SEMICON India 2025, the country’s largest and most influential semiconductor conference, successfully concluded today at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi, highlighting India’s accelerating progress toward becoming a global hub for semiconductor innovation, design, and manufacturing. Held from 2nd to 4th September, the event brought together an impressive lineup of over 350 exhibiting companies and participants from 48 countries and regions.
Key highlights included four international country pavilions, six country roundtables, a dedicated Workforce Development Pavilion, and a three-day conference that covered a wide spectrum of topics—ranging from semiconductor design, fab and display manufacturing, packaging, and R&D, to state policies, ecosystem building, and global collaboration. The event saw 35,000 registrations, 30,000 footfalls, and 25,000 virtual participants, making it the most widely attended edition to date.
Jointly organized by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and SEMI, the global industry association for the electronics manufacturing supply chain, SEMICON India 2025 proved to be a powerful platform for industry leaders, policymakers, academic institutions, startups, and investors. It facilitated high-impact discussions, cross-border partnerships, investment announcements, and talent development initiatives, advancing India’s mission to build a resilient and globally competitive semiconductor ecosystem.
The event was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who not only addressed delegates during the opening ceremony but also engaged with exhibitors and global industry leaders on Day 2. During a roundtable discussion with CEOs and CXOs from top semiconductor companies, the Prime Minister gained insights on international perspectives and discussed India’s positioning in the evolving global chip economy.
Emphasizing India’s long-term commitment, he stated “We are creating a semiconductor ecosystem that makes India self-reliant and globally competitive. The day is not far when India’s smallest chip will drive the world’s biggest change. Our journey began late but nothing can stop us now.”
From the outset, the conference delivered results. On Day 1, the Union Minister announced 13 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with key players in areas such as indigenous chip design, camera modules, miniature packaging, microphone components, and talent development. On Day 3, expert panels and keynote sessions focused on accelerating India’s chip design ecosystem, with active participation from technology leaders, researchers, engineers, manufacturers, analysts, and students—reflecting the growing interest across the entire microelectronics supply chain.
During the closing ceremony, jointly addressed by Amitesh Kumar Sinha, CEO, India Semiconductor Mission, and Ajit Manocha, President of SEMI, seven new announcements were made, reinforcing the government’s ongoing commitment to nurturing the semiconductor industry through next-generation policy reforms, R&D support, and capacity building.
Building on the success of previous editions in Bengaluru (2022), Gandhinagar (2023), and Greater Noida (2024), this year’s Delhi edition raised the bar by clearly defining India’s trajectory as a global force in semiconductors. With strong participation from both public and private sectors, the event served as a clear indicator of India’s ability to design, develop, and manufacture advanced semiconductor technologies on a global scale.
The Prime Minister also underscored that India’s progress is guided by the mantra of “Reform, Perform, and Transform”, and that the next phase of the India Semiconductor Mission is already underway, driven by long-term strategic policies rather than short-term incentives. These efforts aim to ensure India’s robust integration into the global value chain while making it a critical node for chip design, fabrication, and innovation.
More than just a technology event, SEMICON India 2025 was a powerful statement of intent—India’s determination to lead in the new era of digital transformation, technological self-reliance, and high-value manufacturing. With strong backing from government initiatives, growing foreign investment, and a rapidly developing ecosystem, India is well-positioned to shape the future of the semiconductor industry and drive digital innovation at scale. SEMICON India 2025 marked not just an event but a turning point—demonstrating that “Design and Make in India” is not a distant goal, but a fast-approaching reality.
