Silicon Swaraj: India's ₹1.64 Lakh Cr. Semiconductor Bet Explained | The Yekjah Show | Akshay Raina

In 1989, India had a semiconductor factory. Then a fire burned it down, bureaucracy refused to rebuild it — and India fell 35 years behind. In 2026, India is betting ₹1.64 Lakh Crore ($20B+) to make sure that mistake never happens again. Chips are already shipping. Factories are being built. ASML just signed with Tata. But is India building the right chips? And will we catch the bus this time? In this video, I break down: → How a semiconductor chip is actually made (the 5-step process) → 2nm vs 28nm — what the difference is, and which one India is building → Micron, Tata, Kaynes, CG Semi — who's doing what, and where → What ISM 2.0 is and why it's a game changer → How your life changes in the next 10 years ✅ Micron has shipped its first India-made chips to Dell ✅ Kaynes Semicon has been commercially shipping since March 2026 ✅ Tata's Dholera Fab is 50% built, with first silicon runs in 2026 ✅ Sahasra Semiconductors is already exporting to Germany This is Silicon Swaraj. And it's no longer just a dream.
