India’s advanced packaging push
India’s semiconductor roadmap identifies advanced packaging and OSAT capabilities as key areas for growth, with the country aiming to build a major role in the global semiconductor supply chain over the next decade.
India is targeting a stronger position in the global semiconductor ecosystem, with advanced packaging identified as a key opportunity in a new 10-year roadmap from the NITI Frontier Tech Hub.
The roadmap outlines plans to build a $120–150 billion domestic semiconductor value chain by 2035 and position India among the world’s leading hubs for outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and advanced packaging.
While India’s semiconductor demand continues to grow, the country currently relies heavily on imports.
The strategy highlights advanced packaging, compound semiconductors and chip design as areas where India can accelerate capability development while strengthening its position in global supply chains.
Advanced packaging is expected to play an increasingly important role as the semiconductor industry moves toward heterogeneous integration, chiplet-based architectures and higher-performance computing solutions.
The roadmap identifies packaging and assembly capabilities as a critical part of India’s transition from semiconductor consumption to semiconductor value creation.
The report also highlights India’s existing strengths in semiconductor design, with the country contributing a significant share of the global chip design workforce.
Building on this foundation, the strategy aims to expand capabilities across research and development, manufacturing, packaging and talent development.
India’s semiconductor initiatives are designed to attract investment, develop domestic expertise and create a more resilient supply chain. The roadmap sets goals for increasing domestic semiconductor value capture and reducing reliance on imported components.
As global semiconductor companies seek greater supply chain diversification, India’s focus on advanced packaging could create new opportunities for OSAT providers, equipment suppliers and technology partners looking to expand in the region.
