India will host the fifth edition of SEMICON India 2026 from September 17-19, 2026, at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, bringing together global semiconductor companies, policymakers, industry leaders, investors, academia and startups to accelerate the country’s semiconductor ecosystem. Organised jointly by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and SEMI under the theme “Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem,” the three-day event will feature keynotes, panel discussions, international country roundtables and sessions covering semiconductor manufacturing and technology, artificial intelligence and digital transformation, supply chains, chemicals and materials, sustainability, product design, startups, skilling and market development. The exhibition will feature 500+ exhibitors, including 240+ international companies, with participation from 40+ countries, 150+ international speakers, six country pavilions and 10 state government pavilions across more than 15,000 square metres.

India’s semiconductor ecosystem is gaining momentum through the Semicon India Programme, with 12 projects approved under Semicon 1.0, of which three have commenced commercial production. The Union Cabinet has also approved Semicon 2.0 to further accelerate development of a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem. The Government is supporting semiconductor research, innovation and design by providing advanced design tools to 332+ academic institutes and 105 startups, while 24 startups have been approved under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme. India’s semiconductor requirement is expected to rise from around US$ 100 billion to US$ 200 billion, while global semiconductor demand is projected to increase from around US$ 1 trillion to US$ 2 trillion. SEMICON India 2026 is expected to strengthen industry collaboration, attract investment, promote innovation and support India’s integration into global semiconductor supply chains.
