India mandates registering chip imports, but move may delay shipments
- Thursday | 13th May, 2021
The Indian government has started tracking chip and processor imports to the country by making import registration mandatory for chipmakers. The new order also covers a range of electronic integrated circuits under the chip imports monitoring system (CHIMS) from August 1. Experts said that the move is in line with the Indian government’s ongoing assessment of the viability of setting up semiconductor fab in the country. The country’s Ministry of Electronics and IT recently invited expressions of interest for setting up a fab in India. Interestingly, the Indian government had in 2013 tried to attract semiconductor fab companies through various incentives but failed due to a non-existent electronics manufacturing ecosystem and relevant policies.
