₹1.6 Trillion Semiconductor Investments: India’s 10 High-Value Semiconductor Manufacturing Projects

India is undergoing a major transformation in semiconductor manufacturing as 10 high-value projects worth ₹1.6 trillion were sanctioned in 2025.  

Under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), these initiatives focus on compound semiconductors, advanced packaging, legacy node fabrication, and display driver ICs to boost self-reliance and emerge as a global chip manufacturing hub. 

Key Semiconductor Facilities Launched in 2025 

India’s semiconductor vision advanced significantly from January to November 2025. A total of 10 fabrication and packaging projects have been approved under ISM, indicating a shift from chip importing to indigenous innovation. The market is expected to expand from $45-50 billion in 2025 to $100-110 billion by 2030. 

Mega Semiconductor Projects: SiCSem Pvt Ltd and RIR Power Electronics 

SiCSem Pvt Ltd launched India’s first commercial Silicon Carbide (SiC) fab in Bhubaneswar, Odisha with an investment as part of the ₹46,000 crore package. It aims to produce 60,000 wafers and 96 million packaging units annually for EVs and power applications. 

RIR Power Electronics Ltd also initiated the country’s first SiC semiconductor-manufacturing unit focused on high-voltage power devices. The investment totals ₹618 crore with the first phase operational by November 2025. 

Strategic Investments by Global Players: HCL-Foxconn 

HCL-Foxconn’s ₹3,706 crore joint venture in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh is focused on display driver IC production, targeting 36 million chips and 20,000 wafers per month. This move strengthens India’s position in consumer electronics manufacturing. 

New Mexico-based 3D Glass Solutions Inc marked its entry into India with an advanced packaging unit in Odisha. The facility supports next-gen glass substrate technology crucial for AI and HPC applications. 

CDIL, with a presence since 1964, began a brownfield expansion in Mohali, Punjab focusing on high-power Si and SiC discrete semiconductors for automotive, industrial, and energy sectors. This is also part of the August 2025 ₹46,000 crore approval package.

Emerging Ecosystems and Regional Focus 

Regional hubs are shaping up with Gujarat hosting major fab units like Tata-PSMC and Micron. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are fostering design startups while Andhra Pradesh and Assam are home to testing, packaging, and assembly plants.  

Odisha is quickly evolving as a centre for compound semiconductors and advanced packaging technologies, contributing significantly to India’s semiconductor roadmap. 

Conclusion 

India’s approval of semiconductor investments worth ₹1.6 trillion in 2025 signifies a strategic leap in domestic chip production. With facilities covering the entire semiconductor value chain from design to packaging, the nation is reducing its reliance on imports while building its position in the global chip ecosystem.
