Now Chinese firms eyeing entry into Semicon India 2026
Surging component imports drawing Chinese companies to Indian govt's flagship event
Chinese firms are now considering participation in Semicon India 2026, the country's premier chip-industry summit, according to industry sources. This marks the first possible entry of Chinese companies into the event, which focuses on the entire chip value chain. The official responsible for the summit stated that Chinese suppliers are showing interest due to the rapid expansion of electronic component and mobile phone manufacturing in India.
Semicon India 2026 will take place in Delhi from September 17-19, coinciding with Chinese President Xi Jinping's first visit to India in seven years following the BRICS Summit. A 400-person delegation is expected to accompany Xi during his visit. While Chinese businesses are unlikely to serve as exhibitors, officials confirmed that functionaries may attend as trade delegates.
The Indian government aims to reduce its dependence on China, yet the surge in demand for raw components due to India's booming electronics sector has necessitated increased imports from China.
