The Indian government plans to take equity stakes in semiconductor startups as part of its India Semiconductor Mission 2.0, which has a budget of ₹1.27 lakh crore. This initiative aims to bolster the domestic semiconductor industry and reduce reliance on imports, according to a report from Moneycontrol.
Government Initiative
The strategy is expected to attract significant investment and support innovation in the semiconductor sector. The government’s move comes amid a global push for semiconductor self-sufficiency, as supply chain disruptions have highlighted vulnerabilities in reliance on foreign manufacturers.
