First made in india chip: India, taking historical steps in the semiconductor sector, introduced its first completely indigenous 32-bit microprocessor “Vikram”. At the Semicon India 2025 conference, Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnav presented this processor to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Test chips of four approved projects were also displayed on the occasion.

This processor prepared by ISRO semiconductor laboratory will prove to be helpful in the harsh conditions of spacecraft and launch vehicle. According to Union Minister Vaishnav, this achievement is a big success in the direction of India, where the country is now reducing dependence on foreign chips and is moving towards technical self -sufficiency.

India’s chip ecosystem is moving fast

First ‘made in India’ chips!
A moment of pride for any nation. Today, Bharat has achieved it.

This Significant Milestone was Made Possible By Our Hon’ble PM @narendramodi Ji’s far-sighted vision, strong will and decisive action. pic.twitter.com/ao2yeoakcv

Vaishnav further informed that at present, the construction work of five semiconductor units is going on in the country, one of which has been completed by the pilot line. Two more units will start production in the coming months. Apart from this, the design process of five new units is also in progress.

He said that all global partners for chip manufacturing are present in India.

The result of Prime Minister Modi’s vision

Vaishnav said that the credit for this mission goes to Prime Minister Modi’s vision. Just 3.5 years ago we started the India Semiconductor Mission. Today the world is looking at India with confidence. Five units are working fast and today the first ‘Made-in-India’ chip has been assigned to PM Modi.

India became a reliable center in global instability

Addressing the investors, Vaishnav said that when the whole world is struggling with policy instability and uncertainty, India remains a light of stability and development at that time. He also informed that in the last decade, India’s electronics production has increased by six times and exports eight times. India is the most suitable place for investment due to increasing domestic demand and stable policies.

India towards becoming a global semiconductor hub

The Vikram processor is just the beginning of India’s semiconductor ambition. According to the Bastion Research report, about 20% of the world’s chip design engineers are in India. This is the reason that India is already an important part of the global chip design. Legendary companies like Qualcomm, Intel, Envidia, Broadcom and MediaTek have established their big R&D and design centers in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Noida, which further strengthened India’s role in global chip ecosystem.

A big step towards self -reliant India

The Government of India started the Semicon India Program in 2021 under which an incentive amount of about Rs 76,000 crore is being given to attract global manufacturers. The launch of the Vikram processor and the new semiconductor projects show that India is not only moving towards technical self -reliance, but is also leading towards becoming the center of global chip construction and design in the coming times.
