India-US semiconductor partnership breaks ground on National Security and Technology front

In a landmark achievement for India’s semiconductor industry and national security infrastructure, US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have announced a strategic partnership to establish India’s first-ever national security semiconductor fabrication plant.

The initiative is hailed as a watershed moment for the country’s ambitions to evolve from a “chip taker” to a “chip maker,” with significant implications for both nations. The fabrication plant, known as the Bharat Semi Fab, will focus on cutting-edge semiconductor technologies for national security and other critical sectors.
