Indian Govt. opens up Proposals submit date for Semiconductor manufacturers from January 1, 2022

On December 30, 2021, the Government of India announced that the government will start receiving proposals from companies for semiconductor and display manufacturing from January 1, 2022. The Minister of Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, said: “All the schemes have been notified, uploaded on the website and a portal has been prepared for receiving the applications. So January 1, 2022 onwards, we will start receiving the applications.”

Key objectives include setting up at least two greenfield semiconductor fabs and two display fabs to be able to compete with other bases in Asia and reduce India’s import dependencies.

The new scheme is expected to provide impetus to semiconductor and display manufacturing by facilitating capital support and technological collaborations. Under the new scheme, the government has lined up incentive support for companies engaged in silicon semiconductor fabs, display fabs, compound semiconductors, silicon photonics, sensors fabs, semiconductor packaging and semiconductor design.
