TSMC's ADRs climbs to ninth rank globally

The global shortage of memory chips is largely being driven by the rapid rise in artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, which has significantly increased demand for advanced memory solutions, according to Ashok Chandak, President of the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) and SEMI India.

India's semiconductor ecosystem is expected to achieve a production capacity of 75-80 million chips per day as several newly announced semiconductor plants begin operations by the end of this year or early next year, according to Ashok Chandak, President of the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) and SEMI India.

India's semiconductor ecosystem is set to move towards design-led manufacturing, where chips are designed and manufactured within the country and then supplied globally, according to Ashok Chandak, President of the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) and SEMI India.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, reported a strong rise in net revenue for February, underscoring sustained demand for advanced semiconductors amid a global build-out of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Government of India's initiative for prioritising talent development through Training, Up-skilling and Workforce Development Programs under Chips to Startups (C2S) initiative of India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), Union Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting, and Electronics & IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, stated that India has made significant progress in last four years itself for its 10-year target of training 85,000 engineers in semiconductor design.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) aims to complete a new fabrication plant in Tainan by 2028 as part of an aggressive capacity expansion driven by global demand for artificial intelligence chips. According to a report by Focus Taiwan, the world's largest contract chipmaker submitted development proposals for public review on February 12 as part of the mandatory environmental impact assessment process.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 5: Mr. B.V. Naidu, Chairman, Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), has been honoured with the 'IESA Sarabhai Award 2025-26,' the most prestigious recognition conferred by the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA). The award, recognising Mr. Naidu's contributions spanning over three decades to innovation, technology creation to deployment, skill development, policy formulation, developing emerging tech clusters, overall industry growth, and his instrumental role in building a resilient ESDM ecosystem to firmly establish Brand India on the global stage, was presented at the IESA Vision Summit 2026. The ceremony took place on February 26th, 2026, at The Leela Bharatiya City, Bengaluru, before a distinguished gathering of India's foremost industry leaders, policymakers, and technology visionaries.

According to IESA, the two-day event focused on the theme "Design to Manufacturing: Synergy of Product, Production and Skill". The summit gathered representatives from government, industry, and academia to address the integration of domestic chip design with scalable manufacturing capabilities.

New Delhi [India], March 2: In a massive win for India's deep-tech ecosystem, fabless semiconductor innovator VerveSemi has officially closed a $10 million Series A funding round.
