# Has India made its own semiconductor chips yet?



## Answers

### Answer by Aino Lehtinen

India has started. Under the India Semiconductor Mission, the government has approved several chip-making and chip-packaging projects, including a major fabrication plant in Dholera, Gujarat, and assembly and testing units in Gujarat and Assam.

In 2025, India showcased chips produced in the country, including a domestically designed processor, as a symbolic first step. Full-scale commercial production at large fabs takes years to ramp up, so most of the chips used in India will still be imported for some time.

The challenges are huge: chip factories cost billions of dollars, need extremely pure water and stable power, and depend on highly skilled engineers.
