For example, India's Union Cabinet has approved a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) between India and Japan on the Japan-India Semiconductor Supply Chain Partnership, signed in July 2023. The MoC aims to strengthen cooperation between the two countries and enhance the semiconductor supply chain.

Impact of COVID-19 

Due to the poor demand, some of the semiconductor factories closed their operations during the COVID-19 outbreak. A dip in the growth of the market occurred when chip orders were being cancelled by the automotive firms due to the less demand for vehicles. However, the widespread adoption of the work-from-home trend has increased consumer demand for PCs and laptops, leading to a huge demand for semiconductors production.

Notably, the 95% demand for semiconductors in India is met through imports, hence, the on-set of COVID-19 pandemic induced lockdown in countries like China, Taiwan severely disrupted supply chain resulting in reduced supply and increased shortage of semiconductors in India in 2020 which lasted till early 2022. Thus, shortages of semiconductors resulted in halted production of consumer electronics, automotive vehicles, and other industrial products mostly within the country. However, on the contrary, this also resulted in realization for the need of supply chain diversification and thereby improving local production landscape. Government of India, in line with this objective to boost domestic manufacturing of semiconductors launched India Semiconductor Mission in 2021 aimed at incentivizing local companies and startups with domestic semiconductor manufacturing to meet the local demand.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War  

The Russia-Ukraine war exacerbated the semiconductor supply chain issues which further led to chip shortage that impacted the industry since February 2022. The war resulted in affecting the supply of specific raw materials used in semiconductor manufacturing, such as neon and palladium. This affected the global semiconductor market, including India. Ukraine and Russia play crucial roles as major suppliers of valuable resources essential for chip manufacturing, such as noble gases and precious metals. These resources include neon, argon, xenon, and krypton from Ukraine, and hexafluorobutadiene (C4F6) and palladium from Russia. Notably, Ukraine holds a significant 70% share in the global supply of Neon.

These gases and metals are integral in various stages of chip production. Neon is utilized in lithography, a critical process in chip manufacturing, while argon is employed in etching, another essential step in the production of semiconductors and chips. Despite geopolitical challenges arising from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, major semiconductor manufacturers like UMC and SK Hynix managed to maintain ample raw material inventory. They have also proactively diversified their supply chains to mitigate potential disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict. To ensure a steady supply of inert gases, which are essential for chip production, leading gas suppliers such as Air Products, Linde (U.S.), and Air Liquide (France) engaged in the purchase, purification, and liquefaction of these gases. These suppliers then distribute the gases to global semiconductor giants like Intel, TSMC, and Samsung, as well as smaller players in the industry.

Recent Development

For example, In November 2023, Broadcom India introduced AI features to a new version of its flagship networking chip, the Trident 5-X12. This innovation improves the chip's efficiency and its ability to handle other tasks such as network security. The new chip offers typical performance boosts like reduced power consumption and increased network bandwidth. Additionally, the Trident 5-X12 can help alleviate network traffic congestion. The chip's AI capabilities enhance performance, efficiency, and improved network throughput. Specific networked computing tasks, such as AI, can only be improved by adding additional capabilities to a chip because the software is too slow.

For example, In July 2023, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. declared that it has signed an MoU with NXP Semiconductors with an aim to provide secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications to jointly explore the electric and connected vehicle platforms, covering a wide range of vehicles including utility vehicles, light commercial vehicles, farm equipment, and tractors.
