India's semiconductor market is expected to more than double to grow in the range of $100-110 billion by 2030 according to industry estimates, an official statement said on Sunday.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% 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 Rs 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 Rs 1.55 lakh crore to produce semiconductors in India.The government under the ISM has made a Rs 1000 crore provision for Design Linked Incentive for chip design out of which it has committed Rs 234 crore financial support for eligible start-ups."The government had committed the support of Rs 234 crore for the chip design projects from 22 companies with a total project cost of Rs 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.

Trump warns of more secondary sanctions on India over oil imports from Russia
Hours after imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports, taking the total to 50 per cent, US President Donald Trump warned of more secondary sanctions on India over its continued purchase of oil from asked, "Indian officials have said there are other countries buying Russian oil, like China, for instance. Why are you singling India out for these additional sanctions?" Trump responded, "It's only been eight hours. So let's see what happens. You're going to see a lot more You're going to see so many secondary sanctions." advertisementEarlier in the day, the White House issued an executive order announcing an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports, taking the total to 50 per cent. The revised duties are set to come into force on August 27 -- 21 days from the date of signing. This is a developing story. It will be updated.- EndsMust Watch

Grid-linked solar panels may increase bills: KSEB
T'puram: KSEB claims that grid-connected rooftop solar units are causing problems for consumers in state as they could trigger a substantial increase in power tariffs over the course of time. The power utility claimed that it sustained a loss of over Rs 500 crore in FY 2024-25 due to low daytime demand for power when these solar units produce electricity. Kerala ranks fourth nationally in terms of the installed capacity of rooftop solar units behind Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Despite lower overall demand, Kerala generates more solar power than Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The state's installed solar capacity is twice that of Karnataka. Power demand in Kerala peaks between 6pm and 11pm. Solar prosumers—those who produce and use their own solar energy—consume only 36% of the power they generate. The rest goes into the grid. At night, they draw back 45% of the power they supplied to the grid. However, KSEB buys only 19% of the solar power produced daily. This system strains KSEB's finances because power costs more and is harder to get during peak hours. In FY 2024-25, the financial impact of this power banking arrangement exceeded Rs 500 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like (1) Activate Antivirus License Now Click Here This in turn added a burden of 19 paise/unit to the electricity bills of Kerala's 1.3 crore consumers. If solar plants larger than 3 kilowatts are installed without battery storage, this additional cost will increase from the current 19 paise in coming years. KSEB estimates that by 2034-35, consumers could pay an additional 39 paise per unit. "This imposes an unnecessary financial burden on average consumers," the utility said. In a state like Kerala, where daytime usage is low, excess power produced and sent to the grid can cause high voltage on the grid, increasing the risk of damage to household appliances. In future, solar plants may need to be turned off at certain times to ensure the safety of the power distribution network. The situation highlights the challenge of balancing green energy growth with grid stability and affordable power for all consumers.

Kavi Subhash closure hits Orange Line rider count
Kolkata: Since the closure of the Blue Line section at the Kavi Subhash station on July 28, the daily ridership of the Orange Line, which shares the terminal station at New Garia, has halved, sources said. The viability of the Orange Line's truncated 5.4km segment largely depended on its interface with the Blue Line at Kavi Subhash, which also has an interface with the Green Line (East-West Metro) at Esplanade. In the absence of the Blue Line, several passengers have stopped using the Orange Line. Before the shutdown, around 3,000 passengers travelled daily on the New Garia-Ruby corridor. The interface at Kavi Subhash enabled commuters to travel across Dakshineswar-New Garia (Blue Line) to Ruby (Orange Line) on a single token. They could also travel across East-West Metro or the Green Line's Howrah Maidan-Esplanade section via the Esplanade interchange, to Kavi Subhash (Blue Line) and onward to destinations on EM Bypass via the Orange Line. "After July 28, the Kavi Subhash interchange became non-functional. Barely 1,500 passengers are using the Orange Line daily now," a source said. Orange Line ticket sales at Kavi Subhash station have dropped from 1,000–1,100 to 500–600 daily, sources said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata "Metro Railway would earlier earn Rs 1 lakh from selling Blue Line tickets at Kavi Subhash station. For the Orange Line, the average daily ticket sales were between Rs 20,000 and Rs 22,000. Now, the average revenue from the Orange Line's ticket sales at Kavi Subhash has reduced to around Rs 10,000," a source said. The Orange Line (New Garia or Kavi Subhash)-Ruby (Hemanta Mukhopadhyay), will eventually span 30 km, along EM Bypass, Salt Lake Bypass, New Town, and VIP Road, terminating at the airport (Jai Hind Metro station). The 5.4km stretch was commissioned with 48 services in Mar 2024, running from 9 am to 4.40 pm. In Aug last year, services increased to 74. Operating duration extended to 12 hours, with the first and last trains departing at 8 am and 8 pm from both ends (Kavi Subhash and Ruby). Trains are available at 20-minute intervals as the superior signalling system or communication-based train control (CBTC) awaits the final safety approval. "Only five-day services are available. Still, around 3,000 people travelled on the Orange Line daily because they could avail of the Kavi Subhash and the Esplanade interchanges and zip across three corridors. The network has gone haywire now and the Orange Line is badly hit," an official said.
