Indian semicon market may grow over two-fold to ₹9.6 lakh cr by 2030
The
Indian semiconductor market
was about $45-50 billion in 2024-2025 against $38 billion in 2023, the statement said, citing industry estimates.
"As per industry estimates, the size of the Indian semiconductor market was about $38 billion in 2023, $45-50 billion in 2024-2025 and is expected to reach $100-110 billion by 2030," the statement said.
A detailed statement highlighting the need for semiconductors, efforts of the government and response from the industry cited the crisis faced by various technology segments especially by the automobile industry due to dependency on select geographies during the Covid pandemic and stressed on the need for developing India as trusted partner in the global supply chain.
"Currently, countries like Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, China and US dominate the semiconductor industry. Taiwan produces more than 60% of the world's semiconductors, including nearly 90 per cent of the most advanced ones.
"Such dependence on a single region has exposed global supply chains to significant risks - from pandemics and natural disasters to geopolitical tensions. Recognizing this challenge, many countries are now building secure and diversified supply chains," the statement said.
The United States, European Union, Japan, and South Korea have launched national strategies to support domestic chip manufacturing and reduce over-reliance on a single region.
"India is emerging as an important and trusted partner in this global shift," the statement said.
The global semiconductor market is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, with India's market occupying a substantial portion of it.
India has the capacity to emerge as a key contributor to the three primary pillars of the
semiconductor manufacturing
supply chain - equipment, materials and services and
R&D
.
It stated that India can leverage a strong base of MSMEs to produce components for semiconductor equipment and it has a rich source of chemicals, minerals and gases which can be utilised by semiconductor supply chain companies. Services R&D, logistics and supply chain, major talent in AI, big data, cloud computing and IoT are major strengths, the statement said.
The government has already launched
India Semiconductor Mission
in December 2021 with an outlay of ₹76,000 crore to provide financial support for investments in semiconductor fabrication, display manufacturing & chip design to strengthen India's integration into global electronics value chains.
Industry players including US memory chip maker Micron, Tata Electronics (TEPL) in partnership with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (PSMC) of Taiwan, CG Power & Industrial Pvt Ltd in partnership with Renesas & Stars, Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt Ltd (TSAT), Kaynes Semicon, HCL-Foxconn JV have committed a total investment of over ₹1.55 lakh crore to produce semiconductors in India.
The government under the ISM has made a ₹1000 crore provision for Design Linked Incentive for chip design out of which it has committed ₹234 crore financial support for eligible start-ups.
"The government had committed the support of ₹234 crore for the chip design projects from 22 companies with a total project cost of ₹690 crore. These chips will be used in CCTV cameras, mobile networks, satellites, cars, smart devices, etc.
The government under its vision for semiconductor ecosystem development supports Semicon India which is a flagship event organised in partnership with SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International).
The platform brings together global industry leaders, policymakers, academia, and startups to foster investment, dialogue, and strategic partnerships.
"The 4th edition is to be held in Delhi from September 2-4th, 2025.
Semicon India 2025
co-hosted by India
Semiconductor Mission
(ISM) and SEMI will be held from September 2-4, 2025, at Yashobhoomi (IICC), New Delhi. It is set to display India's redefining role in the global semiconductor ecosystem," the statement said.

Shrimp, organic chemicals, apparel, jewellery exports may dip 50-70% due to Trump tariff: GTRI
ANI India-US trade (Image for representation) The imposition of a 50 per cent US tariff on Indian goods will impact exports of nine product categories, including shrimp, organic chemicals, apparel, and jewellery by 50-70 per cent, think tank GTRI said on Thursday. US President Donald Trump on Wednesday slapped an additional 25 per cent tariff, raising the total duties to 50 per cent on goods coming from India, as a penalty for New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil. The 50 per cent duty will come into effect from August 27. This is on top of the usual US import duties, called Most Favoured Nation (MFN) decision makes India one of the most heavily taxed US trading partners, worse off than China (30 per cent) or Vietnam (20 per cent), and on par with in its analysis, has categorised India's export segments in three categories- very high impact sectors (exports may be down by 50-70 per cent), high-impact sectors (exports may be down by 30-50 per cent), and low or no impact areas. In the first category, there are nine product categories - shrimp, organic chemicals, carpets, knitted and woven apparel, made-ups, diamonds, gold and jewellery, machinery and mechanical appliances, and furniture and high-impact segment goods are steel, aluminium, copper, and auto last category items are pharmaceuticals, smartphones, and petroleum products, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) exported USD 2 billion worth of shrimps to the US in FY2025, accounting for 9.52 per cent of total US shrimp now face a 50 per cent tariff, an antidumping duty and a countervailing duty of about 10 per cent."India faces stiff competition from Canada (16.16 per cent share, zero tariff under USMCA) and Chile (15.02 per cent share, 10 per cent tariff). With such high duties, Indian shrimps risk losing significant ground to lower-taxed competitors like Chile," GTRI founder Ajay Srivastava said. India exported USD 2.7 billion of organic chemicals to the US, holding a 5.11 per cent market share, and now faces a 54 per cent total tariff (4 per cent MFN + 50 per cent Trump tariff). In contrast, Ireland (36.11 per cent share) pays just 15 per cent, and Switzerland (6.46 per cent ) pays 39 per cent."Indian chemical exporters will struggle to stay competitive against these low-tariff suppliers," he said, adding that India is the largest exporter of carpets to the US, with a 35.48 per cent market share and USD 1.2 billion in export also said that with USD 10 billion in exports and a 13.63 per cent market share, this is India's top sector to the US, now facing 52.1 per cent duty (2.1 per cent MFN + 50 per cent).Switzerland (17.02 per cent) and Canada (10.44 per cent) pay lower duties -- 39 per cent and 35 per cent, the country exported USD 6.7 billion in machinery, with a 6.79 per cent share of US imports."Now facing a 51.3 per cent duty (1.3 per cent MFN + 50 per cent), India trails behind Mexico (19.92 per cent, zero tariffs), China (16.03 per cent, 30 per cent duty), and Taiwan (10 per cent, 15 per cent levy)," Srivastava said. "Top Indian firms include GE India, Bharat Forge, and JCB India. Tariffs could derail India's climb in advanced manufacturing exports," he noted.

