The Falta Special Economic Zone unit approval committee has cleared a proposal from SiCSem Private Limited to build an integrated silicon carbide (SiC) device plant near Bhubaneswar, a project with an investment of INR34.06 billion (US$355 million) and expected to employ about 1,270 people directly.

Teradyne has opened a new office in Bengaluru as India expands its chipmaking ambitions, which could affect supply chains, pricing, and manufacturing capacity worldwide. The move gives the US test-equipment maker a local base in one of Asia's fastest-growing technology hubs, where demand is rising across the semiconductor industry.

Network equipment maker Edimax Technology and its subsidiary Comtrend were affected by changes in customers' shipping cycles in the first half of 2026. Coupled with rising costs for key components such as memory and passive components, both revenue and gross margin fell from the same period in 2025. The group plans to seek a turnaround through product mix adjustments and expansion into new markets.

China and India are again trying to stabilise one of Asia's most consequential bilateral relationships, with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi using the BRICS summit in New Delhi to signal cooperation despite persistent tensions over the border, trade, investment and technology.

India's semiconductor companies have raised nearly half of their all-time equity funding since the start of 2025, and deal activity this year is already at a multi-year high. The figures arrive days before SEMICON India 2026, the country's flagship semiconductor conference, opens in New Delhi on September 17.

The US Commerce Department on September 11 issued final affirmative determinations in its anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules from India, Indonesia, and Laos, setting dumping margins of up to 123.04% and subsidy rates as high as 173.70%, according to the department's International Trade Administration.

The exhibitor list for Semicon India 2026 suggests the country's semiconductor push has moved past announcements and into procurement. The show has drawn 535 exhibiting companies, up 52% from 351 in 2025 and 97% from 271 in 2024. Moreover, the sharpest growth is not in chipmakers, but in areas that fabs purchase only once construction is real: cleanroom and utility contractors, specialty gas and chemical suppliers, and metrology and inspection tool vendors.

India is accelerating its semiconductor and electronics ambitions, courting Taiwan, easing China restrictions, expanding local manufacturing and chip infrastructure, while global technology companies deepen investment despite rising costs and regulatory risks.

Samsung Electronics' Indian unit has reportedly started cutting jobs in its TV and home-appliance businesses as higher memory-chip prices, currency weakness, and soft consumer demand squeeze margins across its local electronics operations.

HCLTech has opened a new semiconductor laboratory in Bengaluru, a move that could matter for chipmakers and device makers worldwide as they look for faster testing, qualification, and failure analysis. The facility is designed to shorten development cycles, support production quality, and strengthen India's role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.

A new electronics factory in Bengaluru is set to strengthen India's role in global supply chains, with potential benefits for customers in railways, industrial systems, energy, and medical devices worldwide. The facility highlights rising demand for high-reliability manufacturing and deeper India–Italy industrial ties.

Indian chip design company IndieSemiC is targeting shipments of 3 to 5 million locally made Wi-Fi modules in FY27-28, betting that security requirements for CCTV equipment will encourage camera makers to replace imported connectivity modules with products sourced in India.

Acer has landed a nearly US$200 million tablet order from the state of Uttar Pradesh in India, underscoring the company's growing public-sector business in one of its fastest-expanding markets. Acer Pan-Asia Pacific operations president Andrew Hou said India revenue exceeded US$700 million in 2025 and could top US$800 million in 2026 as the company moves closer to a US$1 billion revenue target.

India's most senior semiconductor policymakers came to Taipei with an argument aimed squarely at the Taiwanese supply chain: the country's chip program is meant to add redundancy to an over-concentrated global industry, not to substitute imports behind a wall. For Taiwanese materials, gas, equipment and packaging firms, that reframes India from a distant end market into a second production base their own customers are already asking them to staff.
