India is gearing up to make a dramatic leap in the global tech arena, as the country’s first domestically manufactured semiconductor chips are slated to debut in 2025. Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Minister for Railways, Communications, Electronics, and Information Technology, made the announcement during the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“Our first ‘Made in India’ chip will be rolled out this year and now we are looking at the next phase, where we can get equipment manufacturers, material manufacturers and designers in India. For materials, from parts per million purity, we need to go to parts per billion purity levels. This requires huge transformative changes in the process and the industry is working to achieve this,” Vaishnaw stated to the media.