Reliance workforce rebounds on the back of retail business
Reliance Industries, one of India's top private sector employers, saw its consolidated workforce rebound in FY25 following a sharp correction in FY24 led by retail. In FY25, the total employee count rose to 4,03,303 from 3,47,362 in FY24 due to its retail business, according to the company's annual report. In FY24, the company reduced its workforce by 42,052, of which 38,029 were in retail. Again in FY25, it added 55,941 employees, with 40,230 new hires in retail. The retailer ended the year with 19,340 stores, up 2.67% from the year-ago period, and a retail area of 77.4 million sq. ft.—albeit lower than the 79.1 million sq. ft. retail area it occupied in the previous fiscal on account of rationalising large store spaces. Last fiscal year, the business opened 1,840 new stores, with the total store count standing at 18,836 stores. The company had undertaken a streamlining of its stores in fiscal 2025—it is now back on an expansion strategy, having added 388 stores during the June quarter. For instance, it had shuttered large format stores across grocery and fashion retail to open smaller stores across formats. 'The closures (in the June quarter) have been quite small. We are now on the path of growing our store network,' said Dinesh Taluja, chief financial officer at Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd (RRVL), during the company's post-earnings call last month. The business opened 2,659 stores during the year, bringing the total count to 19,340 stores; however, the pace of store expansion moderated in the fiscal year compared to the previous year. Last fiscal year, the business opened 1,840 new stores, bringing the total number of stores to 18,836. Tata-backed Trent Ltd opened 236 stores to take its store count under the fashion businesses, Zudio and Westside, to 1013, while Avenue Supermarts Ltd, which runs DMart retail stores, opened 50 stores bringing its total store count to 415 at the end of March 2025. Other top private sector employer companies include Tata Group's Tata Consultancy Services with 6,07,979 employees and Infosys with 3,23,578 employees. Reliance Retail invested ₹ 33,696 crore in FY 2024-25, up 37.5% from ₹ 24,506 crore in FY 2023-24, reflecting its focus on infrastructure development and expansion. This included investments in store expansion, acquisitions under its consumer goods vertical, warehousing and retail space. In his address to shareholders, Reliance chairman and managing director Mukesh D. Ambani said that the retail business is one of the four new engines of growth, the others being digital services, media and entertainment, and new energy. 'Each of these platforms is technology-first, innovation-led, and positioned to disrupt industries while delivering massive value to Indian consumers and the global market,' said Ambani. Reliance Retail recorded gross revenue of ₹ 3.3 trillion for the year, a growth of 7.9% over the previous year. The business opened 2,659 stores during the year, taking the total store count to 19,340 stores, the largest store footprint for any retailer in the country. The registered customer base crossed 349 million. The business, which operates across e-commerce, lifestyle retail, apparel, consumer electronics, grocery and packaged consumer goods, reported an 11.3% jump in FY25 profit to ₹ 12,388 crore. For instance, the company operates 26 million+ sq. ft. of warehouse area, per the company's June quarter investor presentation released last month. Reliance Retail operates stores under formats such as Reliance Fresh (grocery), Reliance Trends (fashion), Reliance Digital (electronics), Azorte (fashion), Hamley's, and Marks & Spencer, among several others. Online platforms include JioMart, Ajio, and Tira, among others. JP Morgan, in their note dated 20 July, said that Reliance's Retail performance decelerated in the June quarter of FY26, while it had shown some signs of recovery, the sequential drop in revenue and Ebitda was disappointing. The company reasoned that it was partly on account of weaker electronics sales due to the early monsoon, and some store closure costs that were booked in the first quarter, and headline retail margins were stable, though year-on-year. In their July report, analysts at JM Financials said the grocery, fashion and lifestyle segments did well and noted significant growth in JioMart Quick and consumer brands. Despite adding 252 stores, total retail space barely increased, suggesting a few larger stores were rationalised and replaced by smaller stores. Reliance Industries shares closed 0.2% lower at ₹ 1,389.40 on Thursday, while the benchmark Nifty 50 gained 0.1%.
