SEMICON India 2026 opened at the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre in New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the exhibition and said India had entered a second phase of its semiconductor journey.
The show features more than 600 exhibitors, including about 300 international companies. The programme covers roughly 15,000 square metres and includes more than 150 speakers, six country pavilions and 12 state-government pavilions.
Policy priorities move onto the show floor
Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw outlined SEMICON 2.0 targets during the event. They include at least 200 chip-design startups, investment in machines and materials, and more capacity for display, memory, silicon, compound and logic production.
The targets also include additional advanced packaging units. Workforce development is part of the programme, with a government plan to train 100,000 more semiconductor engineers. Startup and student sections add further activity for emerging participants.
The New Delhi event connects exhibitions with national industrial policy. For electronics buyers, suppliers and exhibitors, its country and state pavilions provide a concentrated view of India’s semiconductor ambitions and supply-chain priorities.
Its combination of trade shows, conferences and business events makes SEMICON India a significant entry on the international event calendar.
