In news from the semiconductor space, according to sources, the government will finalise the companies for semiconductor manufacturing under an incentive scheme soon.

So far, five firms have applied under the Rs 760-bn semiconductor promotion scheme and the government is expecting more global firms to participate.

So it won't be long when India will become a hub and Indian made semiconductors will be a reality.

By mid-May, the CEO of India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), will be appointed, after which the applications will be analysed and selected. Based on the recommendations of ISM, the Cabinet will decide the final firms for availing capital benefit.

As per sources, once there is a complete ecosystem of semiconductors in India, electronics firms will be required to source their chipsets locally. In case the chipsets are not made in India, firms can import but if the same type of chipset is manufactured in India, firms have to buy it locally only.

We will keep you updated on the latest developments from this space. Stay tuned.

Speaking of semiconductors, note that TSMC is the largest contract manufacturer of semiconductor chips in the world. The company manufactures chips for major tech firms such as Apple, Nvidia, Intel, Qualcomm, etc.

It is also one of the most successful companies whose stock has been a big wealth creator.

In January, we wrote a piece on what Indian companies can learn from this giant. You can read it here.
