The India Electronics and Semiconductor Affiliation (IESA) and SEMI extends its warmest needs to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his seventy fifth birthday, September 17, 2025. 

As India advances with unprecedented pace within the international know-how panorama, we acknowledge and have a good time the Prime Minister’s visionary management, which has been the guiding drive behind the nation’s emergence as a formidable participant within the semiconductor and electronics sector.

Underneath the Prime Minister’s steadfast management, the federal government has moved with outstanding agility to create a complete ecosystem for electronics and semiconductor design and manufacturing. This imaginative and prescient is backed by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), with a monetary outlay of ₹76,000 crore. 

This initiative, together with the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, has attracted vital investments, with a complete venture worth of ₹1.60 lakh crore introduced in fab vegetation, ATMP/OSAT items, DLI beneficiaries and varied state-level insurance policies. These ventures haven’t solely attracted funding, but additionally fostered a brand new wave of innovation and entrepreneurship, remodeling India’s potential right into a tangible actuality.

Throughout his handle on the current Semicon India 2025 occasion, PM Modi eloquently captured the essence of this new period. He quoted, “Oil was black gold, however chips are digital diamonds.” 

This highly effective assertion highlights the strategic shift from a resource-based economic system to at least one powered by digital innovation, with semiconductors at its core. A particular spotlight of the occasion was the Prime Minister’s go to to the exhibition cubicles and his roundtable interplay with international CXOs—a second that may play a pivotal function in shaping the way forward for the world’s know-how panorama, stated Ashok Chandak, CEO and President SEMI India and IESA. 

The Prime Minister’s imaginative and prescient for a “full-stack semiconductor nation” is now taking form, transferring India past backend operations to turn out to be a world hub for design, manufacturing, and packaging. That is already evidenced by the groundbreaking institution of India’s chip design and manufacturing amenities, 32-bit VIKRAM processor and the upcoming rollout of the primary “Made in India” business chip. 

As he so compellingly put it, “The day just isn’t far when India’s smallest chip will drive the world’s greatest change.”

IESA and SEMI is proud to be a companion on this mission, working carefully with the federal government to construct a design and manufacturing ecosystem having dedicated 20 Bn$ USD by member firms in semiconductor manufacturing tasks, ambition of $500 billion electronics {industry}, expert workforce improvement initiative, facilitate industry-academia collaborations aligning with ChipIN heart having assist to 285 tutorial establishments, and creating a large R&D initiative of industry-sponsored analysis, Begin Up Mitra initiative selling DLI, supporting the $1 billion Deep Tech Enterprise fund, and many others. 

We’re assured that with the continued dedication and strategic path of the Prime Minister, India will fulfill his daring prophecy: “The day just isn’t far when the entire world will say – Designed in India, Made in India, Trusted by the World,” continued Chandak.

The muse has been laid, and the momentum is unstoppable. Completely happy Birthday to the architect of India’s digital future.
