Abstract
This case study examines the evolution of India's semiconductor industry over six decades, focusing on key milestones, challenges, and their impacts on the country's technological landscape. Starting from the 1960s, it traces the establishment of the Semiconductor Complex Ltd. (SCL) in 1984 and the subsequent struggles due to inadequate infrastructure and bureaucratic hurdles. The liberalization of the economy in the 1990s brought an influx of companies but the industry continued to face significant issues. Renewed efforts began with the 'Make in India' initiative in 2014 and the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) in 2019, culminating in a $15.2 billion investment plan approved in 2024 to reduce reliance on imported chips. The case highlights India's journey to secure a position in the global semiconductor ecosystem, addressing both historical and current challenges.
Targeted at MBA and Executive MBA students, this case study is ideal for courses in Economics, Politics, and Business Environment. It provides a comprehensive view of quick wins, short-term ambitions, and long-term goals for developing a robust semiconductor ecosystem in India. Professors can use this case to teach about global industry structures, value chain activities, policy development, public-private partnerships, and strategic initiatives in high-tech manufacturing.
Issues
The case is structured to achieve the following teaching objectives:
- Discuss the impact of bureaucracy and policy on growth of an industry.
- Identify the drivers and restraints in the semiconductor industry.
- Describe the opportunities and challenges for developing nations like India to become a major global player in the semiconductor industry.
