Modi highlighted that the electronics revolution began over the last decade and has now expanded into semiconductor manufacturing, with mobile production rising 33 times and India becoming the world’s second-largest mobile producer and exporter.
Overall electronics production has grown nearly seven times since 2014, with exports rising eleven-fold.
He said the Sanand facility reflects strong domestic and international collaboration, including Japanese and Thai partners, and will scale production to meet ambitious targets.
He noted the emergence of a semiconductor cluster in Gujarat with firms like Micron, Kaynes, and CG Semi driving ecosystem growth.
The Prime Minister stressed the importance of full supply chain self-reliance, youth-driven innovation in AI and robotics, and skill development.
He also highlighted inclusive growth, citing tribal women trained in advanced manufacturing. Modi reaffirmed policy stability and said India is firmly on track to become a developed nation by 2047.
