Joining the occasion were UP CM Yogi Adityanath, ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and Jitin Prasada, HCL’s Roshni Nadar, Foxconn’s Bob Chen, and key industrialists. PM Modi’s speech painted a vivid picture of India’s technological ascent and Viksit Bharat@2047.

India is hurtling towards development without brakes, the PM asserted. Recent events—from young leaders’ dialogues to AI summits—have put India on the world map. ‘We’re shoulder-to-shoulder with global leaders in processing power, advancing in software and hardware alike,’ he declared.

UP’s transformation into a semiconductor epicenter will be cemented by this HCL-Foxconn venture, promising jobs, innovation hubs, and startups. PM Modi lauded CM Yogi’s leadership in making this possible.

This is India’s Techade, with massive investments across green energy, space, digital realms, manufacturing, and AI. The Semiconductor Mission’s 10 approved projects, including four imminent production units, signal momentum.

Recalling pandemic shortages, PM Modi contrasted oil dependency of yesteryears with today’s chip supremacy. Self-reliance ensures seamless progress in digital, AI, telecom, EVs, and defense sectors.

Foxconn’s India entry sends a global message: India is trustworthy. Talent programs like Chip to Startup will skill 85,000 youth, while budget measures for mission phase two and rare earths fuel growth.

Achievements in 11 years are staggering: electronics output up 6x, exports 8x, mobiles 100x. UP leads mobile manufacturing. Double-engine rule has shifted narratives from despair to development—expressways, corridors, tourism, investments.

Gratitude to partners HCL and Foxconn, with a nod to new infra like Namo Bharat trains, capped the inspiring address.
