The focus of the centre is on building next-generation 2-nanometre (nm) chip technology, a move that experts say could change the country's role in the global electronics industry. 'Moving from 7 nm and 5 nm chips to 2 nm means India is stepping into a zone that only a few countries have reached. Earlier in May 2025, he had also opened two chip design centres in Noida and Bengaluru, which worked on 3 nm technology. Now, the move towards 2 nm is seen as a leap that adds momentum to India's ambition of becoming a global semiconductor hub. Under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, 23 chip design projects have been cleared.
