Why it is critical to make semiconductors in India

Hindustan Times  

ENIAC, the world’s first programmable general-purpose computer, introduced in 1945, weighed an astounding 30 tonnes. Taiwan, seen by many military and geopolitical analysts to be a future theatre of great power conflict, accounts for over half the global chip supply and over 90% of the market share for the most advanced chips. The US is working on its own Chips Act to boost domestic manufacturing, and has convinced Taiwan’s Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to build a $12 billion facility in Arizona, aiming to produce cutting edge 5 nanometre chips by 2024. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government also had earlier envisioned, and cleared two consortiums for setting up indigenous chip manufacturing units. India does have a strong foundation required to create these, with most of the global chip companies already having their research and development innovation centres here, and with the country contributing over 20% of the world’s chip design engineers.
