The fifth edition of SEMICON India 2026, India’s premier semiconductor and electronics conference and exhibition, will be held from September 17–19, 2026 at
Yashobhoomi (India International Convention & Expo Centre), New Delhi. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate the event on September 17, 2026, marking the beginning of three days of high-level deliberations, industry engagement and showcasing of India’s rapidly expanding semiconductor and electronics ecosystem.Organised jointly by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, and SEMI, the global industry association representing the
semiconductor and electronics design and manufacturing ecosystem, SEMICON India 2026 will bring together global semiconductor and electronics companies, industry leaders, policymakers, investors, researchers, academia, start-ups and students on a common platform to exchange ideas, forge partnerships and shape the future of India’s semiconductor and electronics ecosystem.With the theme “Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem,” SEMICON India 2026 marks an important milestone in India’s semiconductor journey. It comes at a time when strong policy momentum, growing industry execution and rising global demand for trusted and resilient semiconductor supply chains are converging to position India as an increasingly important player across the global semiconductor value chain.This is what makes SEMICON India 2026 much more than an exhibition. Over three days at Yashobhoomi, more than 600 exhibitors, including 300 international companies, will come together across 15,000 square metres of space, alongside 150+ renowned speakers sharing their knowledge, experience and insights.
Six country pavilions and 12 state pavilions will sit alongside a startup showcase, a student hackathon, a workforce development pavilion and a Women’s Forum, each offering a window into a different part of the semiconductor ecosystem that India has been steadily building over the past five years.Showcasing India’s Semiconductor EcosystemSEMICON India 2026 will adopt a comprehensive value-chain approach, showcasing the journey from semiconductor materials and manufacturing to advanced packaging, design,electronics and systems.
The new ‘Sand to Silicon to Systems’ Value Chain Experience willprovide visitors with an integrated view of the semiconductor ecosystem and demonstrate India’s expanding capabilities across different stages of the value chain.The exhibition will feature six country pavilions and twelve State Government pavilions, along with a dedicated Startup Pavilion, Innovation Showcase, Startup Pitch Competition, Student Hackathon and Workforce Development Pavilion. The Startup Pavilion will showcase around 40 startups, while the Workforce Development Pavilion will provide a dedicated platform for talent, skills and career opportunities in the
microelectronics sector.The event will provide an important opportunity for Indian and international companies to explore partnerships, investment opportunities, technology collaborations and supply-chain linkages, further strengthening India’s position as a trusted global semiconductor partner.Comprehensive Conference ProgrammeThe three-day conference programme will feature high-level keynotes, panel discussions and strategic sessions focusing on emerging trends and critical areas across the semiconductor and electronics ecosystem,
including semiconductor manufacturing and technology, artificialintelligence, supply-chain resilience, advanced packaging, materials and equipment, chip design, research and development, startups, innovation and talent development.The programme will also include six International Country Roundtables, a dedicated session on Women Empowerment & Leadership, a Workforce Development Session, and a special session titled “Stronger Together: Industry
Associations Collaborating for India’s ESDM Growth.”The event is expected to feature participation from leading global and Indian companies across the semiconductor and electronics ecosystem, including ASML, Applied Materials, Teradyne, Infineon, Ebara, Jabil, IBM Research, NXP, Tata Electronics, Micron, Merck KGaA, Rapidus, Lam Research, CG Power, Uno Minda, Advantest, Tokyo Electron and several other major industry players.
