India builds domestic semiconductor and AI capabilities with major investments

Semiconductors are tiny parts inside phones, cars, and computers that help them think and work.

They are like the brains of modern machines.

Making them is really hard, and only a few countries can do it.

India wants to make its own chips instead of buying them from other countries.

It has already made seven chips, including some very advanced ones.

India has approved twelve big projects to build factories for these chips.

Three of those factories have already started making products.

India is also helping people who study artificial intelligence, which means smart computer programs.

It now has more than 45,000 powerful computer parts, called GPUs, that researchers can use.

This helps Indian inventors build cool new technology at a lower cost.
