NEW DELHI:

While speaking to the media at Semicon India 2025, Vaishnaw said that a significant portion of the incentives will be earmarked for product development.

"Getting ecosystem partners into the country is very important because that is the way to sustainably grow.

"All the sectors need to be covered. We will continue that same approach and will give a lot of support to equipment manufacturers, material manufacturers and all other ecosystem partners. That will be a significant part of our journey," the minister said in response to a question on the next version of the India Semicon Programme.
