India & US partner to establish semiconductor fabrication unit for national security needs
fabrication unit to be set up in India as a result of the agreement between New Delhi and Washington during PM Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the US will roll out chips that will cater to the national security needs of the two countries.
As per a TOI report, the new plant, likely to come up in Uttar Pradesh’s Jewar, near the upcoming international airport, will supply advanced chips to the US armed forces, allied militaries and Indian defence forces.
The cutting-edge semiconductor plant will produce chips for advanced warfare technologies, including night vision devices, missile-seekers, space sensors, drones, fighter jets, electric vehicles, military communications, radars and jammers, says the report.
The plant will include a testing center, a centre of excellence, a design hub and two fabrication units. This initiative is part of growing India-US cooperation under the Indo-Pacific Economic Corridor (ICET) and the CHIPS Act, aimed at strengthening semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
Addressing the diaspora in New York after the key US pact, Modi indirectly referred to the semiconductor unit agreement as he said: “The day is not far when you will see made-in-India chips in America. This small thing will take India to another level. And this is Modi's guarantee.”
