India had begun the $13.5-billion second phase of its Semiconductor Mission, following up on the $8-billion first phase, Modi said. Twelve projects had been approved, with the next phase expected to widen participation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>He invited equipment manufacturers and suppliers of chemicals, gases and materials to invest, saying India wanted to strengthen domestic supply chains alongside chipmaking. \u201cWe want the entire ecosystem to grow together,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>He also invited Indian youth conducting research overseas to return to the country to contribute to advanced technology development domestically and urged industry to lead R&amp;D initiatives. <!-- -->The PM identified compound semiconductors and silicon photonics as priorities for AI infrastructure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Govt had introduced reforms allowing international companies to collaborate with Indian startups, design companies and OCIowned companies, he said, while seeking to encourage fabless businesses and domestic intellectual property creation.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>PM Modi said India\u2019s chip industry progressed from policy discussions-project announcements to commercial production stages. <!-- -->Indian plants were supplying customers at home and abroad, while production was beginning at two more plants in Mohali and Surat.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>\u201cIt takes decades to build technological capabilities. Wherever semiconductor ecosystems have been built in the world, they have been prepared after decades of effort.

said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>\u201cIndia\u2019s success in this critical industry would strengthen global supply chains,\u201d Modi said arguing that its significance
