As India offers unprecedented incentives—land concessions, financial subsidies, and regulatory exemptions—to attract semiconductor manufacturing, is this strategic investment in technological sovereignty justified, or are we entering a subsidy race with established chip-making nations where India will spend enormous resources to build capacity in a highly capital-intensive, technologically complex industry where we currently lack expertise at every level from design to fabrication?

Should India prioritize building complete semiconductor self-sufficiency through massive government support even if it means higher costs and decades-long timelines, or focus on strategic niches (chip design, packaging) where we have competitive advantages while accepting dependence on global supply chains for actual fabrication?
