Strategic Significance
Supply Chain Security and the Global Chip Ecosystem
Semiconductors sit at the intersection of technology policy and economic security; a handful of countries and firms (Taiwan, South Korea, the US, and a few equipment/materials suppliers) dominate advanced-node fabrication and lithography equipment, creating geopolitical chokepoints. India's Mission is explicitly framed as reducing this exposure by building domestic fabrication, packaging and design capacity, positioning India within global "friend-shoring" and supply-chain diversification trends following disruptions such as the 2021 global chip shortage.
- India currently has no large-scale operational advanced-logic fab; the first Mission-approved fabs and ATMP units are in various stages of construction/commissioning
- Global chip manufacturing capacity remains concentrated, with foundries and equipment makers based predominantly outside India, making domestic mission-linked capacity-building a stated national-security as well as economic priority
- India's semiconductor policy is often discussed alongside its participation in initiatives to diversify global electronics/chip supply chains away from single-country concentration
