Four new semiconductor units worth Rs 4,594 crore to come up in Odisha, AP, Punjab: Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw

Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills ETtech The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved four semiconductor projects worth Rs 4,594 crore under the India Semiconductor Mission , taking the total number of approved chip manufacturing facilities in India to ten. The latest approvals push up the projected investments in semiconductor projects to about Rs 1.6 lakh crore across six newly approved proposals are from SiCSem Pvt Ltd , Heterogeneous Integrated Packaging Solutions Pvt Ltd (HIPSPL), Continental Device India Pvt Ltd and Advanced System in Package (ASIP) Technologies. While SiCSem and HIPSPL will set up units at Bhubaneshwar in Odisha, CDIL will expand its existing facility in Punjab's Mohali and ASIP will build a plant in Andhra Pradesh. The proposals are expected to generate 2,034 skilled jobs cumulatively."The complete ecosystem of design, wafer fabrication, packaging, manufacturing of components, assembly, testing, and high-volume final production, is in the works. This will help every sector and dimension of electronics manufacturing," union minister for electronics and information technology Ashwini Vaishnaw government hopes to give the semiconductor ecosystem a significant boost with the latest approvals, given that it will include the country's first commercial compound fab, as well as a highly advanced glass-based substrate semiconductor packaging products from these new plants will have applications in missiles, defence equipment, electric vehicles, railway, fast chargers, data centre racks, consumer appliances and solar power inverters, among others, Vaishnaw said. The new plants are expected to be ready for production in 2-3 years given that all government bodies have promised to provide expeditious permissions, he said, while pointing to previous such plants breaking ground in 6 terms of investment figures, the new plants are smaller than each of the six projects that are already coming up. Tata Electronics is investing Rs 91,000 crore in a fab facility in Gujarat's Dholera and Rs 27,000 crore for an semiconductor assembly and test facility at Morigaon, Assam, both announced in February last year. US-based Micron Technology is investing Rs 23,000 crore in an assembly, testing, marking and packaging (ATMP) plant at Sanand in Gujarat, announced in June SicSem is collaborating with Scotland's Clas-SiC Wafer Fab to establish a Rs 2,066 crore facility for silicon carbide-based compound semiconductors in Bhubaneswar. Set to be the first commercial compound fab in India, it will have an annual capacity of 60,000 wafers and a packaging capacity of 96 million chips."There is a world-wide movement from silicon to silicon carbide. It is a robust material and can sustain high voltage and temperatures. It is used in missiles, space equipment, satellites, rockets, railway engines and telecom tower equipment. Silicon carbide is a strategic necessity for our country,' the minister said. The Bhubaneshwar plant will also do research. 'At IIT-Bhubaneswar, a Rs 45 crore R&D unit has been set up," he will also be home to HIPSPL's vertically integrated advanced packaging and embedded glass substrate unit. A subsidiary of Albuquerque, New Mexico-based high-tech manufacturing firm 3D Glass Solutions Inc, HIPSPL will put in Rs 1,943 crore into the unit. It will be the first in the world to provide 3D packaging on a glass substrate on a commercial scale, Vaishnaw plant will have 11-13% equity investments each from US majors Intel, Lockheed Martin and Applied Materials, as well as venture capital funds, an official planned capacity of this unit will be nearly 70,000 glass panel substrates, 50 million assembled units and 13,200 3D heterogeneous integration modules every ASIP will set up a unit in Andhra Pradesh with an investment of Rs 468 crore, through a technology tie-up with South Korea's APACT, with an annual capacity of 96 million units. The manufactured products will find applications in mobile phones, set-top boxes, automobile applications and other electronic products. Venkata Simhadri, chief executive, ASIP Technologies, told ET: "Our OSAT/ATMP is focused on advanced (2.5D/3.0D) packaging of semiconductors, targeting data centres, high-speed communications and AI applications."New Delhi-based Continental Device will expand its discrete semiconductor manufacturing facility at Mohali with an investment of Rs 117 crore. It will manufacture high-power discrete semiconductor devices such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, schottky bypass diodes and transistors, both in silicon and silicon carbide. The annual capacity of this brownfield expansion will be 158.38 million general manager Prithvideep Singh told ET: "With this investment, we would expand our installed capacity of 600 million units to over 760 million units annually and sharpen our focus on silicon and silicon carbide chips."With a capacity of producing 24 billion chips, the six semiconductor projects that have already got approvals are in various stages of first-ever made in India chip will become available in the next 2-3 months, with three of the projects competing with each other, Vaishnaw a result of domestic chip production, the government expects the average value addition for electronics in India to rise to 30% in the future from 22% now, he said.

