India's Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that the first domestically designed silicon chip will debut later this year, with plans for a semiconductor fabrication plant to be operational by 2026. The initiative is driven by a desire to meet burgeoning global demand, create an alternative to Chinese and Taiwanese suppliers, and reduce geopolitical risks. Although the initial chips will utilize 28nm processes, more advanced technology is anticipated in the following years. The government has allocated a $10 billion subsidy to foster the semiconductor industry, which aims to develop a range of applications through innovative design capabilities.
