Earlier on Tuesday, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw assured that the primary semi-conductor chip can be rolled out
“We could have the primary made in India chip by December 2024. We the primary try at this was made way back to 1962 however except you have got the right coverage and proper conviction it could possibly’t occur. PM Modi has the conviction that for Viksit Bharat we’d like electronics manufacturing. From TVs to energy electronics, in every thing we’d like semiconductors” the Minister had mentioned.
