Vaishnaw emphasised that India's semiconductor ecosystem has witnessed rapid evolution over the past decade. "It's a very important historical event for us because our semiconductor industry has evolved very well in the last decade. Today, we are designing 2-nanometer chips. Our manufacturing ecosystem is coming up. Our equipment manufacturing ecosystem and material manufacturing ecosystem will also come up in the coming years.
