Top 11 Semiconductor Companies in India 2022

Semiconductors are an integral part of all electronic devices we use. From computers, home appliances to automobiles, semiconductors are used to power their products in every industry. However, a chip shortage has been witnessed over the past year that has caused a delay in delivery and price hike of multiple products across the globe. The severity of the chip shortage is affecting even technology giants like Samsung, which had to delay the launch of its flagship smartphone, and bike manufacturing company Royal Enfield is facing serious late delivery issues. Building new semiconductor manufacturing facilities is a highly costly affair that has also worsened the chipset shortage globally. To tackle this rising issue, the Government of India recently approved a new Rs 76,000 crore production linked incentive scheme for semiconductor manufacturing. This initiative will allow global semiconductor manufacturers to open production facilities in the country to make India a hub for semiconductor manufacturing. This article will provide a detailed list of top semiconductor companies in India 2022.
