US and India Announce Joint Semiconductor Plant for National Security and Tech Innovation

The new facility will produce advanced microchips to bolster defense, telecommunications, and green energy sectors.

The US Space Force and Indian government have partnered to establish a semiconductor fabrication plant in India.
The facility will manufacture infrared, gallium nitride, and silicon carbide semiconductors for advanced sensing, communication, and power electronics.
This initiative is part of the U.S.-India Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership, signed by President Biden and Prime Minister Modi.
The project aims to reduce reliance on Taiwan for semiconductors amid rising geopolitical tensions with China.
India's Bharat Semi and 3rdiTech, along with the US Space Force, will lead the plant's development, marking a significant step towards India's self-sufficiency in critical technologies.
