Modern technology is revolutionising industries, driving innovations in smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and advanced AI systems. As India strives for self-reliance in technological advancements, the country has seen a rapid rise in advanced technology startups.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the core of this transformation lies the semiconductor industry and the government’s intention to give this space a much-needed push.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2021, the government launched the Semicon India programme, committing INR 76,000 Cr to incentivise silicon semiconductor fabs, display fabs, compound semiconductors, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A year later, the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) was introduced to establish India as a global hub for electronics manufacturing and design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, part of the \u2018Semicon India Future Design\u2019 programme, is one of the many initiatives that offers financial and infrastructure support to boost semiconductor development. It focusses on areas like integrated circuits (ICs), chipsets, Systems on Chips (SoCs), and related designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u2018Make in India\u2019 initiative further reinforces efforts to reduce dependency on imports and strengthen the domestic tech ecosystem. Not to mention, partnerships with global semiconductor giants, including AMD, Micron, and Qualcomm, have complemented these initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

In February 2022, the Tata Group, in collaboration with Taiwan\u2019s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (PSMC), secured approval to establish India\u2019s first semiconductor fab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this is not India\u2019s first stab at doing something notable in this sector. The country\u2019s journey in the semiconductor space dates back to 1976, with the establishment of the Semiconductor Laboratory in Mohali, Punjab, under the leadership of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Years later, new-age startups have formed a beeline to chase the country’s semiconductor dream that could potentially transform the world for good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid this and the rising demand for faster and more efficient chips, Indian startups are exploring diverse opportunities in this space. According to an <\/span>Inc42 report<\/span><\/a>, the Indian semiconductor market is projected to become a $150 Bn opportunity by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

Investor interest in the sector surged in 2024, with funding for semiconductor startups exceeding to$28 Mn from $5 Mn in 2023. Chennai-based Mindgrove Technologies led the way with $8 Mn in funding, followed by FermionIC with $6 Mn.<\/span><\/p>\n

While much is yet to be achieved, here is the list of startups which are poised to shape India\u2019s semiconductor future.<\/span><\/p>\n
