— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) March 31, 2026Mr. Modi said India's decision to join the Pax Silica initiative aims to strengthen the supply of critical minerals.
Calling the development a moment of pride as an Indian company has joined the global semiconductor supply chain, Mr. Modi said this is not just the time of economic competition but a time to shape the future tech landscape.
"With the commencement of production in this project, India is further strengthening its role as a reliable semiconductor supplier in the global market. In a sense, a new bridge has emerged today between Sanand and Silicon Valley; the plant in Sanand is now supplying Intelligent Power Modules to a company based in California," the Prime Minister added.
Mr. Modi said India launched the Semiconductor Mission in 2021, which is not just an industrial policy but a declaration of India's confidence.
"India launched Semiconductor Mission 2 in the last budget to make the country self-reliant in every sector of production", he added.
