Press Release, 3 December 2025
The Indian government’s “India’s High-Tech Revolution” brief spotlights how the Semicon India programme, along with related initiatives and incentives, is steering the country toward becoming a global hub for electronics and advanced manufacturing including chips, batteries, displays and EV components.
Under this strategy, India is not just aiming to ramp up semiconductor fabrication, but also to bolster manufacturing for EVs (and their parts), renewable-energy equipment, medical devices, telecom hardware and more. The government has aligned multiple production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes for automobiles, auto components, battery chemistry cells, and electronics — to reduce import dependence, foster value-addition, and build end-to-end supply-chains.
Beyond boosting manufacturing capacity, the push aims to increase India’s competitiveness globally by incentivising the adoption of advanced technologies — semiconductors, lithium-ion batteries, and other critical components needed for EVs and next-gen electronics. In doing so, the policy envisions creating jobs, reducing import bills, and setting the stage for long-term self-reliance across high-tech sectors.
In short, Semicon India and its supporting schemes are laying the groundwork for India to evolve from being a consumption-heavy market to a manufacturing powerhouse — across chips, batteries, EVs and electronics aligning technology, sustainability and economic growth.
