Investment policy review as India prepares for Semicon India 2026

Krishnan also addressed the upcoming investment policy that will guide financial incentives for new semiconductor projects. He assured that every proposal will undergo a meticulous assessment before any government incentive is released, citing the responsibility of handling public funds.

According to Krishnan, both large domestic players and multinational corporations have expressed strong interest, drawn by India’s deep talent pool and the stability promised by a transparent policy framework.
