A semiconductor is called such components which are needed in every electronic item such as TV, AC, mobile, laptop, refrigerator, washing machine, car, airplane, etc.
The reason behind the use of semiconductors is that semiconductors can act as both insulators and conductors, so the flow of electrons through the semiconductor is controlled.
Government has launched a 10 billion dollars (Rs 76000 crore) production linked incentive (PLI) scheme, which will be invested in setting up the semiconductor industry in the next 4-5 years.
These chips can be used from 5G devices to electric cars, so from all these steps, the government feels that local production of semiconductors can be started in India in the next 2-3 years.
The government will also provide infrastructure (ultra-pure water, zero failure electricity, specialized gas, and chemical) to the company to manufacture semiconductors in India.
To run just one manufacturing plant, up to 4 million gallons of ultra-pure water, zero failure electricity, specialized gas, and chemicals are required daily and manpower is also required for this.
