The Indian government has announced a $13.3 billion fund under the Semiconductor Mission 2.0 (ISM 2.0) to develop its semiconductor sector. This initiative builds on the original ISM launched in 2021, which allocated $10 billion for greenfield investments.
Under ISM 2.0, chip design companies will receive grants and capital investment, while semiconductor materials and equipment manufacturers will qualify for a fixed 30% incentive. In the currency market, the USD/INR has increased by 0.1% to 96.26, driven by rising global crude oil prices.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has encouraged major banks to attract dollar deposits, with estimated inflows potentially reaching $30 billion by September 30. However, this initiative has drawn scrutiny from the Central Bank of the UAE.
