In a significant stride to transform Uttar Pradesh (UP) as a national powerhouse in India’s rapidly expanding Electronics and Semiconductor landscape, president, India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) and Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) India and EC member, IESA have unveiled a comprehensive UP growth roadmap.

The IESA-SEMI roadmap emphasises the importance of establishing UP in India’s growth story by focusing on  advancements in semiconductor design and cutting-edge electronics manufacturing. To realise this vision, the association has outlined key recommendations in the roadmap encompassing the followings:

  • Global and India semiconductor trends and the hundreds of billion-dollar opportunities now opening for India.
  • UP’s current ecosystem strengths including design centres, EMS base, components potential, and growing GCC presence.
  • High-impact opportunity areas for UP in manufacturing, chip design, ATMP/OSAT, strategic electronics and advanced components.
  • Key recommendations on Product Creation, workforce development, startup acceleration, GCC expansion, supply-chain , and enabling policies under ISM, PLI, DLI,ECMS for design and manufacturing step up.
  • A collaborative engagement model where IESA and SEMI will support the State in investoroutreach, policy refinement, and industry mobilisation.

Commenting on the roadmap, president, IESA and SEMI India, said, “In line with government’s clarion call to making India a full-stack semiconductor nation, progressing from backend manufacturing to complete ecosystem capabilities at the recently held Semicon India 2025, the country has indicated a massive shift towards digital transformation, with India emerging as a key player in this trillion-dollar industry. With rapid momentum within the Noida-Greater Noida cluster, the strength of the NCR region, and state-backed initiatives such as the UP Defence Corridor, and leading institutions including IIT Kanpur, IIIT Allahabad, MNNIT Allahabad and IIT-BHU and AKTU, Uttar Pradesh is well-positioned to capitalise on this momentum. The state with its existing strengths in design centres, EMS base, components potential, and growing GCC presence, has the potential to scale rapidly in high-potential areas including manufacturing, chip design, ATMP/OSAT, strategic electronics, workforce and advanced components.”  He added, “With strong political will and industry coordination, the state is positioned to lead India’s future in chips, design, and advanced electronics.”
