PM Modi To Inaugurate Key Rs 11,000 Crore Highway Projects In Delhi Tomorrow
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate two major National Highway projects in the national capital on Sunday, that will help in easing congestion on the roads and also add to smooth and better connectivity in Delhi-NCR region. The two projects, having an estimated cost of nearly Rs 11,000 crore, will be launched by the Prime Minister at around 12.30 p.m. in Rohini, following which he will also address the public gathering. The projects, Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), are part of the government's comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, improve connectivity, cut travel time, and reduce traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas. The 10.1 km long Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs 5,360 crore. The section will also provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, DMRC Blue line and Orange line, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station and the Dwarka cluster Bus Depot. Out of the 10 km long stretch, 5.9 km will be from Shiv Murti intersection to Dwarka Sector-21, while 4.2 km will connect Dwarka Sector-21 to the Delhi-Haryana Border. PM Modi had inaugurated the 19 km-long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway in March 2024. The second project to be opened for public is the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of around Rs 5,580 crore. It is expected to ease traffic on Delhi's Inner and Outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. It will provide direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, reducing traffic snarls, speeding up goods movement in the NCR, and eventually contributing to seamless industrial connectivity. These initiatives reinforce the Centre's vision of creating world-class infrastructure in the capital that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility.

India's Semiconductor Market To Touch $110 Billion By 2030, Create Skilled Jobs
New Delhi: India's semiconductor market is expected to reach around $110 billion by 2030, as the country will become a trusted node in the $1 trillion global semiconductor market, according to a new report. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his 79th Independence Day address from the Red Fort, declared that Made-in-India semiconductor chips will be available in the market by the end of 2025, marking a major milestone in India's push for technological self-reliance. The Union Cabinet this week approved four semiconductor projects worth Rs 4,600 crore. These new ventures will produce approximately 2,000 skilled employments in India, potentially creating many more indirect value chain opportunities, according to a report in India Narrative. Currently, Taiwan makes about 90 per cent of advanced chips for India. The new Indian facilities ensure a stable local supply of telecom, electric cars, and defence chips, boosting economic resilience and minimising strategic risks. 'Designed and Made in India' chips can compete in global supply chains as companies look for alternatives to established giants amid US-China tensions, the report noted. Odisha will receive two new projects, Andhra Pradesh and Punjab will each receive one. After new approvals, there are ten India Semiconductor Mission (ISM)-sanctioned projects in six states. Over 60,000 students are being trained in semiconductor-related skills, preparing the workforce India needs for both domestic and global demand. SiCSem Private Limited in Odisha will build India's first commercial compound semiconductor fabrication facility. Defence, electric vehicles, trains, and energy infrastructure dependent on silicon carbide (SiC) devices will be the focus of this facility. Odisha-based 3D Glass Solutions Inc. envisions an advanced packaging and embedded glass substrate plant. This factory will provide cutting-edge chip packaging—a leap for AI, communications, and photonics sectors, the report said. Andhra Pradesh's ASIP Technologies, in partnership with South Korea's APACT, will build a plant serving consumer, automotive, and communications electronics. Continental Device India Ltd. in Punjab will produce more MOSFETs and IGBTs with direct relevance for renewable energy, EVs, automation, and industrial digitalisation. The proposed products will have significant applications in defence, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, RF and automotive, photonics and co-packaged optics, etc.
