He called for CSR investments to be aligned with priority geographies, strengthen public systems and enable data-driven, last-mile delivery, while also underscoring the need to focus on capacity building, behaviour change and real-time monitoring through shared platforms.

Convened by UNICEF India in collaboration with the Department of Public Enterprises, Ministry of Finance, the event brought together representatives from NITI Aayog, DPE, MWCD, MCA and UNICEF, along with CPSEs, private sector leaders and development partners to advance a more coordinated and outcome-focused approach to nutrition.

NITI Aayog’s Frontier Tech Hub has unveiled “Future of India’s Semiconductor Industry”, a 10-year roadmap outlining India’s vision for strengthening its position across the global semiconductor value chain.

Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, Hon’ble Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, and Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting and Electronics & Information Technology, launched the roadmap on 29 May 2026 in the presence of Shri Ashok Lahiri, Hon’ble Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog, to chart India’s next phase of semiconductor growth and leadership.

Leadership in frontier technologies is not built in short cycles. It calls for long-term planning, sustained capability development and the foresight to invest ahead of demand. This roadmap outlines that path for one of the world’s most critical technology value chains.

As India moves from ecosystem creation to ecosystem deepening, the roadmap sets out an ambitious vision of building a USD 120–150 billion semiconductor ecosystem by 2035, while identifying key priorities and emerging opportunities across the semiconductor value chain.

The full roadmap is now available on the NITI Aayog Frontier Tech Hub website.
