Independence Day 2025 / From Made in India chips to 6G, PM Modi made big announcements, the tech sector will change

Independence Day 2025: On the occasion of India's 79th Independence Day on August 15, 2025, from the ramparts of the Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made several important announcements towards self-reliance in the technological sector, reiterating the resolve for a 'developed India'. These include Made in India semiconductor chips to next generation 6G communication technology and India's growing share in the gaming sector.

Made in India Semiconductor Chips: A New Era

PM Modi announced that semiconductor chips designed and manufactured in India will be available by the end of this year. These chips will be produced at state-of-the-art design facilities set up in Noida and Bengaluru. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has recently inaugurated chip design centers in both these cities, where chips based on 3 nanometer architecture will be designed. This is an important step for India in global semiconductor innovation.

India's first design center will produce 3nm chips, making India one of the few countries that are self-reliant in cutting-edge semiconductor technology. Earlier, 7nm and 5nm chips have been designed in India, and now with 3nm chips, India is moving rapidly towards global technological leadership.

Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved four new semiconductor projects, with a total cost of Rs 4594 crore. Two of these projects will be set up in Odisha, one in Punjab and one in Andhra Pradesh. These projects will help make India a major hub in semiconductor production.

6G Technology: Preparation in Mission Mode

The Prime Minister talked about taking the development of 6G technology forward in mission mode. This next generation communication technology will play an important role in making India a leader in global digital connectivity. The PM said, "India is working in mission mode in 6G technology. Our goal is that India should not only use it, but also develop it." This move is an important step towards making India a leader in the next technological era after 5G.

India's new identity in the gaming sector

PM Modi emphasized India's immense potential in the gaming sector. He said that India's rich cultural and historical heritage can create new opportunities in the gaming industry. Currently, foreign companies are majorly making profits in the global gaming market, but India can make its mark in this field.

Modi called upon the youth, children and IT professionals to touch new heights in the world of gaming. He said, "We want games made in India to attract children from all over the world. Our IT and AI professionals should rule the gaming world." This vision is an important step towards establishing India as a global hub in gaming development and design.

Design in India, Design for the World

Reiterating the mantra of 'Design in India', the Prime Minister said that technology designed in India will not only meet the needs of the country but will also be for the global market. From semiconductor chips to gaming and 6G, India's focus is on technologies that are globally competitive.

Towards becoming a global leader in AI

PM Modi pledged to make India a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). He said that India has immense potential in areas like AI and data science. Given the talent and technical capability of Indian youth, India can soon become a major hub of AI innovation.
