Ashwini Vaishnaw cautions industry about cyberattacks, disruption targetting India's growing chip might
The minister for electronics and IT said he has cautioned the industry to keep a constant vigil as India is now emerging as a country that has the capability to design and manufacture chips.
Minister for Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, has warned the Indian semiconductor industry about potential cyberattacks and disruptions from countries opposed to the country's growing presence in the global chip value chain. In an interview, Vaishnaw emphasized that India's capability to design and manufacture chips could be seen as a threat by established interests.
He urged the industry to remain vigilant and prepared for such risks. The government has launched the Semicon 2.0 program, with a budget of Rs 1,27,500 crore, to support chip design, equipment, materials, fabrication, and research and development. India's push in the semiconductor sector aims to build a larger domestic supply chain and attract global companies for manufacturing and developing semiconductor technologies.
