Semiconductor manufacturing requires high investment and there is no such facility in India as of now. Setting up of Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication (FAB) unit is a capital intensive proposition. The investment required to set up a FAB can range from $3 billion to $6 billion, depending on the technology node and wafer capacity of the FAB. Established in 2006, Saankhya Labs is India’s first fabless semiconductor solutions company that has developed the world’s first production Software Defined Radios (SDR) chipsets.
