A top government body is examining "a significant number" of applications to set up semiconductor fabrication units and testing facilities in India, said Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union minister of state (MOS) for electronics and Information Technology (IT).

'Several Eols for chip, testing units'

In an interview, Chandrasekhar spoke about domestic electronics manufacturing, likely production-linked incentives, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and cybersecurity. Edited excerpts:

How many semiconductor project proposals has India received so far?

We have a significant number of proposals that are all being evaluated today. They span compound fabs, compound OSATS (outsourced semiconductor assembly and test), silicon OSATs and silicon fabs. We've also recently floated an expression of interest (Eol) for modernizing the Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), Mohali. That has also received significant interest. All of these proposals and expressions of interest are with the ISM TFAG.

What is the modernization plan for SCL?
