Delhi Drafts Semiconductor Policy Focused on Design, R&D and Packaging

The plan seeks to pull design work and packaging to Delhi without building billion-dollar fabs.

Overview

  • Delhi officials said Sunday they have begun drafting a 'Delhi Semiconductor Policy' to build a hub for chip design, research and advanced packaging.
  • Leaders outlined five pillars covering design and IP, research and innovation, assembly and testing known as ATMP and OSAT, talent development, and a stronger startup base.
  • The strategy avoids costly chip fabrication and targets less capital-intensive segments such as design, R&D and advanced packaging.
  • The government expects high-skill jobs in chip design and packaging, backed by training, internships and partnerships between industry and universities.
  • Officials said the draft will align with the India Semiconductor Mission to attract fabless firms and packaging units through a mix of financial and non-financial incentives under consideration.
