India, Aug. 13 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Dedicated Mission Laid The Foundation For Self-Reliance
From Policy to Semiconductor Manufacturing
Semiconductor facilities will supply critical components for automobiles, telecommunications, aerospace, power electronics and consumer electronics
Electronic Design Automation (EDA)
Global Partnerships
The IndiaAI Mission, approved with an outlay of about Rs.10,372 crore, has made significant strides over the past year. The Mission's ambition is focused on building capabilities that are secure, inclusive and rooted in Indian needs. It aims to make AI a strategic capability for innovation, economic growth and public service delivery.
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
Foundational AI Models
Digital Backbone For AI Models
From Laboratories To Real-World Governance
Innovation Via Centres Of Excellences
Building The Talent And Deep-Tech Ecosystem
Trusted AI Alongside Rapid Adoption
Expansion of Data Centre Capacity to Support AI Infrastructure
Global Recognition
EDA tools are software platforms used to design, simulate, verify and optimize semiconductor chips. They manage complex chip designs, detect errors before manufacturing, and improve performance, power efficiency and reliability. By reducing design time, costs and manufacturing risks, EDA tools enable faster development of advanced chips for various applications.
Sovereign AI Computing Capacity At Scale
A GPU is a specialised electronic processor designed to accelerate graphics, image processing and other data-intensive computing tasks. GPUs are widely used in computers, smartphones, servers and other digital devices.
Powering the Future
From Chips to AI: Building India's Technology Leadership
Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology, powering everything from smartphones and vehicles to satellites and AI systems. AI is now accelerating the demand for advanced chips, specialised processors and high-performance computing, making the two technologies increasingly inseparable. Recognising this convergence, India is building capabilities from chip design and fabrication to computing infrastructure and indigenous AI models. Government initiatives across both sectors are creating an integrated technology ecosystem that strengthens self-reliance, supply-chain resilience and innovation. This convergence is also opening new opportunities in advanced manufacturing, research, entrepreneurship and high-value employment. As India marks its 80th Independence Day, these capabilities mark a decisive step towards global technology leadership and a Viksit Bharat.
Semiconductors: Foundation for Technological Self-Reliance
India is building domestic capabilities across the semiconductor value chain, from chip design and fabrication to advanced packaging, equipment and materials. By strengthening domestic capabilities today, India is positioning itself to shape the technologies of tomorrow.
This integrated approach strengthens supply-chain resilience, expands domestic value addition and positions India for future semiconductor leadership.
Developing Indigenous Semiconductor Design Capabilities
These partnerships are helping integrate Indian companies into global semiconductor value chains and accelerate domestic capabilities.
IndiaAI Mission: Building India's Sovereign and Inclusive AI Ecosystem
Sustaining Momentum in Chips and AI
India's semiconductor programme is progressing from approvals and design support to commercial production. The next phase, Semicon 2.0, broadens the focus to equipment, materials, advanced packaging, research, indigenous intellectual property and talent. The IndiaAI Mission is building shared compute and supporting applications across government, industry, academia and start-ups. This integrated approach is strengthening technology capabilities, enabling responsible AI governance and supporting sustained innovation.
