Semicon India 2025, held from September 2–4, 2025 at Yashobhoomi (IICC), Dwarka, concluded successfully, marking a pivotal milestone in India’s semiconductor ambitions. Organized jointly by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) under MeitY and SEMI, the event showcased India’s growing prowess in chip design, manufacturing, packaging, and innovation across a three-day conference and exhibition.
The event hosted over 350 exhibiting companies and attracted participants from 48 countries, with attendance figures reaching 35,000 registrations, 30,000 on-ground visitors, and 25,000 online views. World leaders from across the semiconductor value chain-along with policymakers, researchers, academia, startups, and global CEOs-participated in a broad spectrum of sessions covering design, fabrication, packaging, R&D, ecosystem development, and state policies.
The conference was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who praised India’s growing semiconductor ecosystem with statements such as “Designed in India, made in India, trusted by the world” and “chips are digital diamonds”. He also announced that commercial chip production would begin by the end of 2025, underscoring government support and ambitious production-linked schemes.
A flagship moment during the event was the unveiling of India’s first fully indigenous 32-bit microprocessor, “Vikram”, designed by ISRO and tested for high-reliability applications-presented by Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to PM Modi.
The event also featured noteworthy collaborations and announcements, including a UAlbany and RUAS partnership to offer graduate-level semiconductor training, and MoUs between Tata Electronics, Merck, C-DAC, and IIT-M Pravartak under the DLI scheme, all aimed at strengthening India’s deep-tech and talent ecosystem. Additionally, ASML made its debut appearance, showcasing lithography systems and advanced inspection tools to support India’s semiconductor infrastructure.
Through high-profile launches, global participation, and strategic policy dialogue, Semicon India 2025 affirmed India’s position as a rising semiconductor superpower-charting a clear trajectory toward technological self-reliance, ecosystem depth, and global integration.
