Tamil Nadu launches semiconductor ecosystem scheme to boost electronics manufacturing

The scheme aims to attract investments across the semiconductor value chain by offering additional incentives to eligible projects approved under the Centre’s Semicon India 2.0 programme, over and above central government support.

It also provides for customised incentives for other strategic projects, according to the announcement.

The initiative covers a broad range of activities, including wafer fabrication, assembly, testing, packaging, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and raw materials.

By supporting these segments, the state government aims to strengthen domestic supply chains, attract investments and create high-value employment opportunities.

The scheme is expected to encourage companies to establish or expand semiconductor-related operations in Tamil Nadu, while helping develop a wider ecosystem of suppliers and supporting industries.

The launch is part of the state's broader effort to build capacity in advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies.

The government has positioned the initiative as a step towards developing industries that will play a critical role in India's future technology and electronics sectors.
