The fifth edition of SEMICON India will be held from September 17 to 19 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, bringing together global semiconductor companies, policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, startups and academia as India seeks to strengthen its position in the global semiconductor ecosystem.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate SEMICON India 2026 on September 17. The three-day conference and exhibition, themed “Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem”, is being jointly organised by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and SEMI, the global semiconductor industry association.
The event comes as India’s semiconductor programme gains momentum. Under Semicon India 1.0, 12 semiconductor projects have been approved, while the Union Cabinet has approved the next phase, Semicon 2.0, to accelerate the development of a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem.
Of the 12 projects approved under Semicon 1.0, three have already commenced commercial production, according to MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan.
The government is also focusing on semiconductor research, design and innovation. State-of-the-art design tools have been made available to more than 332 academic institutions and 105 startups, while 24 startups have been approved under the Design Linked Incentive scheme.
