Vaishnaw shared that this is India's first design centre to work on cutting-edge 3-nanometer chip design, a milestone that places the nation in the global league of semiconductor innovation.
"Designing at 3nm is truly next-generation. We've done 7nm and 5nm earlier, but this marks a new frontier," the Minister said.
"In a first, 3nm chips will be designed in India," he posted on X.
The Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Railways, and Information and Broadcasting further said, “We are not just building infrastructure but investing in long-term talent development,” crediting CDAC and the ISM team for their implementation efforts.
The new centres are India’s broader strategy to establish a comprehensive semiconductor ecosystem, including design, fabrication, assembly and testing and supply chain capabilities.
