Digital diamond is a chip: PM Modi
On this occasion, Prime Minister Modi said that just like oil is called black gold, semiconductor chips are digital diamonds. The progress of the 21st century is based on these chips. A small chip will bring big progress and innovation in the coming times. Today the whole world is expressing confidence in India and is ready to build the future of semiconductors together with India.
He further said, when the world economy is facing many concerns and challenges related to economic interests, India has still registered a growth rate of 7.8% in the first quarter of this year. This growth is clearly visible in every sector like manufacturing, service, agriculture and construction.
Prime Minister Modi said, India is now moving rapidly from a backend role to becoming a full-stack semiconductor nation. We welcome all investors with open arms.
