New Delhi. Tuesday, 21 July 2026 As the global energy transition accelerates, our everyday tech demands are shifting rapidly. From electric vehicles charging in minutes to massive artificial intelligence data centers operating round-the-clock, standard silicon microchips are reaching their physical boundaries. Enter compound semiconductors—specifically Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide …

Mumbai. Tuesday, 21 July 2026 As countries race to build resilient domestic semiconductor supply chains, popular focus naturally lands on massive fabrication plants (fabs), sleek chip architectures, and advanced 3D packaging. Yet, one of the most critical—and frequently overlooked—pillars of the global microchip value chain is testing and metrology. Without …

Mumbai. Tuesday, 21 July 2026 When we talk about the world’s semiconductor revolution, the spotlight almost always falls on massive fabrication foundries (fabs)—giant, hyper-clean factories filled with multi-million-dollar lithography machines. But before a single nanometer of silicon can be etched inside a fab, an equally critical, high-stakes process takes place …

Mumbai. Tuesday, 21 July 2026 At Google I/O Connect India 2026, held at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) in Bengaluru, Google officially signaled a massive shift in how artificial intelligence will be built, deployed, and secured across the subcontinent. Moving past basic conversational chatbots, the central theme of 2026 …

Mumbai. Monday, 20 July 2026 India’s ambition to establish itself as a globally recognized chip powerhouse has reached a critical turning point. Moving decisively beyond its historical strengths in IC (integrated circuit) design, software automation, and back-end assembly, the nation is steadily forging a presence in the most complex, capital-intensive …

Mumbai. Monday, 20 July 2026 While mega-fabrication units (fabs) and multi-billion-dollar cleanrooms dominate headlines, the semiconductor industry’s success relies equally on an advanced upstream ecosystem: semiconductor chemicals and specialty gases. Every single silicon wafer undergoes hundreds of precision processing steps involving ultra-high-purity (UHP) materials that enable chip fabrication with nanometer …

New Delhi. Monday, 20 July 2026 India’s semiconductor ambitions have officially crossed a critical threshold. What began as a global design hub and expanded through initial investments in wafer fabrication plants and OSAT/ATMP (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) units has now pivoted toward the most capital-intensive element of the microelectronics …

Mumbai. Monday, 20 July 2026 India’s electronics manufacturing landscape is experiencing its most decisive transformation in decades. Historically anchored in low-margin final assembly, the country is executing a deliberate strategy to claim a deeper share of the global technology value chain—spanning component manufacturing, chip design, semiconductor fabrication, and advanced packaging. …

Mumbai. Monday, 20 July 2026 While global headlines frequently focus on multi-billion-dollar silicon fabrication plants (fabs), a quieter, highly strategic revolution is sweeping across India. Beyond physical cleanrooms and wafer fabrication, India is building an agile silicon ecosystem driven by over 105 fabless semiconductor startups. From AI accelerators and automotive …

Mumbai. Sunday, 19 July 2026 India’s startup landscape is undergoes a fundamental architectural shift. The era dominated purely by consumer internet marketplaces, food delivery apps, and hyper-local fintech platforms is making room for a highly sophisticated, research-driven counterpart. Driven by robust sovereign policies, institutional funding, and an urgent demand for …