Inside the AI push at US universities: How Barnard, Columbia, NYU and MIT are preparing students for the age of artificial intelligence

Barnard College has joined a growing group of institutions embedding artificial intelligence directly into student life. Beginning August 1, students can access Google's Gemini and NotebookLM through their Barnard email accounts, following a July 29 announcement. The rollout is part of an expanded agreement with Google and was framed as a step toward giving every student a 'basic level of AI literacy.' This move is not happening in isolation. Across the United States, universities are racing to integrate AI tools, professional development pathways, and ethical training into their academic offerings, signalling that AI proficiency is becoming a core graduate skill. Structured AI literacy framework at Barnard College Barnard's approach goes beyond simply providing access to AI platforms. The college has developed a four-level AI Literacy Framework, outlined in its official publications and used across student and faculty training. This framework progresses from basic awareness of AI concepts to advanced, discipline-specific applications, and culminates in critical evaluation and ethical use. Workshops, AI studios, and collaborative learning sessions planned for the fall are aligned with this structure, ensuring students build layered competencies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Columbia University: Professional pathways into AI leadership Columbia University's AI initiatives extend from campus tools to industry-focused training. The university offers a Professional Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence, confirmed through its official course portals and partner sites. The program covers machine learning, robotics, and intelligent systems, and is designed for professionals and tech leaders. Learners can complete the program online or in an executive format, enabling both working professionals and on-campus participants to deepen their AI expertise. Alongside this, Columbia continues to provide campus-developed AI resources such as CU-GPT and CHAT, as well as access to ChatGPT Education. Its Center for Teaching and Learning supports faculty in creating assignments that combine AI tools with critical reflection. New York University: AI access across age groups and disciplines NYU is pursuing AI literacy at multiple levels of education. NYU Shanghai runs an AI Pre-College Summer Program that combines coding instruction in Python, NumPy, and PyTorch with discussions on AI ethics and hands-on project work. The program targets high school students seeking early exposure to AI. In addition, NYU's Tandon School of Engineering and other divisions offer high school summer programs, undergraduate research opportunities, and cross-disciplinary workshops designed to integrate AI into fields as varied as healthcare, media, and public policy. The university also provides its community with access to Gemini and NotebookLM, paired with guidance on responsible use. Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Multiple routes into AI mastery MIT has built an AI learning ecosystem that serves both technical and non-technical learners. Its Professional Certificate Program in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence covers advanced topics and awards formal certification to graduates. For those without a coding background, MIT offers low- or no-code AI training routes, making the technology accessible to professionals in non-technical fields. MIT's commitment to accessibility extends globally, with foundational AI courses offered online to learners around the world. On campus, approved tools such as Adobe Firefly, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and Google Gemini are available under strict governance and security guidelines. The Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education (RAISE) initiative, including global outreach programs like FutureMakers and Day of AI, has reached more than a million K–12 students. Why the race is accelerating Technology companies are fuelling the trend. Google has committed one billion dollars over three years to provide AI tools, cloud resources, and training to more than 100 US universities. OpenAI and Anthropic are competing for partnerships, offering their platforms to campuses at no cost and supporting research initiatives. The academic argument for AI is also growing stronger. Well-designed AI tutors have been shown to improve student performance in certain disciplines, while educators continue to wrestle with questions about plagiarism, over-reliance, and the erosion of independent thinking. The road ahead Barnard's adoption of AI tools and its structured literacy framework place it alongside institutions like Columbia, NYU, and MIT in redefining what it means to graduate 'career-ready' in the AI era. While their strategies differ, Barnard with its tiered literacy model, Columbia with professional certifications, NYU with early-pipeline education, and MIT with both technical mastery and global outreach. They share a common goal: to ensure students leave campus not just with access to AI, but with the ability to use it critically, ethically, and effectively. TOI Education is on WhatsApp now.
