India will begin commercial semiconductor production by the end of 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday, touting his nation as a future “global hub” for chip innovation. Modi, speaking in New Delhi at the launch of the annual Semicon India conference, said test chips from Micron and Tata were already being produced. “Commercial chip production will begin this year,” he said. “This reflects how rapidly India is advancing in the semiconductor sector.” (AFP)
