Agreement for Semiconductor Fabrication Plant Signed by India and US

In a breakthrough, the United States and India have inked an important pact to establish semiconductor production factory. The alliance is a big step closer for both countries in their tech cooperation. The scheme has been praised by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden, is important for areas including renewables energy, telecoms and national security.

Introduction to Semiconductor Fabrication Plant

• The "Shakti" plant, a crucial part of India's Semiconductor Mission, is dedicated to making superior semiconductors.
• The beauty of the project is, it will be for the first time that US Military comes together with India on this critical technology involvement.
• In India, key players such as Bharat Semi and 3rdiTech will produce advanced sensors, communication technologies and power electronics For USA Space Force.
• It is as critical because the Indo-US civil nuclear deal, and must be treated therefore.
• The plant would also minimize the dependence of India on imports for critical materials, leading to further development resilience in its technology supply chain.
• The plant will serve a range of commercial sectors that includes railways, telecommunications and data centres and also aims to lower India's annual semiconductor imports.
• The collaboration signifies a new era of technology cooperation between U.S. and India that will push forward technical advancements in semiconductor technologies to strengthen the global competitiveness.
