Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi stated that this is the “India’s Techade,” emphasizing that the country’s efforts in the areas of technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are expected to benefit the entire world. This statement was made by the Prime Minister after inaugurating the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility of Kaynes Technology in Sanand, Gujarat. This reflects India’s strategic shift towards becoming a trusted technology partner to the world in the areas of digital infrastructure and AI innovation and semiconductor technology. The Prime Minister stated that India is fast emerging as a significant partner in the semiconductor sector.
The development also indicates that there is increased momentum for the broader deep tech industry in India, where semiconductors are increasingly seen as the core enabling layer for future AI, electronics, and advanced computing capabilities. Alongside this semiconductor development, the Prime Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for the development of projects worth Rs. 20,000 crore (US$ 2.14 billion) in Gujarat, adding to the industrial and infrastructure capabilities that exist in the region. The “Techade” vision is part of a broader ambition for India to become a trusted node in the global technology supply chain, and this includes scaling up its capabilities for chip manufacturing and electronics value chains, as well as AI compute infrastructure, over the rest of the decade.
