TNI Bureau: India has produced its first Made-in-India semiconductor chips, with three of them designed in Odisha. The chips were presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the launch of Semicon India 2025 in New Delhi on Tuesday by Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.

Two of the chips were developed at the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela, while the third was created at Parala Maharaja Engineering College (PMEC), Berhampur. The designs include a High-Performance Multiplier IC, a VG Amplifier and Sensor Circuit, and a Present Encryption Core.
