Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds a semiconductor roundtable with top technology and chip-industry CEOs in New Delhi and urges them to participate in India’s next phase of semiconductor growth. According to a PMO statement cited by multiple outlets, Modi stresses close government–industry collaboration to shape India’s technology future.
At the meeting, Modi highlights India’s existing strengths in talent, technology adoption and infrastructure, and calls for greater industry involvement in areas such as skilling and innovation. He also points to emerging technologies, including AI and quantum computing, and references India’s ambition to train a large number of people in AI. Modi signals support for a “predictable and responsive” policy environment, and invites companies to share suggestions on policy and administrative measures as technology evolves. One outlet also notes that India’s semiconductor ecosystem is moving from foundational efforts toward larger scale.
The CEOs in attendance express confidence in the opportunities created by India’s semiconductor initiatives and say recent progress has built a base for broader participation across the value chain. The reports differ mainly in emphasis and detail, but all describe the roundtable, Modi’s calls for industry engagement, and the stated government policy focus.
