Days not far when India becomes global power in semiconductor sector: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday laid the foundation stone of three semiconductor facilities in India at Rs 1.25 trillion, and said the country is eager to play a big role in the semiconductor sector and days are not far when it becomes a global power in this field.

Addressing people after virtually laying the foundation stone of the three semiconductor facilities – two in Gujarat and one in Assam, PM Modi targeted the Congress, accusing the previous governments led by it of failing to convert India’s semiconductor dreams into reality due to the “inability” to understand the country’s potential, priorities and futuristic needs and its “lack of will and efforts”.
