India's semiconductor push is creating an opening for companies outside the traditional chipmaking chain, including advanced materials suppliers that could serve electronics, sensor, battery, and semiconductor-related applications before the country's own wafer fabrication ecosystem matures.

Andhra Pradesh is positioning itself as a semiconductor packaging hub, focusing on an entry point into the chip supply chain while wafer fabrication remains a long-term goal. Officials said packaging activities are already underway, as Indian states used Computex in Taipei to attract Taiwanese electronics and AI supply chain investment.
