Minister of Communications, IT, and Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw expressed optimism about India's potential to become one of the top seven semiconductor manufacturers globally within the next five to six years. He highlighted the rapid development in the semiconductor industry in India and cited the extension of fiscal support to several projects, including those by Micron, Tata Electronics, and CG Power, in partnership with Renesas.
