Indian semiconductor market may grow over two-fold to Rs 9.6 lakh crore by 2030
The Indian semiconductor market was about $45-50 billion in 2024-2025 against $38 billion in 2023, the statement said, citing industry estimates.
"As per industry estimates, the size of the Indian semiconductor market was about $38 billion in 2023, $45-50 billion in 2024-2025 and is expected to reach $100-110 billion by 2030," the statement said. A detailed statement highlighting the need for semiconductors, efforts of the government and response from the industry cited the crisis faced by various technology segments especially by the automobile industry due to dependency on select geographies during the Covid pandemic and stressed on the need for developing India as trusted partner in the global supply chain. "Currently, countries like Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, China and US dominate the semiconductor industry. Taiwan produces more than 60% of the world's semiconductors, including nearly 90% of the most advanced ones. "Such dependence on a single region has exposed global supply chains to significant risks - from pandemics and natural disasters to geopolitical tensions. Recognizing this challenge, many countries are now building secure and diversified supply chains," the statement said. The United States, European Union, Japan, and South Korea have launched national strategies to support domestic chip manufacturing and reduce over-reliance on a single region. "India is emerging as an important and trusted partner in this global shift," the statement said. The global semiconductor market is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, with India's market occupying a substantial portion of it. India has the capacity to emerge as a key contributor to the three primary pillars of the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain - equipment, materials and services and R&D. It stated that India can leverage a strong base of MSMEs to produce components for semiconductor equipment and it has a rich source of chemicals, minerals and gases which can be utilised by semiconductor supply chain companies. Services R&D, logistics and supply chain, major talent in AI, big data, cloud computing and IoT are major strengths, the statement said.
The government has already launched India Semiconductor Mission in December 2021 with an outlay of Rs 76,000 crore to provide financial support for investments in semiconductor fabrication, display manufacturing & chip design to strengthen India's integration into global electronics value chains. Industry players including US memory chip maker Micron, Tata Electronics (TEPL) in partnership with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (PSMC) of Taiwan, CG Power & Industrial Pvt Ltd in partnership with Renesas & Stars, Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt Ltd (TSAT), Kaynes Semicon, HCL-Foxconn JV have committed a total investment of over Rs 1.55 lakh crore to produce semiconductors in India. The government under the ISM has made a Rs 1000 crore provision for Design Linked Incentive for chip design out of which it has committed Rs 234 crore financial support for eligible start-ups. "The government had committed the support of Rs 234 crore for the chip design projects from 22 companies with a total project cost of Rs 690 crore. These chips will be used in CCTV cameras, mobile networks, satellites, cars, smart devices, etc. The government under its vision for semiconductor ecosystem development supports Semicon India which is a flagship event organised in partnership with SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International). The platform brings together global industry leaders, policymakers, academia, and startups to foster investment, dialogue, and strategic partnerships.
"The 4th edition is to be held in Delhi from September 2-4th, 2025. Semicon India 2025 co-hosted by India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and SEMI will be held from September 2-4, 2025, at Yashobhoomi (IICC), New Delhi. It is set to display India's redefining role in the global semiconductor ecosystem," the statement said. Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.

Nepal, China steel may face duty evasion probe
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence may investigate steel imports from Nepal and China. This action aims to shield the Indian steel industry from substandard products. Nepal has become a major steel exporter to India. Concerns arise about Chinese steel being routed through Nepal. Some Chinese companies are allegedly falsifying quality compliance documents. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence could initiate a probe into steel imports from Nepal and China, a move aimed at protecting the domestic industry from cheap, substandard imports, said people familiar with the comes after Nepal emerged as one of the top three steel exporters to India despite the absence of significant manufacturing facilities, they said."In some instances, a Nepal-based company was exporting steel many times over its nameplate capacity," an official told ET on condition of triggered apprehensions of Chinese steel being routed through Nepal, as alleged by the Indian has unilateral duty-free access to the Indian market, allowing its exporters to send steel products to India without paying any duty. On the contrary, direct exports from China attract at least 12% safeguard share in India's finished steel imports during the first three months of this financial year averaged 15.93%, making the neighbouring country the third largest steel exporter to India during this another instance, China's Shangyang Steel wrote to India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade alleging that other Chinese companies were falsifying documents affirming quality compliance. Shangyang Steel holds a certificate issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)."The company alleged that other Chinese companies were misrepresenting the BIS certificate issued to Shangyang Steel and lying while exporting to India," the official month, the steel ministry issued a clarification saying that not only are finished and semi-finished steel imports required to adhere to quality control orders (QCOs) but also the raw material used as input needs to comply with the quality also found that some Indian importers with a BIS certificate were importing substandard steel products from China or Nepal and doing just cosmetic value addition to them."The QCO norms require importers not only to comply with the coating part for which it has certification, but also to ensure that the base material also sticks to quality norms," the official said.A BIS certificate is enforced through QCO, which the government order mainly affects the traders who act as middlemen in importing steel without adding any value to the steel. "MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises) are not affected by this order; it hurts the middle parties, and they are the ones who are creating a furore over this," the official added.

Kisan Credit Card accounts in PSBs down 1.8% to 22.5 million in FY25
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her budget for FY26 increased the loan limit for farmers holding KCC to Rs 5 lakh from Rs 3 lakh earlier New Delhi Listen to This Article The number of Kisan Credit Card (KCC) accounts in public sector banks fell by 1.8 per cent year-on-year to 22.5 million in FY25, even as the outstanding loan amount grew by a marginal 2.2 per cent growth to ₹41,300 crore during the period, a senior government official said on the condition of anonymity. The decline in active KCC accounts reflects multiple structural shifts in rural lending, the official said. 'Farmers' incomes have improved over the years, with many moving out of farming, while in some states they increasingly prefer co-operative banks, NBFCs or input-linked credit like fertilier cards, reducing drawdowns
