India’s semiconductor strategy, marked by the launch of Semicon 2.0 with a budget of INR 1.275 lakh crore, aims to build capability beyond fabrication to include design, IP, EDA tools, and advanced packaging, focusing on selective technological autonomy rather than complete self-sufficiency.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

India’s push past chip fabrication into design and packaging signals a shift to owning higher-value parts of chipmaking. If you serve semiconductor design or equipment tech, this opens a sharper market with government backing that changes where competition will emerge.
