India Faces Tech and Capital Hurdles in 2 nm Chip Roadmap

India Faces Tech and Capital Hurdles in 2 nm Chip Roadmap

India wants to make smaller and more advanced computer chips, going from 28 nm to 2 nm.

But there are big challenges.

First, they need the right technology and a lot of money.

They also need skilled workers and special machines called lithography equipment.

Some people think India should focus on making older, simpler chips first to build a strong base.

Others think India should aim for the most advanced chips right away, like Japan is doing.

The government says they will focus on research and not just buy technology from other countries.

Right now, most computer chips used are older types, so India wants to be a leader in making those while also working towards making the newest chips.
