The new policy aligns with Atmanirbhar Bharat and aims to develop a comprehensive semiconductor ecosystem in New Delhi, focusing on design, R&D, and industry development.

It offers a mix of financial and non-financial incentives, including capital support, infrastructure facilitation, easier business processes, and measures to back ATMP and OSAT units and related testing and input sectors.

Employment potential is highlighted through high-quality roles in chip design, semiconductor research, and advanced packaging, complemented by skill development via training, internships, and industry-academia partnerships.

The policy briefing draws on statements from the Delhi Chief Minister and cites a reporter from The Indian Express as the author of the article.

During the 2026-27 budget, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced the policy and allocated ₹1 crore to support its rollout.

The information comes from a statement issued by the Chief Minister’s office and emphasizes the policy’s potential to boost employment and the local economy.

Currently, India has 10 approved semiconductor projects spread across six states.

The reporting notes that the government has been pursuing an IT policy in parallel with the semiconductor policy.

India aims to meet 70-75% of its domestic chip demand by 2029 and to build advanced manufacturing capabilities over the next decade.

The policy is framed within a broader discussion of global chip dependence, supply chain risks, and the push to develop domestic semiconductor ecosystems.

India’s national framework includes the India Semiconductor Mission with a $10 billion outlay starting in 2021, plus ISM 2.0 to strengthen equipment, full-stack IP, and supply chains, with several states already offering incentives.

Finalisation of the policy will come after consultations with industry stakeholders, experts, and academic institutions in the coming months.
