Semicon 2.0 Could Become India's Most Important AI Policy, Experts Say

The Rs 1.3 lakh crore semiconductor mission, Semicon 2.0, has the potential to create the design talent, packaging capabilities, and supply-chain resilience needed for India to build its own AI hardware ecosystem over the next decade. Industry leaders say that Semicon 2.0 could become India's most important AI policy, as it has the potential to create a self-sufficient AI hardware ecosystem. The mission aims to create a semiconductor design and manufacturing ecosystem in India, which will enable the country to build its own AI hardware. This will not only reduce India's dependence on foreign hardware but also create new job opportunities in the semiconductor industry. The Indian government has approved the mission, and it is expected to be implemented soon.
