Semiconductors are at the heart of all electronic products and constitute a significant share in the Bill of Material (BOM). The National Policy on Electronics 2019 aims to position India as a global hub for Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) and envisions creation of a vibrant semiconductor chip design ecosystem in the country. With an exceptional talent pool of 20% of world's semiconductor design engineers and thousands of chips designed by them every year in the country, India is poised for growth to achieve self-reliance and technology leadership in semiconductor design sector.
Ministry of Electronics and Information technology (MeitY) has announced the SemiconIndia:FutureDesign Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme to offset the disabilities in the domestic industry involved in semiconductor design in order to not only move up in value-chain but also strengthen the semiconductor chip design ecosystem in the country. CDAC is responsible for implementation of the DLI Scheme as Nodal Agency. The details of DLI Scheme are at https://chips-dli.gov.in/DLI
About the SemiconIndia:FutureDesign Roadshows under the DLI Scheme
A series of roadshows are being organized by MeitY across the country aiming to:
1. Stimulate the next-gen Semiconductor Designers
2. Promote the culture of Co-development and joint ownership of IPs with active industry participation
3.Indigenously Develop Semiconductor Chips for Automobile, Mobility, Communication & Computing.
