India’s Biggest Semiconductor Event to be held
in Yashobhoomi, New Delhi from 17th – 19th
September 2026
SEMICON India 2026 - Silicon to Systems: Building the
Ecosystem
प्रव तथ: 18 AUG 2026 3:47PM by PIB Delhi
The fifth edition of SEMICON India will be officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi
on 17th September 2026 at Yashobhoomi (India International Convention and Expo Centre), New Delhi.
Marking another significant milestone in India’s semiconductor journey, SEMICON India 2026 will bring
together key stakeholders from across the global semiconductor ecosystem, leaders from government and
industry, industry experts, academia, government officials and students.
India’s semiconductor journey has been gaining significant momentum under India Semiconductor
Mission (ISM) through the Semicon India Programme. Twelve (12) projects approved under the
Semicon 1.0, aimed at building a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem in the country. Further, the
Union Cabinet has approved the next phase i.e. Semicon 2.0, to accelerate the development of a robust
and resilient semiconductor ecosystem in India.Recognising semiconductors as a foundational industry, the Government is also supporting research,
innovation and design by providing state-of-the-art design tools to more than 332 academic institutes and
105 start-ups. In addition, 24 start-ups have been approved under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI)
scheme, enabling Indian innovators to work on critical applications. These initiatives are contributing to
the development of a robust and holistic semiconductor ecosystem in the country, aligned with the vision
of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Accelerating the momentum of advancement in India’s semiconductor sector, India Semiconductor
Mission (ISM), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and SEMI, the global
industry association prompting the semiconductor industry has announced the programming for
SEMICON India 2026 at a press conference held in New Delhi today.
SEMICON India 2026: 5th Edition of SEMICON India Conference and Exhibition, themed “Silicon to

Shri S. Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), said: “The
Government of India has given clear indication towards the importance and significance of the
Semiconductor Sector with its progressive policies and extended support. The sense of participation
around the SEMICON India Conference and Exhibition has grown significantly each year. This year it is
particularly significant for two reasons. Firstly, we are convening this event against the backdrop of the
on-ground success of Semicon India Programme, with 03 of the 12 semiconductor projects approved
under Semicon 1.0, having commenced commercial production. Secondly, the announcement of the next
phase i.e. Semicon 2.0 with 06 major pillars, which further strengthens India’s commitment to build a
robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem.”
Mr. Ajit Manocha, President & CEO, SEMI, said: “SEMI has empowered the rise of semiconductor hubs
around the world for more than five decades, and India is well positioned to thrive with its blend of speed,
ambition, talent and long-term vision. Through SEMICON India 2026, SEMI brings the collective
strength of its global network to India’s journey. India’s opportunity is not simply to join the global supply
chain, but to become integral to it. That is the ambition SEMICON India 2026 exists to accelerate.”
Shri Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Additional Secretary, MeitY & CEO, ISM, said: “SEMICON India 2026 is an
opportunity to bring together representatives from countries and companies across the world, Indian
companies that have been approved to set up manufacturing in India, and companies exploring
opportunities in the country. It also brings together leaders and policymakers from the Central and State
Government, along with supply-chain partners looking to support semiconductor design and
manufacturing in India. Additionally, the global semiconductor requirement is expected to increase from
around $1 trillion to $2 trillion, while India’s semiconductor requirement is also expected to grow from
around $100 billion to $200 billion. Also, the conference will cover a wide range of themes across the
semiconductor and electronics ecosystem including a dedicated session on ‘Women Empowerment &
Leadership’.
Mr. Ashok Chandak, President, SEMI India & IESA, said: “SEMICON India 2026, with its theme 'Silicon
to Systems – Building the Ecosystem,' reflects India's evolution towards creating a comprehensive and
globally competitive semiconductor value chain. The remarkable global and Indian corporate interest in
this year's event is a testament to the confidence that industry leaders place in India's semiconductor
journey. SEMICON India has become the annual convergence point where industry leaders, policymakers,
researchers, startups and investors come together, collaborations take shape, partnerships are forged, and
the next phase of India's semiconductor growth is accelerated. The introduction of the new 'Sand to Silicon
to Systems' Value Chain Experience this year demonstrates how India is progressing from building
