India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) – Economic Survey 2025-26 MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers
Solve 5 India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) – Economic Survey 2025-26 questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.
Practice questions
Q1Consider the following pairs: 1. Silicon fabrication units — approved project category 2. Advanced and memory packaging facilities — approved project category 3. Design Linked Incentive scheme — support for chip-design startups 4. Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme — outlay raised to ₹76,000 crore How many pairs are correctly matched?
Pairs 1 and 2 correctly identify approved project categories, and pair 3 correctly links the Design Linked Incentive scheme with chip-design startups. Pair 4 is mismatched because the electronics components scheme's proposed enhanced outlay is ₹40,000 crore; ₹76,000 crore is the ISM incentive framework. Thus, exactly three pairs are correct.
Q2Consider the following statements about the India Semiconductor Mission: 1. Its ₹76,000 crore incentive framework offers fiscal support of up to 50% for silicon fabs, compound semiconductor facilities and assembly-testing units. 2. The Design Linked Incentive scheme supports chip-design startups. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Both statements are correct. The mission is backed by a ₹76,000 crore incentive framework that can provide up to 50% fiscal support for the specified fabrication and assembly-testing categories. Separately, the Design Linked Incentive scheme is the mission component directed at supporting chip-design startups.
Q3As of December 2025, which combination correctly states the number of approved semiconductor projects, the number of states covered, and their approximate total investment under the India Semiconductor Mission?
Official information for December 2025 records 10 approved ISM projects spread across 6 states, with total investment of approximately ₹1.60 lakh crore. The ₹76,000 crore figure instead denotes the mission's incentive framework, so option A alone keeps all three quantities correctly paired.
Q4Which one of the following is NOT correctly associated with India Semiconductor Mission 2.0?
ISM 2.0 focuses on making equipment and materials in India, developing full-stack Indian semiconductor intellectual property, strengthening supply chains, and supporting industry-led research and training. No official goal cited here promises that every semiconductor import will end by 2027, making option D the incorrect association.
Q5What capability is India expected to achieve by 2029 under the semiconductor mission's stated outlook?
The stated 2029 outlook is capability-based: India is expected to be able to design and manufacture chips required for nearly 70-75% of domestic applications. It is neither a promise to eliminate every electronics import nor a target to serve the entire global chip market.
