SEMICON India 2026 concluded in New Delhi on September 19, with global semiconductor companies announcing investment and expansion plans as India continued its efforts to build a domestic semiconductor ecosystem.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the three-day event at Yashobhoomi on September 17, where he highlighted India’s engineering talent pool and semiconductor policies while calling on global companies to consider the country as a manufacturing destination.
The event brought together more than 600 companies from 52 countries, with global semiconductor manufacturers, equipment suppliers, investors, start-ups and other industry stakeholders participating in discussions around India’s semiconductor ambitions.
Among the major announcements, Applied Materials announced its India Vision 2035, including a planned investment of US$5 billion over the next decade and a tenfold expansion of its India-based supply-chain capacity by 2035.
Lam Research also announced plans to invest approximately ₹10,000 crore in its first silicon-component manufacturing and vertical ingot-processing plant in India. The company also highlighted the expansion of its Semiverse programme, which had reached more than 99 universities.
Micron Technology said it planned to test and assemble hundreds of millions of chips in India in 2027, following the start of production at its Gujarat facility in 2026. Tata Electronics was also progressing with its semiconductor manufacturing plans in Gujarat.
Germany’s Infineon Technologies also highlighted the expansion of its workforce in India, while companies across the semiconductor equipment, materials and manufacturing ecosystem announced partnerships and investment initiatives during the event.
The event came as India moved into the next phase of its semiconductor programme. The Union Cabinet had approved Semicon 2.0 in July 2026 with an outlay of ₹1,27,500 crore, covering six areas including chip design, machines and materials, fabs, advanced packaging, research and development, and talent development.
SEMICON India 2026 also marked the launch of additional commercial semiconductor production lines, taking the number of operational commercial semiconductor ATMP units to five among the 12 projects approved under Semicon 1.0, according to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
The event concluded with 15 announcements and collaborations covering semiconductor design, indigenous computing, fab automation, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, start-ups and workforce development.
