Vikram 32-bit Chip Launch and Presented to PM Modi at Semicon India 2025
A revolutionary Vikram 32-bit chip was given to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Semicon India-2025. This marks a major milestone for India’s capabilities in semiconductor manufacturing. This presentation demonstrates India’s increasing prowess at developing its own chip technology and its growing position within the semiconductor industry.
Vikram’s 32-bit chip is a significant achievement for India in its push towards semiconductor independence, as it demonstrates the country’s capability to design and create advanced microprocessor technologies domestically. The development is in line with India’s goal of becoming a hub for the design and manufacture of semiconductors.
Semicon India, a prestigious event that brings together government officials, industry leaders, and experts in semiconductor technology to discuss India’s future, showcased the chip. This presentation highlights the strategic significance of the technological breakthrough to India’s digital infrastructure as well as economic growth.

Vikram 32-bit is designed to be used in a wide range of applications, such as telecommunications and automotive. It can also be applied to consumer electronics. The development of this indigenous technology reduces India’s dependency on imported semiconductors and increases the country’s technological autonomy.
Semicon India 2020 is taking place at a moment when India invests heavily in its semiconductor infrastructure and seeks to lure global chip makers to set up operations there. The Indian government announced several incentives and initiatives to increase domestic semiconductor production.
The achievement forms part of India’s strategy to be a leading player in global semiconductor supply chains, reduce reliance on imported products, and foster innovation in key technology sectors.
