Vaishnaw cautions industry about cyberattacks, disruption that may target India's growing chip might
India's chip push marks a bold attempt to move beyond packaging and build a broader domestic supply chain, while attracting global companies to manufacture and develop semiconductor technologies in India
Minister for Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw has cautioned the semiconductor industry about potential cyberattacks and other disruptions that may target India's growing chip manufacturing capabilities. In an interview, Vaishnaw warned that India's emergence as a country capable of designing and manufacturing chips could be seen as a threat by established global players in the chip value chain.
He emphasized the need for the industry to remain vigilant and prepared for potential risks. The government has been actively expanding the semiconductor ecosystem, with the Union Cabinet approving Semicon 2.0, a ₹1,27,500 crore program, to support chip design, equipment, materials, fabrication, and research. Large investment commitments have been made in the sector, with several global companies announcing significant investments in India.
