You should kiss the ground under your feet if India makes 28nm chips. 50% of the market are for chips made on mature nodes which are used in consumer electronics like washing machines, micro-ovens, toasters, automobiles and in many industries. Let's capture that market first then think about others. Mind you if you would have a bought a PC 10 years ago with the configuration 8GB RAM, 500GB Hard disk, Quad core processor, even in 2024 that PC would be more than enough for general use.
So if we get to 7nm very late in the game that's completely fine, we can still play around with CPU designs. Right now the focus should be on 28nm node popping out 40,000 wafers per month. That should be the goal. This will catapult India to different orbit in electronic manufacturing. Other than China, other competitors like Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia neither have a fab nor or they are trying to have one anytime soon. Most of the semiconductor companies have huge presence and they have design teams in India as well. This will give us a massive advantage once our fabs are up and running.
