India seeks second commercial chip fab under Semicon 2.0

India's IT ministry is inviting global technology companies to build a second commercial silicon chip fabrication plant under its Semicon 2.0 programme, with a target for operation by 2031. The programme offers up to 40% cash incentives for a 12-inch-wafer facility, while applicants must commit at least ₹20,000 crore, or about $2.1 billion, of their own capital and meet revenue and technology requirements. The broader ₹1.28 trillion programme also covers display manufacturing, compound semiconductors, raw materials and chip-design support.
