Bhubaneswar, September 24, 2026: India’s semiconductor journey has entered a new phase, with Semicon 2.0 providing the policy architecture and SEMICON India 2026 demonstrating the growing industrial and commercial momentum behind it. The fifth edition of SEMICON India, held from September 17–19 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, brought together the global and Indian semiconductor ecosystem at unprecedented scale, recording 51,656 registrations, around 40,000 cumulative visitors, 600+ exhibitors, around 300 international companies, participation from 52 countries, 54 MoUs and strategic announcements, more than 5,000 B2B discussions and around US$7 billion in investment commitments and India’s semiconductor market projection of $200 billion by 2035, according to EY–IESA report, “Semicon India 2.0: From capacity creation to ecosystem leadership”.
The event demonstrated that India’s semiconductor story is moving decisively from policy to projects, from projects to production, and from individual investments to an integrated ecosystem. The Government has simultaneously moved into the next phase through Semicon 2.0, with an outlay of ₹1,27,500 crore, focused on design, machines and materials, fabs, advanced packaging, R&D and talent.
Commenting on SEMICON India 2026, Ashok Chandak, President, SEMI India and IESA, said: “SEMICON India 2026 has demonstrated that India is moving from credibility to capability. Semicon 1.0 created the foundation; Semicon 2.0 is now deepening the ecosystem. What we witnessed over these three days is policy continuity meeting industrial commitment, global confidence meeting Indian capability, and investment beginning to translate into manufacturing, partnerships and commercialisation.
