Chip wars: How India plans to trot out its old war horse, feeding it $2 billion

India is looking to revive its Semiconductor Laboratory (SCL) in Mohali, which has struggled to stay afloat due to lack of government attention and outdated technology. The government has invited bids for the modernisation of SCL, which currently produces 180-nanometer chips, and aims to upgrade it to produce more advanced chips. Despite its limitations, SCL remains a good bet for India's semiconductor needs, as it is a running facility with demonstrated capabilities in space and defense. Additionally, SCL can focus on the demand for 180nm chips while aiming to upgrade to lower nodes in the future.
