India's Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY), along with the Power Ministry and Powergrid, have initiated a consultation process to develop indigenous power semiconductors and modules, aiming to reduce reliance on imports for critical electricity grid technologies like VSC-HVDC.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

India's move to cut imports of critical grid semiconductors opens a market for local chip makers and module engineers to gain government backing and new customers. You should engage with the consultation process closing early October to shape this emerging, government-prioritised sector.
