• Semiconductor supply chain infrastructure

Key Objectives

• Reduce dependency on foreign chip imports
• Strengthen India's electronics and EV ecosystem
• Empower semiconductor design startups
• Support R&D in chip fabrication and EDA tools
• Build skilled talent and innovation pipeline

One of the most impactful semiconductor accelerator programs is the Semiconductor Future 2025 – Bharat Byte Semiconductor Accelerator.

A collaborative initiative by

• Cadence (Technical partner & CSR supporter)
• AIC IIT Delhi & FITT-IIT Delhi
• Supported by AIM – NITI Aayog

Purpose

• Scale semiconductor products in India

Open to a wide range of innovators:

• Early-stage Startups
• Student teams & developers
• Researchers
• Individual innovators
• Deep-tech entrepreneurs

The scheme prioritizes next-generation semiconductor technologies:

• AI & Edge computing for chip design
• AI-enabled semiconductor design tools
• AI-driven supply chain & yield forecasting
• Low-power, sustainable chip manufacturing
• RISC-V architecture-based chip development

Startups selected under this accelerator receive premium, high-value benefits that are extremely rare in India:

• 1
  Seed Funding

  • Grant up to ₹10 Lakhs per startup
  • To support prototype development & scaling
• 2
  Incubation

  • 2 years free incubation at AIC Sonepat (IIT Delhi incubator)
• 3
  Technical Support

  • Access to EDA tools
  • Access to advanced semiconductor labs
  • Direct mentorship from Cadence experts, IIT faculty, researchers
• 4
  Networking

  • Exposure to government bodies
  • Meetings with investors
  • Specialized training workshops

• Business registration certificate
• Detailed pitch deck / business plan
• Traction proof (sales, prototype, demo, etc.)
• Last fiscal year's financial statements
• IP / patent documents (if applicable)
• Government approvals (if required)

The India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) manages large-scale government incentives under:

• Semiconductor Fabrication Scheme
• Display Manufacturing Scheme
• Compound Semiconductors & Sensors Scheme
• Semiconductor DLI Scheme (Design Linked Incentive)
• Electronics manufacturing ecosystem support

Mission ISM Offers

• Capital support
• Infrastructure subsidies
• Technology access
• R&D support
• Market connections

• Semiconductor manufacturers
• Chip fabrication units
• Compound semiconductor firms
• Design & fabless startups (under DLI)
• Research institutions
• Integrated device manufacturers (IDMs)
• Indian registered companies

• Detailed Project Report (DPR)
• Company incorporation documents
• MoA / AoA / LLP agreement
• Financial projections (5–7 years)
• Technology partner agreements
• Land documents
• Environmental compliance certificates
• Capex estimates
• Technical diagrams

Subsidy support is up to 50% of project cost, one of the highest in Indian manufacturing policy history.

Examples

• A ₹10,000 crore semiconductor fab → ₹5,000 crore subsidy
• A ₹1,000 crore display fab → ₹500 crore subsidy

Yes. India's Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme supports:

• Chip design startups
• Fabless companies
• EDA tool-driven innovation
• Semiconductor IP development

DLI Support Includes

• Up to ₹30 crore per company
• Design infrastructure access
• EDA licenses & cloud tools

• Global chip demand is soaring
• India imports over 85% of its semiconductor needs
• EV, IoT, AI, and 5G sectors demand indigenous chips
• Digital India mission requires chip self-reliance

Programs like Semiconductor Future boost early-stage innovation essential for long-term manufacturing success.

We specialize in helping:

• Semiconductor startups
• Fabless chip design firms
• Manufacturing companies
• Deep-tech researchers
• MSMEs entering semiconductor supply chain

Our support includes
