The Tamil Nadu government will unveil a ‘Semiconductor and Advanced Electronics Policy’ during the upcoming Global Investors Meet (GIM), scheduled for January 7 and 8.

Confirming this, a senior government official said these were the sunrise sectors that the State was focusing on and a policy would bring more investments into this space.

According to Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa, the focus was on developing exclusive policies for semiconductors and advanced electronics, underpinning the strategy to become a semiconductor and advanced electronics hub.

“A critical part of this strategy is preparing our labour force for industry demands. We produce the highest number of engineers and have the largest R&D output in India. Schemes like Naan Mudhalvan are pivotal in training our youth for this sector,” he added.
