India is working with countries like the United States, Japan, and members of the European Union to improve its semiconductor capabilities. Under a joint program with the U.S., called iCET, India is gaining access to advanced technologies, including those needed for chips used in power electronics and defense.
Japan has also shown strong interest in supporting . Through the Rapidus project, India will receive support in chip development and access to Japanese markets. These partnerships bring technical knowledge, equipment, and global supply chain access to Indian companies.
L&T and other startups are also gaining from these ties. They are receiving financial support and training to build in-house design teams and R&D labs, which will play a key role in developing unique chip designs for global and domestic needs.
