India Achieves TEC Certification for Indigenous Telecom System

India’s semiconductor ambitions received a major boost as a telecom system built with indigenously manufactured chips secured Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC) certification.
Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the achievement on X, calling it a “big leap for India’s semiconductor story.” For the first time, a telecom system powered by Indian-made chips has successfully cleared all standards and quality tests.
TEC certification, issued by the Department of Telecommunications, confirms that the product meets stringent benchmarks for performance and quality. This milestone marks a significant step in India’s push for self-reliance in technology under the Make in India initiative, showcasing the country’s growing capabilities in semiconductor design and fabrication while strengthening its global position in telecom and electronics.
At Semicon India 2025, Minister Vaishnaw presented the Vikram 32-bit processor and test chips from four sanctioned projects to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Vikram chip, developed by ISRO’s Semiconductor Laboratory, is India’s first fully Make-in-India 32-bit microprocessor, engineered to operate reliably under the extreme conditions of launch vehicles.
Prime Minister Modi inaugurated SEMICON India 2025 on 2 September in New Delhi. The fourth edition of the event is India’s largest, featuring over 350 exhibiting companies from 33 countries and regions, and a record number of global stakeholders. SEMICON India 2025 is jointly organised by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and SEMI, the global semiconductor industry association.
Since its launch in 2021, the ISM has transformed India’s semiconductor journey from vision to reality. To support this growth, the government announced a Rs 76,000 crore Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, with nearly Rs 65,000 crore already committed to advancing semiconductor manufacturing in the country.
