India has recorded a major breakthrough in its semiconductor targets, with a telecom system powered by locally manufactured chips receiving the government’s Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC) certification.

This was shared by Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, in a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), on September 6, where he called the development a “big leap for India’s semiconductor story!” and noted that this ‘Made in India’ chip has cleared the TEC’s standards and quality checks.
