In a significant stride to transform Uttar Pradesh as a national powerhouse in India's rapidly expanding Electronics and Semiconductor landscape, Mr Ashok Chandak, President, IESA and SEMI India and Mr. Vivek Tyagi, IESA EC member unveiled a comprehensive UP Growth Roadmap at Network 18 Moneycontrol’s UP TechNext Summit today. The roadmap, presented to Hon'ble Minister of Information Technology & Electronics, Shri Sunil Kumar Sharma in presence of Mr. Sushil Pal, JS , Meity, Sh Anurag Yadav, Principal Secretary, Electronics and IT, Govt of UP during the event inaugural session outlines strategic recommendations from the association to position Uttar Pradesh as one of India’s top potential hubs for electronics and semiconductors.
The industry landscape and the state’s standing :
In line with Hon'ble PM Modi’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 & 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, commented Ashok Chandak, President IESA and SEMI India. With strong political will and industry coordination, the state is positioned to lead India’s future in chips, design, and advanced electronics, he added.
Roadmap highlights :
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 mobilization.
During the day, Mr. Ashok Chandak and Mr. Vivek Tyagi held an engaging one-on-one meeting with the Hon’ble Minister for Electronics & IT, Shri Sushil Kumar Sharma, during which key areas for future collaboration and follow-up actions were identified.
