Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw opened ARM's semiconductor design facility in Bengaluru this week, marking India's entry into 2-nanometer chip technology development. Engineers will create the country's first 2nm processor designs for artificial intelligence applications, mobile devices, and high-performance computing systems. These advanced semiconductors offer increased processing power within smaller spaces while consuming less energy than previous generations.
The technology holds strategic value for national defense, space missions, and security operations. India's Semiconductor Mission has approved ten projects spanning six states with total investments reaching Rs 1.6 lakh crore. The government allocated Rs 76,000 crore to strengthen the semiconductor ecosystem across the nation.
Earlier this year, Vaishnaw launched 3-nanometer design centers in Noida and Bengaluru, advancing from previous 7nm and 5nm capabilities. Twenty-three chip design projects received approval under the Design Linked Incentive program. Global semiconductor markets may reach $1 trillion by 2030, while domestic demand could achieve $100-110 billion during the same period.
