The Ministry of Electronics and IT has released a roadmap for indigenous System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions during Semicon India 2025. The roadmap includes applications in broadband, surveillance, smart energy meters, motor control, and space.
A key element is the development of a RISC-V based SoC generator platform, advancing chip design automation. This effort is supported by the Design Linked Incentive Scheme, under which 23 chip-design projects have been sanctioned and 72 companies have gained access to industry-grade Electronic Design Automation tools.
The initiative is intended to strengthen India’s role as a full-stack semiconductor nation, support domestic innovation, and expand opportunities for startups and industry partners.
Relevant Question for Policy Stakeholders: How can India ensure rapid commercialization of this platform via startups while securing its competitive edge in domestic and global semiconductor supply chains?
