Made-in-India chips by end of 2025: PM
Hindustan Times
|August 16, 2025
The first Made in India chips will be available in market by year-end, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday, ruing the opportunity to get ahead in semiconductor space that was lost 50-60 years ago.
In a speech with repeated references to the importance of self-reliance, the PM recalled how plans for a semiconductor factory began 50-60 years ago but the files were left to "atak, latak and bhatak," ( stuck, dangling and meandering) in bureaucratic limbo.
Now, he added, the country is in "mission mode," with six semiconductor units in the pipeline and four new ones already approved.
