India<\/strong><\/a> has taken another major step towards building a self-reliant semiconductor industry. The Government of India<\/strong>, under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY)<\/strong><\/a>, has approved <\/span>23 chip-design projects<\/strong> under the <\/span>Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme<\/strong><\/a>, marking a significant milestone for startups and MSMEs in the country\u2019s semiconductor ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n These projects, led primarily by startups and smaller enterprises, aim to develop <\/span>indigenous semiconductors and System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions<\/strong> for critical sectors such as surveillance, energy, networking, and consumer electronics. The move aligns with India\u2019s ambition to become a global hub for semiconductor design and reduce its dependence on imports.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n According to MeitY<\/strong><\/a>, the approved projects are designed to create solutions for:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Smart surveillance systems<\/strong> (cameras and monitoring devices)<\/span><\/p>\n Energy management tools<\/strong> such as meters and sensors<\/span><\/p>\n Microprocessor Intellectual Properties (IPs)<\/strong><\/p>\n Networking systems and advanced communication tools<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n To empower innovation, MeitY has also provided <\/span>72 companies with access to industry-grade Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools<\/strong>, ensuring they can work with the same professional resources used by global chipmakers.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Among the beneficiaries of the DLI Scheme is <\/span>Vervesemi Microelectronics<\/strong><\/a>, a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2017. The company is also part of India\u2019s <\/span>Chips to Startup (C2S) programme<\/strong>, reinforcing its role in building next-generation chip solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Vervesemi has built an impressive portfolio, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 110+ semiconductor IPs<\/strong><\/p>\n 25 integrated circuit SKUs<\/strong><\/p>\n 10 patents and 5 trade secrets<\/strong><\/p>\n Presence across <\/span>five global foundries and 20+ technology nodes<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Its solutions span diverse industries such as <\/span>5G, Wi-Fi 6\/7, aerospace, defense, industrial automation, and smart energy systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Notably, Vervesemi became one of the <\/span>first Indian companies to export semiconductor IPs globally<\/strong>, with its analog chain IPs already integrated into products of global manufacturers.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Vervesemi is now preparing for <\/span>volume production of ICs and SoCs by 2026\u201327<\/strong> under both DLI and C2S programs. Some of the key upcoming projects include:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n BLDC Controller ASIC (C2S Programme)<\/strong>: Targeting motor applications such as fans and appliances, with samples expected in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n Precision Motor-Control ASIC (DLI-backed):<\/strong> Designed for EVs, drones, and automation systems, with 2026 sampling.<\/span><\/p>\n Multifunction Data Acquisition ASIC<\/strong>: For space and avionics, with engineering samples due in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n Weighing Scale & Bridge Sensor ASIC<\/strong>: Supporting weighing and Force Touch devices, expected by late 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n Smart Energy Metering ASIC<\/strong>: Offering Class 0.2S precision for ultra-accurate energy measurement, samples arriving by end-2025.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Vervesemi integrates <\/span>machine learning (ML) technology<\/strong> directly into its chip architecture, delivering:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Self-healing systems<\/strong> that adapt to failures<\/span><\/p>\n Fail-safe reliability<\/strong> for mission-critical operations<\/span><\/p>\n Adaptive calibration<\/strong> to improve long-term accuracy<\/span><\/p>\n Predictive diagnostics<\/strong> for real-time monitoring<\/span><\/p>\n Higher fabrication yields and efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This unique approach allows Indian-designed chips to cater to <\/span>aerospace, defense, industrial automation, and consumer electronics<\/strong>, while setting new global benchmarks.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n According to <\/span>Smt. Sunita Verma, Group Coordinator (R&D) at MeitY<\/strong><\/a>, India is steadily progressing towards becoming a <\/span>world leader in semiconductor design<\/strong>. She envisions a future where every device, from smartphones to IoT systems, could carry a <\/span>\u201cDesigned-in-India<\/strong>\u201d chip<\/strong>, symbolizing technological independence.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Adding to this, <\/span>Rakesh Malik, Founder & CEO of Vervesemi<\/strong><\/a>, highlighted that these innovations will not only strengthen India\u2019s import substitution strategy but also showcase the country\u2019s ability to compete on the <\/span>global semiconductor stage.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, <\/span>Pratap Narayan Singh, Founder & CTO of Vervesemi, emphasized the company\u2019s focus on advanced <\/span>signal-chain design combined with ML-based features<\/strong> to ensure precision, efficiency, and resilience across industries.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The approval of 23 DLI-backed projects represents a pivotal moment for India\u2019s semiconductor journey. With companies like Vervesemi leading the charge, the country is not only enabling <\/span>homegrown innovation but also preparing to <\/span>challenge global leaders in chip design.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As India works towards achieving its <\/span>semiconductor self-reliance vision, these initiatives will accelerate the creation of cutting-edge, high-performance chips tailored for strategic sectors, consumer markets, and future technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n If successful, this could mark the beginning of a new era where the phrase <\/span>\u201cDesigned in India\u201d becomes a global standard in semiconductor excellence.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Latest Technology News | Updates<\/a> | Latest Electric Vehicle News | Updates<\/a> | Electronics News<\/a> | Mobile News | Updates<\/a> | Software Updates<\/a><\/p>\n \n Facebook<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | WhatsApp Channel<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Telegram<\/a> | Threads<\/a> | LinkedIn<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Stay informed, Stay Connected!<\/p>\n The post India Approves 23 DLI-Backed Semiconductor Projects to Empower Startups and MSMEs in Chip Design<\/a> appeared first on Before You Take<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 India has taken another major step towards building a self-reliant semiconductor industry.
