For decades, India\u2019s brightest young minds often dreamed of working on technologies that seemed out of reach\u2014chips, rockets, quantum computers. <\/p>\n
Those dreams are no longer distant. <\/p>\n
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they are turning into reality, stitched into a national story of confidence and self-reliance. <\/p>\n
Modi has often said that \u201cscience and innovation are the pillars of Viksit Bharat\u201d, and his government has treated this not as a rhetoric but as a roadmap. <\/p>\n
In the first 100 days of his third term, we saw decisions that spoke of intent: a \u20b91,000-crore fund for space startups, the National Biomanufacturing Policy (BioE3) to build a sustainable bioeconomy, and new systems to strengthen weather forecasting through space and IT integration. <\/p>\n
These moves, bold yet practical, signalled that India is not waiting for the world\u2019s future, it is shaping its own. Few things capture this better than semiconductors. <\/p>\n
For most Indians, a chip is invisible\u2014it sits inside the phone, the car, the satellite. <\/p>\n
But in today\u2019s world, semiconductors are power. They decide whether supply chains survive, whether economies thrive, whether nations remain secure. <\/p>\n
For too long, India depended on others for this power. That is now changing.<\/p>\n
In August 2025, the Union cabinet approved four new semiconductor units worth nearly \u20b94,600 crore in investment. <\/p>\n
With earlier approvals, the India Semiconductor Mission has already attracted projects of about \u20b91.60 lakh crore across six states\u2014spanning fabs, compound semiconductor plants, and design-linked initiatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For decades, India\u2019s brightest young minds often dreamed of working on technologies that seemed out of reach\u2014chips, rockets,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176834,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[30928,4323,44995,2800,78836,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-176833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-computing","tag-chips","tag-computing","tag-prime-minister-narendra-modi","tag-quantum","tag-technologies","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176833"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176833\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
