The Delhi government has commenced drafting a semiconductor policy to transform the capital into a hub for semiconductor design and manufacturing. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced this initiative during the 2026-27 budget, allocating ₹1 crore for its development. The policy is structured around five pillars: semiconductor design and intellectual property development, research and innovation, manufacturing-enabling activities, development of ancillary industries, and talent development. It emphasizes targeted incentives, operational cost reduction, and creating a supportive business environment to attract private investment. The government aims to enhance investor confidence by aligning with national initiatives like the India Semiconductor Mission. Gupta highlighted that the policy is expected to generate high-quality job opportunities in areas such as chip design and advanced packaging, while also promoting skill development through training programs and partnerships with academia. Overall, the policy seeks to strengthen Delhi's position in high-value segments of the semiconductor value chain.
