India’s semiconductor mission paves way for digital sovereignty: Experts

India’s semiconductor mission paves way for digital sovereignty and will take the country towards self-sufficiency in chips that have use in a wide array of applications, including CCTV cameras, mobile networks, satellites, cars, and smart devices, experts have said.

They said that the central government’s initiative lays the groundwork for India to become self-reliant across the entire digital technology stack — from chip manufacturing to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud applications. All mission-critical digital infrastructure, whether related to artificial intelligence or cloud computing — fundamentally depends on semiconductor chips.
