5 – India is investing “heavily” in skilling and training young Indians for the needs of the 21st century. “We have an exceptional semiconductor design talent pool which makes up to 20 per cent of the world’s semiconductor design engineers,” PM Modi said, adding that almost all of the top 25 semiconductor design companies have their design or R&D centres in India
6 – India has undertaken several measures towards transforming the Indian manufacturing sector. “At a time when humanity was fighting a once in a century pandemic, India was not only improving the health of our people but also the health of our economy” PM said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also talked about “Production Linked Incentives” schemes that offer incentives of over 26 Billion Dollars in 14 key sectors. Over the next five years, the electronics manufacturing sector is expected to see record growth, he informed.
PM Modi also informed the audience about the recently announced Semi-con India Programme with a total outlay of over 10 billion dollars. The program aims to provide financial support to companies investing in semiconductors, display manufacturing and design ecosystems.
