On March 14, 2024, India witnessed a historic leap in its tech and industrial journey, all thanks to Prime Minister Modi’s forward-looking leadership. At the heart of this milestone was the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), celebrating the launch of three groundbreaking semiconductor projects. These weren’t just any projects; they were the embodiment of a 15-year strategic vision, taking place across Dholera, Sanand, and Morigaon in Assam. Dubbed ‘India’s Techade’, these spots have now become symbols of India’s dreams to dominate the global semiconductor scene.
The IESA, a leading advocate for the electronic system design and manufacturing (ESDM) sector, has been instrumental in this transformative journey. “Charkha to chips – world record created,” remarked. Mr. Ashok Chandak, President of IESA, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “”Charkha to chips – world record created,” with the foundation laying ceremony at three plants within 15 days of approvals. This momentous occasion signifies years of dedication and perseverance. IESA is proud to have shaped India’s semiconductor ecosystem, realizing our vision. With Prime Minister Modi’s support and industry stakeholders’ collective efforts, we witness a new era in India’s semiconductor sector.”
India’s stride into semiconductor self-reliance is not merely an industrial leap but a strategic move positioning the nation at the vanguard of global innovation, research, and manufacturing within this domain. The collaborative ecosystem fostered by IESA has paved the way for policy reforms, knowledge exchange, and substantial investments, catalyzing the growth of the semiconductor industry.
