NITI Aayog’s Frontier Tech Hub has unveiled “Future of India’s Semiconductor Industry”, a 10-year roadmap. The roadmap outlines India’s vision for strengthening its position across the global semiconductor value chain.
Nirmala Sitharaman, Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, and Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting and Electronics & Information Technology, launched the roadmap on May 29, 2026, in the presence of Ashok Lahiri, Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog. The roadmap charts India’s next phase of semiconductor growth and leadership.
The announcement states that leadership in frontier technologies is not built in short cycles and calls for long-term planning, sustained capability development and the foresight to invest ahead of demand. The roadmap outlines that path for the semiconductor value chain.
As India moves from ecosystem creation to ecosystem deepening, the roadmap sets out a vision of building a USD 120–150 billion semiconductor ecosystem by 2035. It identifies key priorities and emerging opportunities across the semiconductor value chain.
The full roadmap is available on the NITI Aayog Frontier Tech Hub website.
Vice Chairman Ashok Kumar Lahiri noted: “One of the biggest strategic risks to Viksit Bharat is a growing dependence on imported black-box technologies. For India to become a developed nation, technological sovereignty is foundational. And that sovereignty must begin at the infrastructure layer. Semiconductors sit at the heart of this foundation, powering everything from Al, defence and manufacturing to mobility, energy systems, communications and citizen services.”
