Moving up the Value Chain
India is attracting a large number of VCs to invest in the domestic semiconductor design segment. The country is now becoming a preferable destination for VC firms due to factors such as availability of skilled labour, strong local market and flexible regulatory framework of the IT ministry.
Various semiconductor consuming sectors, such as digital media, consumer electronics, auto and wireless, are demanding devices with multi-features having different technologies on a single platform. Further, the growth of mobile applications is driving the combination of microprocessors and digital signal processors in order to take advantage of both technologies.
Many domestic and foreign start-ups are coming into the picture and expanding their operations in the country. Currently, it is not difficult to establish a start-up unit, as financing schemes for these start-ups are available in the country. This trend will firmly embed India on the global map in the field of semiconductor designing.
Many multinational semiconductor companies have also started either offshoring their developing and designing work to India or opening their own captive centres in the country. These designing companies in India are now moving up the value chain by moving from low end-to-end design activities to front-end design work.

Factors fuelling growth in semiconductor manufacturing The Indian Government is currently offering various incentives to the global semiconductor companies to set up their chip manufacturing plants in the country. Factors Fuelling Growth • Chip manufacturing is getting a fillip in India as various electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers and mobile phone equipment manufacturers, such as Samsung, Motorola and Nokia, are setting up their plants in India. For example, according to a Gartner report, by 2011, 10–20 per cent of mobile phone production in India could be for exports. There is potential for chip manufacturing companies to partner with these EMS players and leverage this opportunity.

Assembly Testing Mark Pack (ATMP) ATMP is the post-fabrication stage, where the chip reaches the testing lab and undergoes various tests. At this stage, faulty chips are identified and the rest are taped out for shipment. This post-fabrication stage completes the overall value chain of the semiconductor sector and complements the Indian semiconductor ecosystem.

Growing Domestic Electronics Market
India – A Cost Competitive Country
The presence of a growing domestic electronics market consisting of MP3 players, personal computers (PC), digital cameras and mobile handsets offers a great opportunity for mix-signal testing, flash testing and packaging memory devices.
ATMP units are located predominantly in cost competitive countries. India with its abundant skilled, low-cost, and competitive workforce offers tremendous opportunities for ATMP units.
Growth Prospects for ATMP Units in India
Upcoming Fabs and Manufacturing Facilities The upcoming semiconductor fabs in India may require in-house operations to carry out assembling and testing of their ICs to have full control over the manufactured ICs. At the same time, plans of some of the consumer electronic majors, such as Samsung, Nokia, LG and Dell, to set up their manufacturing plant in India, are favourable for assembling, testing and packaging of chips and final products.
