The research institute predicts that 2023 has the high chance of boosting semiconductor manufacturing in India by beginning new fabs and the expansion of current units. It can counter the ongoing impediments and geopolitics scuffles, most of the procedure will be completely digitized, forming a new talent pool in this ecosystem, and most importantly, moving towards environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.

The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) and Design Linked Incentive (DLI) packages are also expected to attract investments and establish India as a centre for semiconductor manufacturing."
According to an exclusive report by PTI, With growing demand, the industry is poised to play an important role in enhancing the global value chain as it will expand to a market size of $85 billion and generate employability for 6,00,000 by 2030.
