The showcase highlights Assam’s growing role in high-tech innovation, aligning with India’s push for self-reliance in the semiconductor sector.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his inaugural address at Semicon India 2025, emphasized the importance of building a robust ecosystem for semiconductors. He said the government is working on the next phase of the India Semiconductor Mission and the Design-Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme. Modi also underlined the significance of critical minerals, announcing that India has initiated work on a Critical Minerals Mission to meet rising global demand.

“We are working on the next phase of the India Semiconductor Mission,” Modi said, stressing the country’s commitment to scaling up semiconductor manufacturing and design capabilities.

Semicon India 2025, being held from September 2–4, brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators from across the world. The three-day conference focuses on creating a resilient and sustainable semiconductor ecosystem, with sessions covering semiconductor fabs, advanced packaging, smart manufacturing, R&D, artificial intelligence, investment opportunities, and state-level policy implementation.

The event will also showcase the growth of India’s startup ecosystem, international collaborations, and future roadmaps for the sector, alongside highlighting initiatives under the DLI scheme.

This year’s edition has drawn more than 20,750 participants, including over 2,500 delegates from 48 countries, 150 speakers with over 50 global leaders, and more than 350 exhibitors.
