Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Thursday launched the Tamil Nadu Semiconductor Ecosystem Scheme 2026 at the Secretariat in Chennai
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Thursday launched the Tamil Nadu Semiconductor Ecosystem Scheme 2026 at the Secretariat in Chennai. The scheme aims to establish Tamil Nadu as a leading semiconductor and advanced electronics manufacturing hub in India and attract fresh investments in the semiconductor sector.
The Union government approved the Semicon India Programme 2.0 on July 15, 2026, with the objective of strengthening the entire semiconductor value chain, including chip design, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and raw materials, wafer fabrication (fabs), research and development, and skill development, said an official release.
The Tamil Nadu Semiconductor Ecosystem Scheme launched by the Chief Minister is proposed to be implemented under two categories. Under the first category, the Tamil Nadu government will provide additional incentives and support, over and above the financial assistance provided by the Union government, for investment projects approved under the Centre’s Semicon 2.0/India Semiconductor Mission scheme.
Under the second category, the State government will provide support and incentives to eligible investment projects that may not fall under the Centre’s scheme but are considered important for strengthening Tamil Nadu’s semiconductor ecosystem, the release added.
Minister for Industries S. Keerthana, Chief Secretary M. Sai Kumar, Additional Chief Secretary to the Industries, Investment Promotion and Commerce S. Vijayakumar, and Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Guidance Tamil Nadu Deepak Jacob, Executive Director of Guidance Tamil Nadu Pallavi Varma were present.
