Forget just making phones; this is about powering fighter jets, EVs, and AI; all with Indian-made silicon. The catch? It’s not just about fabs anymore. ISM 2.0 is quietly subsidizing the tiny players; gas suppliers, chemical makers, packaging tech; the unsung heroes behind every chip. Why? Because you can’t build a semiconductor empire without the supply chain to back it. And with global tensions rising, this isn’t just economics; it’s national security. The real story? India’s aiming to design and make 75% of its own chips by 2029. If it works, this could be the quiet revolution that reshapes India’s tech footprint forever.
