NextFin news, India's first domestically produced semiconductor chip was launched on Friday, August 29, 2025, at CG Power Semiconductor's facility in Sanand, Gujarat. This event marks a significant step in India's efforts to build a robust domestic semiconductor ecosystem.
The chip was developed and produced by CG Power Semiconductor, a key player in India's semiconductor industry, supported by government initiatives that have approved investments totaling ₹1.6 trillion across 10 projects to boost local chip manufacturing.
The launch aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision announced earlier this month to achieve self-reliance in science and technology. Modi had stated that India aims to launch its maiden Made-in-India semiconductor chip by the end of 2025 and expand exports of electric vehicles to 100 countries.
The pilot rollout of the chip is part of a broader government strategy to reduce dependency on imports and strengthen India's position in the global semiconductor supply chain. The facility in Sanand, Gujarat, is equipped with advanced technology to support the production and testing of semiconductor chips.
According to a report by Mint published on August 29, 2025, the government’s investment and policy support have been crucial in enabling companies like CG Power Semiconductor to develop indigenous chip manufacturing capabilities.
This development is expected to catalyze growth in India's electronics manufacturing sector and contribute to the country's technological and economic advancement.
