Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday (24 February) announced the launch of the ChipIN centre at C-DAC Bengaluru.
The facility will act as one stop centre to provide semiconductor design tools, fab access, virtual prototyping hardware lab access to fabless chip designers of the country.
Chandrasekhar made the announcement on Friday after launching the second Semicon India FutureDESIGN Roadshow at IISc in Bengaluru.
The Roadshow aims to encourage startups, next-generation innovators, and business leaders to invest in semiconductor sector in India.
Speaking on the occasion, the minister said that India is growing rapidly in global electronics value chains and rapid growth of digitalisation, along with country's high-growth digital and innovation economy, has created opportunities in the new world order of semiconductor and electronics.
He spoke about three trends that are currently visible, "First, there has been an acceleration in digitalisation and governments around the world are digitising rapidly. Secondly, we are at an inflection point, and third, for the world, New India is becoming a trusted partner in terms of delivering talent, global products, digital products and services".
Outlining some of the initiatives that the Government has taken to support the semiconductor innovation ecosystem in India, Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that the India Semiconductor Research Centre (ISRC) which will be a private, industry led research centre will soon be launched and the semiconductor laboratory is being modernised and pivoted into research fab and will be co-located with the ISRC.
In addition, the Government plans to introduce an educational curriculum as part of the Future Skills programme, he said.
He also said that India AI Datasets program is going to be launched soon. It will be the world’s largest datasets program which will in turn catalyse the Intelligent compute, AI compute, device and the system design ecosystem, he added.
