The Rajasthan government notified the Rajasthan Semiconductor Policy 2026 on March 13, 2026, marking a landmark step toward making the state a hub for India's chip manufacturing ecosystem. The policy was announced under Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma's leadership and aims to attract investment in semiconductor manufacturing, assembly, testing, marking, and packaging (ATMP) as well as Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) units. Dedicated semiconductor corridors will be developed in the Jodhpur-Pali-Marwar and Kankani industrial clusters, offering plug-and-play infrastructure, single-window clearances, and a comprehensive investor support framework. Key financial incentives include a 60 per cent capital subsidy matching the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) grant, a 5 per cent interest subvention on term loans, 100 per cent exemption from electricity duty for seven years, and a 75 per cent exemption on stamp duty and land conversion charges. Industries investing in captive renewable energy will also receive 100 per cent electricity duty exemption. Environmental protection expenditure will attract 50 per cent reimbursement. The policy targets OSAT, ATMP facilities, and sensor manufacturing plants, all critical to global semiconductor supply chains. The Jodhpur-Pali-Marwar corridor is expected to become a centre for electronics and defence-grade components. This move aligns with the Union government's India Semiconductor Mission and the broader Viksit Bharat vision of achieving self-reliance in critical technology sectors. Rajasthan, traditionally strong in mining, textiles, and tourism, is positioning itself as a new destination for high-tech manufacturing, aiming to create thousands of skilled jobs and attract billions in investment.
