Semicon, India Mobile Congress, electronics summit together? ISM CEO pitches mega gathering
The proposal is to bring the events together in the same city and around the same location, while allowing each to retain its own identity.
India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) CEO Amitesh Kumar Sinha proposed the idea of merging three major events - Semicon India, Bharat Electronics Manufacturing and Export Summit, and India Mobile Congress - into a single event during a panel discussion at Semicon India 2026. Sinha suggested bringing these events together in the same city and around the same time, allowing participants to connect between them and better understand the relationships between semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, and telecom.
Sinha emphasized that the events would retain their individual identities, but the consolidation could make participation easier for companies and foster closer collaboration among different sectors of the industry. He highlighted the importance of timing, particularly for global participants, to ensure they could fully engage in the event.
The proposal received support from industry association leaders on the panel, including representatives from SEMI, ICEA, ELCINA, and MAIT. They see the push for greater coordination as part of a broader effort by India to connect semiconductor manufacturing more closely with electronics, components, telecom, and exports.
For now, Sinha's idea remains a proposal, not yet a formally announced plan.
