India’s semiconductor push faces key manufacturing gap despite design strength, says report

With India’s semiconductor ambitions scaling up, a new report has highlighted key gaps in the Indian ecosystem, noting that design-led growth alone won’t translate into large-scale manufacturing.

The ‘India’s Semiconductor Moment: Perspectives from DEMO’ report by Endiya Partners, an early-stage deeptech venture capital (VC) firm, stated that execution challenges included the absence of operational advanced-node fabs, a nascent Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) infrastructure, and a projected shortage of 10,000-13,000…
