Funds should be given to significantly boost domestic PCB and PCB component manufacturing + design. Also extra funds to kick start domestic SMT machine manufacturing (the machine used to fabricate PCBs). AFAIK there are 0 indian companies in this field. All of them are either importing straight or rebadging import as their own.

'India will soon make equipment for semiconductor manufacturing'

Synopsis
Union telecom and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that India will start manufacturing equipment for semiconductor manufacturing. Applied Materials' India Validation Centre, an investment of $20 million, will have a workforce of 500 people and is the first private facility in India for processing 300 mm wafers.

India will soon start making equipment for semiconductor manufacturing, Union telecom and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Saturday.

"The entire semiconductor ecosystem of fabs, ATMP units, chemicals, gases, substrate, consumables and equipment for semiconductor manufacturing will be made in India," he said.

He was speaking at the inauguration of American chip equipment supplier Applied Materials' India Validation Centre in Bengaluru which was set up at a cost of $20 million.

Such labs are present in the US, Singapore, China and Korea. The India Validation Centre will have a workforce of 500 people.

The company last year announced that it will set up an engineering centre in Bengaluru with a total investment of $400 million over four years to develop and commercialise technologies for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Vaishnaw said that the components that were earlier imported from Japan, Korea and Taiwan are being made by the company here now.

"Today, all the four agreements made during the Prime Minister's state visit to the US have been materialised," Vaishnaw said.

The construction of Micron's ATMP has commenced. In addition, LAM Research's proposal to deliver a virtual nano fabrication environment through its Semiverse Solutions to train semiconductor engineers in India has also started.

"The first training course in the Indian Institute of Science has started with 35 students," the minister said. The third agreement was in relation to a centre of Applied Materials to be set up in India, he said. "This has also fructified with a centre of the company being set up here," he said.

A design centre of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) was also to be set up in India. "A few months back, I inaugurated the design centre of AMD in Bengaluru," Vaishnaw said.

A first for 300 mm wafer processing

Sonny Kunnakkat, managing director, Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Worldwide Operations, Applied Materials, told ET that this is the first private facility in India that will process 300 mm wafers.

So far, 200 mm wafers have been processed in India.

"We used to have a 300 mm processing facility in the Indian Institute of Technology but that was academic. This is a commercial one. We will do our own development work. The wafers that we make are not sold as we are an equipment company and not a chip company. Our equipment here will go to our customers to make their chips," Kunnakkat said.

The change rate of the equipment is very fast, he said. Equipment and components must be continuously developed with evolving customer challenges. "That is the kind of development that will be done here," he said.

This is a massive positive step if it materializes, Assam is primary NE core and having a high tech industry there will revitalize all other NE states and spawn major development if done correctly. Assam got a good working CM with brains and balls. Good news hopefully no interruptions

Hope local assamese with their high horse axomiya pride won't fuck it up by danda and shit due to it being manpower intensive and locals alone can't fulfill majority demand.

When CM is competent and focussed and has goals like YA, then he will make it happen. Why can't locals make it happen? With training, it does not necessarily require any special skills barring engineers and managers possibly. Floor workers are technical but don't need a college degree.

We had to attend as per directive from college, all M.Tech and PhD were required to see the speech. It was good, felt little bit of chunav prachar mixed with original content. I am excited for semiconductor industries in India, once it's made here we will be called manufacturer for real.

Perhaps some british dudes laughed . But overall they were grateful as the TATA steel plant was vital during both world wars.
