New Delhi [India], March 25 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for establishing India as a hub for emerging technologies.
During the India Chip Ltd ceremony in Greater Noida, the Chief Minister said that under the Prime Minister's guidance, Jewar is emerging as a key centre for both the state and the nation. He emphasised that the establishment of the state's first semiconductor unit marks a significant step in advancing this vision.
'We are grateful to the Prime Minister, who has established the country as a new hub for emerging technologies. For the past four days, the entire country and the world have gathered at the Bharat Mandapam AI Impact Summit. Through this AI Impact Summit, we, on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh, express our heartfelt gratitude for the vision it has provided for a brighter future for India and for making life easier and more accessible for humanity,' said CM Yogi.
'During the tenure of previous governments, this region witnessed gunfire, kidnappings, and chaos, to the extent that people were unable to leave their homes after sunset. Today, under the guidance of the Prime Minister, Jewar is emerging as a key centre not only for Uttar Pradesh but also for India, and the state's first semiconductor unit has been established here to take this new vision forward,' he added.
Earlier, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister of State Jitin Prasada, and CM Yogi Adityanath, along with other dignitaries, attended the groundbreaking ceremony of India Chip Limited held in Greater Noida.
Prime Minister Modi performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the HCL-Foxconn joint venture project, India Chip Pvt Ltd, in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority area via video conferencing.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that wherever a semiconductor unit is established, design centres emerge, startup ecosystems develop, and innovation accelerates. He also referred to the India AI Impact Summit, which concluded on the same day.
'Today, India is rapidly progressing towards its goal of development. I have also said from the Red Fort that India has no time to pause or slow down. Since the beginning of 2026, India has accelerated its progress, and this week is proving to be historic for India,' he said.
The Prime Minister described the current decade as a 'tech-ade' for India. 'Whatever India is doing in the field of technology in this decade will become the basis of our strength in the 21st century. India may have started its journey in the semiconductor sector late, but today, we are progressing at a rapid pace. India has so far approved 10 semiconductor fabrication and packaging projects under its Semiconductor Mission. Four of these units are set to commence production very soon.'
He added that India is making unprecedented investments in technologies that will shape the future of humanity. (ANI)
