The fifth edition of SEMICON India will be officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi on 17^th September 2026 at Yashobhoomi (India International Convention and Expo Centre), New Delhi.

Marking another significant milestone in India’s semiconductor journey, SEMICON India 2026 will bring together key stakeholders from across the global semiconductor ecosystem, leaders from government and industry, industry experts, academia, government officials and students.

India’s semiconductor journey has been gaining significant momentum under India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) through the Semicon India Programme. Twelve (12) projects approved under the Semicon 1.0, aimed at building a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem in the country. Further, the Union Cabinet has approved the next phase i.e. Semicon 2.0, to accelerate the development of a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem in India.

Recognising semiconductors as a foundational industry, the Government is also supporting research, innovation and design by providing state-of-the-art design tools to more than 332 academic institutes and 105 start-ups. In addition, 24 start-ups have been approved under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, enabling Indian innovators to work on critical applications. These initiatives are contributing to the development of a robust and holistic semiconductor ecosystem in the country, aligned with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Accelerating the momentum of advancement in India’s semiconductor sector, India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and SEMI, the global industry association prompting the semiconductor industry has announced the programming for SEMICON India 2026 at a press conference held in New Delhi today.

SEMICON India 2026: 5^th Edition of SEMICON India Conference and Exhibition, themed “Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem” is scheduled to be held from 17^th-19^th Sep 2026 at Yashobhoomi (IICC), Dwarka, New Delhi, jointly organized by ISM & SEMI.

The event reinforces confidence in the progressive policies and schemes of the Government of India, and highlights the country's commitment towards developing a robust, resilient, and sustainable semiconductor ecosystem among national and international industry leaders, investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders.

Over the span of three days, the event will feature a diverse range of insightful activities including keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chats, international country roundtables and more, providing a platform for dialogue and collaboration to accelerate the momentum of semiconductor innovation and growth.

Shri S. Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), said: “The Government of India has given clear indication towards the importance and significance of the Semiconductor Sector with its progressive policies and extended support. The sense of participation around the SEMICON India Conference and Exhibition has grown significantly each year. This year it is particularly significant for two reasons. Firstly, we are convening this event against the backdrop of the on-ground success of Semicon India Programme, with 03 of the 12 semiconductor projects approved under Semicon 1.0, having commenced commercial production. Secondly, the announcement of the next phase i.e. Semicon 2.0 with 06 major pillars, which further strengthens India’s commitment to build a robust and resilient semiconductor ecosystem.”

Mr. Ajit Manocha, President & CEO, SEMI, said: “SEMI has empowered the rise of semiconductor hubs around the world for more than five decades, and India is well positioned to thrive with its blend of speed, ambition, talent and long-term vision. Through SEMICON India 2026, SEMI brings the collective strength of its global network to India’s journey. India’s opportunity is not simply to join the global supply chain, but to become integral to it. That is the ambition SEMICON India 2026 exists to accelerate.”

Shri Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Additional Secretary, MeitY & CEO, ISM, said: “SEMICON India 2026 is an opportunity to bring together representatives from countries and companies across the world, Indian companies that have been approved to set up manufacturing in India, and companies exploring opportunities in the country. It also brings together leaders and policymakers from the Central and State Government, along with supply-chain partners looking to support semiconductor design and manufacturing in India. Additionally, the global semiconductor requirement is expected to increase from around $1 trillion to $2 trillion, while India’s semiconductor requirement is also expected to grow from around $100 billion to $200 billion. Also, the conference will cover a wide range of themes across the semiconductor and electronics ecosystem including a dedicated session on ‘Women Empowerment & Leadership’.

Mr. Ashok Chandak, President, SEMI India & IESA, said: “SEMICON India 2026, with its theme 'Silicon to Systems – Building the Ecosystem,' reflects India's evolution towards creating a comprehensive and globally competitive semiconductor value chain. The remarkable global and Indian corporate interest in this year's event is a testament to the confidence that industry leaders place in India's semiconductor journey. SEMICON India has become the annual convergence point where industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, startups and investors come together, collaborations take shape, partnerships are forged, and the next phase of India's semiconductor growth is accelerated. The introduction of the new 'Sand to Silicon to Systems' Value Chain Experience this year demonstrates how India is progressing from building credibility to demonstrating capability, while showcasing the country's expanding strengths across the entire semiconductor ecosystem.”

The event serves as a platform for remarkable convergence of ideas, collaboration and innovation, creating an opportunity to address the complex challenges of tomorrow while fostering greater collaboration across the semiconductor ecosystem.

In addition to distinguished government officials, this year’s event will also feature an impressive lineup of industry leaders from top companies including ASML, Applied Materials, Teradyne, Infineon, Ebara, Jabil, IBM Research, NXP, Tata Electronics, Micron, Merck KGaA, Rapidus, Lam Research, CG Power, Uno Minda, Advantest, Inox Air Products, SEMI, HORIBA STEC, SCREEN, Everspin Technologies, Brewer Science, Polar Semiconductor, Tokyo Electron, Emergence AI, and more
