Netherlands :23/1/26: Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, visited the headquarters of ASML in Veldhoven, Netherlands, today.

Speaking during the visit, the Minister said that India has started a new semiconductor industry and that lithography, which involves printing the circuit on the wafer, is the most complex and precision-intensive process in the entire semiconductor manufacturing chain.

The Minister informed that ASML is the world’s leading provider of lithographic tools and added that ASML enables practically every chip manufactured in the world. “Our fab in Dholera will be using ASML equipment. So I have come here to visit and understand their technology,” Shri Vaishnaw said.

The Minister emphasised that ASML coming to India would be a significant development, noting that several equipment manufacturers from across the world are now looking to establish a base in India due to the country’s design capabilities, large talent pool, and the consistent policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
