 2022 Conference at 11 am in Bengaluru.
