The India head of L&T Semiconductors said the company is aligning its corporate strategy with the largest global macro trends [1].
This strategic shift aims to position India as a central player in the global semiconductor and electronics value chain. By leveraging international demand, the company seeks to transition the domestic industry from local consumption to a global export hub.
During an interview with NDTV, the executive said he endorses a “Make in India for the world” approach [1]. This vision focuses on creating a robust infrastructure capable of supporting high-volume semiconductor production for international markets.
The company intends to capitalize on the increasing global demand for chips, a critical component for everything from smartphones to automotive systems [1]. By aligning with macro trends, L&T Semiconductors aims to ensure that the domestic ecosystem can compete with established hubs in East Asia.
Developing a comprehensive electronics value chain involves not only manufacturing, but also design and packaging [1]. The company's strategy emphasizes the need for India to move beyond assembly and into the higher-value stages of semiconductor production.
This alignment is intended to attract further investment and technical expertise to the region [1]. The goal is to ensure that the Indian semiconductor industry is not merely a regional participant, but a key link in the worldwide supply chain.
““Make in India for the world””
L&T Semiconductors' pivot toward global macro trends reflects a broader Indian industrial policy to reduce reliance on imports and establish the country as a semiconductor powerhouse. By focusing on a 'for the world' export model, the company is attempting to scale its operations to meet international standards, which is essential for attracting the foreign direct investment and technical partnerships required for high-end chip fabrication.
