ONO Keiichi, Ambassador of Japan shared in a X post where he joined JCCII Semiconductor Committee meeting on June 23, 2025, in India. The post highlights the 6th JCCII Semiconductor Committee meeting on June 23, 2025, in India, involving over 100 Japanese businesses, reflecting a strategic push under the 2023 India-Japan Semiconductor Supply Chain Partnership to diversify global semiconductor production amid U.S.-China tech tensions.
Presentations from Assam, Tata Electronics, and IIT Gandhinagar signal India’s emerging role in the sector, with Tata’s Rs 91,000 crore fab project in Gujarat (set to start by 2026) and IIT’s advanced semiconductor research facilities enhancing bilateral industrial ties.
The ambassador’s visit to a Tata semiconductor site with Japanese firms underscores a practical collaboration, supported by data from the India-Japan Industrial Competitiveness Partnership, aiming to counter supply chain vulnerabilities exposed by the 2020-2022 chip shortage, which saw a 17.7% global production drop per SIA reports.
