India’s ‘Operation Vikram-32’ against Trump
This is the first completely domestic chip designed for India’s Isro’s launch tool IE Rocket.
The Vikram operation is the name of making India’s first domestic chip. Isro, the country’s space agency, prepared a chip to make India superpower. How can India become superpower with this chip. India received the first 32-bit semiconductor processor chip Vikram-3201. This chip was presented to the world during the Semicon India 2025 at Yashobhoomi Congress Center in Delhi. Vikram is the 32 -bit processor chip developed by Isro’s Semiconductor Lab.
This is the first completely domestic chip designed for India’s Isro’s launch tool IE Rocket. This chip is so strong that it can withstand the difficult conditions of throwing a rocket into space. It is designed to operate at temperatures ranging from minus 55 degrees to 125 degrees Celsius. This chip will help India reduce its dependence on imports in terms of space technology.
This will significantly reduce the cost of India’s space mission. It would not be wrong to say that India laid the foundation of technological independence today. The beginning of India is considered a game exchange to become the center of semiconductors in the world.
Taiwan’s TSMC or Taiwan semiconductor production company is the world’s largest chip production company. Samsung from South Korea leads to memory chips. US’s Intel and Nvidia are large companies in design and AI chips. The world chipset is currently worth US $ 600 billion and is expected to reach US $ 1 trillion by 2030. The chipset in India was USD in 2024-25, 45 to 50 billion.
Why is India behind many countries in chip production?
- The first reason is the mysterious fire in the Mohali -based semiconductor laboratory, which left India behind in 1989.
- In the 60s, the US company Fairchild wanted to come to India, but the government went to Malaysia due to delays.
- India also had no infrastructure for the semiconductor industry.
- The semiconductor production cost in India was slightly higher than countries like China.
