SEMI President: India needs a wider range of suppliers to succeed in the chip field
“India has to really increase its focus on the ecosystem because without it, growth is limited,” Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of trade group SEMI, said in an interview on May 30. “Small and medium-sized companies need to be encouraged to come to India.” Governments around the world are investing heavily to build up their own domestic semiconductor supply, which is the basis for everything from smartphones to artificial intelligence (AI). India still has a long way to go in the semiconductor industry, given the advantages of countries such as the United States, China and even Malaysia. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set up a $10 billion fund to attract global chipmakers such as TSMC, a major chip supplier to companies such as Apple and Nvidia.
