Semiconductors

Overview

The semiconductor sector is a sub-segment of the rapidly growing Indian electronics industry. Semiconductors are used in a variety of end-user industries such as information technology, office automation, automobiles, mobile devices and telecommunication equipment.

With the Indian government pushing initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India,’ the semiconductor sector is poised for further growth. The government is hoping to make the semiconductor sector a self-reliant industry in India and reduce the sector’s dependence on imports. More than 27 million jobs are expected to be created in the semiconductor sector over the next few years with increased thrust from the Indian government.

The Semiconductor Sector in India: A Snapshot

Key Stats
  • The Associated Chambers of Commerce of India (ASSOCHAM) estimates that the Indian electronics and hardware industry is expected to reach US$112-130 billion by 2018
  • Mobile devices are expected to register the growth rate
  • The Indian government has allowed 100% foreign direct investment in electronics systems design and the manufacturing sector under the automatic route
Challenges
