New Delhi, Nov 11 || Even as India aims to become the semiconductor manufacturing hub, the industry is projected to generate a demand for one million jobs spanning across varied sectors by 2026, according to a report.

The demand includes categories, such as chip semiconductor fabrication which aims to create 300,000 jobs, while ATMP (Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging) is expected to create around 200,000 roles.

In addition, chip design, software development, system circuits, and manufacturing supply chain management are also expected to be open.

To build a robust semiconductor talent pipeline by 2026, India needs a skilled workforce spanning roles like engineers, operators, technicians, and specialists in quality control, procurement, and materials engineering, stated the report by NLB Services.

"India recognises the significance of cultivating world-class talent to foster a strong semiconductor ecosystem, understanding that high-quality education forms the bedrock of this endeavour," NLB Services CEO Sachin Alug said.

He said reskilling and upskilling are crucial to creating a talent pipeline. Further, the upskilling of 500,000 talents every year is also needed.
