India’s first domestically produced silicon carbide chip wafer has been successfully manufactured in Bengaluru. Now let’s see what’s next—tell me, could this be a game-changer in the semiconductor industry? First, IIT Madras and ISRO’s lab collaborated to design the wafer. Then, the central government updated its ₹10,000 crore incentive scheme. Yesterday, CDIL announced that the first commercial chip will hit the market within the next eight weeks. All of this is happening quietly—but this is real Atmanirbhar Bharat. I believe tensions between China and Taiwan are rising. India must build its own semiconductor ecosystem. This wafer is the first genuine step in that direction. The only question is: Do you think India can surpass China in semiconductors within the next five years?
