All Indians Matter - Why India wants to be a #semiconductor hub and what stands in its way

India wants to become a global semiconductor manufacturing centre, attracting investment, creating jobs and making itself less vulnerable to the kind of shortages witnessed after the COVID-19 pandemic. The chips are at the heart of various devices and machines, from cars to laptops and defence equipment to smartphones. The Centre is offering subsidies and incentives, and there is a lot of interest from global majors.
However, there are serious challenges too: the industry is capital-intensive, requires vast amounts of ultra-pure water and uninterrupted power supply – none of which can be guaranteed in India. Can #india trump #China, the US and the EU to become the world’s semiconductor assembly line? Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter.
