Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated SEMICON India 2026 in New Delhi. Addressing the occasion and highlighting the significance of the event’s fifth edition, the Prime Minister extended warm greetings to all participants. He expressed particular gratitude to the international attendees who had traveled to India to partake in the summit. “I extend a special welcome to the guests who have come to India from abroad,” remarked Shri Modi.

Drawing a powerful parallel between the launch of Semicon India and Vishwakarma Diwas, the Prime Minister honored the nation’s centuries-old heritage of construction and creation. He pointed out the beautiful coincidence of merging traditional creative power with 21st-century technology and vision. “This is our inspiration for a self-reliant India, a Viksit Bharat,” asserted Shri Modi.

Emphasizing the nation’s rapid progress over the past 15 days, the Prime Minister listed major milestones, including discussions on inclusive finance at the Global Fintech Fest, the operationalization of a 3,000-kilometer Dedicated Freight Corridor, and a robust 7.8 percent quarterly GDP growth. He also highlighted the recent sovereign rating upgrade by a Japanese Credit Rating Agency as a testament to the nation’s soaring economic credibility. “Meaning, on one hand, India’s economy is growing, and on the other hand, the world’s trust in India is also increasing,” observed Shri Modi.

Calling upon the brilliant minds engaged in domestic and international research, the Prime Minister urged young talents to actively participate in developing advanced technologies within the country. He challenged industry leaders to spearhead local research and development, ensuring mutual growth for both businesses and the nation’s youth. “There is benefit for the industry in this, and the youth power of India will also get strength from this,” asserted Shri Modi.
