Union Minister for Electronics and Info Expertise, Railways, and Info and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw on Tuesday inaugurated two new state-of-the-art design services of Renesas Electronics India Personal Restricted situated in Noida and Bengaluru, an official launch from the Ministry of Electronics and IT stated.
Highlighting the distinctiveness of the brand new facility, Vaishnaw knowledgeable that that is India’s first design centre to work on cutting-edge 3-nanometer chip design, a milestone that locations India firmly within the world league of semiconductor innovation.”
Designing at 3nm is actually next-generation. We have performed 7nm and 5nm earlier, however this marks a brand new frontier,” Vaishnaw stated.
“In a primary, 3nm chips shall be designed in India,” Vaishnaw posted on X.
The Minister additionally elaborated on India’s holistic semiconductor technique encompassing design, fabrication, ATMP (Meeting, Testing, Marking, and Packaging), tools, chemical substances, and fuel provide chains. He cited {industry} confidence witnessed at world platforms like Davos and talked about important investments already being made by firms reminiscent of Utilized Supplies and Lam Analysis.
Highlighting the rising momentum in India’s semiconductor ecosystem, the Minister stated that the inauguration of this main Semiconductor Design Centre in Uttar Pradesh is a essential step in direction of creating a pan-India ecosystem that harnesses the wealthy expertise out there throughout the nation.
To additional strengthen the semiconductor ecosystem, the Authorities of India has been actively encouraging the event of semiconductor design centres within the nation. The Minister introduced the launch of a brand new semiconductor studying package geared toward enhancing sensible {hardware} abilities amongst engineering college students.
He additionally stated that 270+ tutorial establishments which have already obtained superior EDA (Electronics, Design, Automation) software program instruments beneath the India Semiconductor Mission may also obtain these hands-on {hardware} kits.
“This integration of software program and {hardware} studying will create really industry-ready engineers. We aren’t simply constructing infrastructure however investing in long-term expertise growth,” he stated.
Vaishnaw additionally praised the Centre for Growth of Superior Computing (CDAC) and the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) staff for his or her environment friendly execution and reaffirmed the federal government’s dedication to nurturing India into a world semiconductor chief.
The Union Minister additional expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for together with semiconductors as a strategic focus space beneath his broader Aatmanirbhar Bharat imaginative and prescient.
“Inside simply three years, India’s semiconductor {industry} has moved from a nascent stage to an rising world hub, and is now poised for long-term, sustainable progress,” he stated. “With the manufacturing of digital merchandise in smartphones, laptops, servers, medical tools, protection tools, cars and plenty of different sectors, the demand for semiconductors goes to extend exponentially. Due to this fact, this momentum for the semiconductor {industry}’s progress is well timed,” Vaishnaw stated.
Talking on the event, CEO and MD of Renesas Electronics, Hidetoshi Shibata, stated, “India is a strategic cornerstone for our firm, with rising contributions in embedded techniques, software program, and system innovation.”
He emphasised Renesas’ dedication to increasing end-to-end semiconductor capabilities in India, from structure to testing, whereas supporting over 250 tutorial establishments and quite a few startups by way of Authorities-backed initiatives like ISM and PLI.
He added that India’s expertise power and shared Indo-Japan strategic pursuits will assist reinvent the worldwide semiconductor lifecycle.
Renesas is an embedded semiconductor resolution supplier pushed by its objective of ‘Making our lives simpler.’
