Q. What are the major achievements of the government over the last 9 years?
<\/strong>
A. The fundamental change that the Prime Minister brought was shifting the political discourse - from keeping the poor as vote bank to sincerely and dedicatedly working towards permanent transformation in people's lives.
A few examples are the number of houses or electricity and fresh tap water connections that have been added over these years. Four crore pucca houses have been constructed over these years, which means a population of 20 crore people now have a permanent roof over their head. That is equivalent to the population of Japan.
Similarly, 12 crore fresh water tap connections means covering 60 crore people, which is more than the population of Europe. That is the magnitude of growth. That is a part of the social infrastructure growth.
Now, about economic infrastructure. We have constructed 74 airports in the last 9 years. Nearly 37,000 kilometers of railway electrification has been done. We have 21 world-class trains running in India and 111 water-ways. Sector after sector, the focus has been to build an economy which is productive and provides more opportunities to our people or entrepreneurs, industries and micro, medium and small scale enterprises.
Q. How was your recent US visit? Which companies did you meet? Where does India’s semiconductor ecosystem stand as of today?<\/strong>
A. Our focus has been on creating the ecosystem. In the recent US visit, I met with about 45 companies and 2 universities. They very candidly and sincerely advised us to focus on building the ecosystem and making sure that the 200-250 gases and chemicals industries, which require extremely high speciality, purity and precise composition are available in India. We have focused on the quality of electricity, getting the logistics right and making sure that the talent for semiconductor fabrication is in place.
The size of this industry is going to double in the next seven years - from current $650 billion to over 1 trillion. In the next seven years, industry will need over one million qualified and talented people to work in these semiconductor industries. India will become the semiconductor capital due to a variety of factors. And for that, we have to make sure that the ecosystem is in place by the time the first fabrication unit comes along.
Q. What are some of the companies that you met during the US tour?
<\/strong>
A. Our delegation met Applied Materials, Intel, AMD, DuPont, Cadence, IBM, Western Digital, Merck, TOK (Tokyo Ohka Kogyo), NEC, Renesas, LAM, and many other companies.
Q. What makes Dholera optimal for setting up semiconductor fabrication units?
<\/strong>
A. Gujarat government has done a lot to develop Dholera as a major centre for hi tech manufacturing.
It has 10,000 acres marked for semiconductor units, about 20,000 MW green energy. One fabrication unit needs about 300 - 500 MW.
There are five ports servicing the area. There is a very evolved pharmaceutical and chemical industry in Gujarat. Ability to handle speciality chemicals and gases is available there.
There will be multiple grids feeding power to Dholera units, so the quality of power is good. Now, everybody knows that ultra-pure water has to be manufactured. The international airports in vicinity and IIT Gandhinagar add more value.
Q. The government has re-opened the window for applicants to submit new applications to set up semiconductor fabrication units. What is the thought process there?
<\/strong>
A. The three proposals that we had initially are in the final stages of being evaluated. They can also move to the new window that we have announced.
We modified the Indian Semiconductor Mission scheme last October. That was based on the experience and the advice that we have got from experts who are in ISM.
Almost all of them suggested that the global semiconductor industry is going to have about 50-60% mature nodes and the rest would be advanced nodes. The mature nodes would be serving the electric vehicles, telecom, consumer and power electronics industries.
The leading nodes will be serving some specialised chips and smartphones, the compute power and memory chips which are going into data centres. The growth which was earlier primarily in compute and mobile devices<\/a> is now equalled by the growth in EV and telecom. With 5G proliferating all over the world, the growth in telecom is as big as the growth in electronics.
So the advice we got is that we should cover the entire spectrum and not limit our program to only 28 nanometres and smaller nodes. So we modified it in October. The original program was not applicable to the first three applicants because the process had closed on February 15. If any one of them wants to migrate to a new plan, they can do so.
Q. One of the original proposals was from the Vedanta-Foxconn JV. There are reports about some issues in the JV and that they would not be eligible for the incentives. Your thoughts?
<\/strong>
A. An expert team of technical and financial experts are evaluating every proposal. This is a new industry for India. That work is going on. We should be able to give you some firm information within the next three to four weeks.
Q. What are your expectations from the reopening of the window for applicants under the India Semiconductor Mission<\/a>?
<\/strong>
A. Some major players are looking at India as the next destination. Certainly, some players would like to come in the value addition category to begin with and then come with the fabrication part.
Q. Is there a revision in the incentive structure or the total incentives being offered under ISM, now that the window has been re-opened?
<\/strong>
A. On the total amount of incentives, we will take a call once we reach the initial limit of $10 billion that we set in December 2021. This is a 20-year program, and this is just the first step.
Q. The government has also come up with the PLI 2.0 scheme for IT hardware. Will the likes of Apple<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> be applying for this?
<\/strong>
A. Apple and Samsung are both present now in India and expanding. Their focus is now on getting the component ecosystem. As always, every industry starts with assembly activities. Once volume is created, then the component ecosystem starts coming in. So, we are at that phase in the development of electronics manufacturing. Our focus should be to make sure that we should go deep down into the ecosystem to have a strong foundation for rapid growth.

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.
Q. What new can we expect in the Digital India Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The industry structure has totally changed in the last 20 years. The applications which we see today were not there. The question now is how we should create a framework that caters to almost ubiquitous internet connectivity and related issues like user harm, protection of users and privacy.
The Digital India Bill will also deal with accountability of social media platforms.
The third aspect is on emerging technologies. The entire world is today concerned about how AI will affect societies and economies. Our challenge is to create that balance, where we take the good things out of this new technology and limit the potential harm that it can cause.
Now, technology evolves very rapidly. So, like the DPDP bill, instead of keeping it prescriptive, we will state out the principles based on which companies can evaluate what to do.
Q. Is there a thought to do away with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act which provides immunity to internet intermediaries for third party content?
<\/strong>
A. Social media platforms have to be accountable for what they are publishing. See, India has multiple languages, cultures and other aspects which makes her a remarkably diverse country. We need the platforms to be sensitive to our society's needs. Accountability has to be there.
Q. What are your views on the recent cases of people getting spam calls and messages on instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp?
<\/strong>
A. Many steps have been taken to prevent cyber frauds. The first is that if somebody's identity has been used to take a connection fraudulently, that can be checked and be disconnected.
The second is that if somebody is giving wrong information and taking a connection, then that is also disconnected. The first and second are connected to cyber fraud.
The next step is that if somebody is calling you, you should have the right to know who is calling. Right now, it is in the works. Once that happens, a significant part of the cyber fraud will reduce.
Q. How do you plan to maintain privacy for users as well as checking these frauds, especially with respect to over-the-top calling and messaging apps and the know-your-customer norms for them?
<\/strong>
A. The privacy of the person who receives the call is as important as someone who calls. If somebody is intruding into your private space, you have a right to know who that person is before you respond to that message or take that call. And of course, whatever we do will have to pass the privacy test.
Q. The government has taken a huge step by converting Vodafone Idea’s dues into equity. But there has been no promoter infusion or external capital raise so far. Is that a worry?
<\/strong>
A. The promoters have been continuously telling us that they are working on it. We hope some results of the efforts of the promoters are out soon. But yes, we are concerned. This delay is really worrying us.

印度将专注于创造一个支持性的生态系统半导体制造业在全国第一,不仅制造单元,根据联盟技术、铁路、电信部长Ashwini Vaishnaw。政府准备最新的草案数字印度法案谘询公众很快就会被释放,而数字个人数据保护法案在季风会话将在议会,他告诉Aashish雅利安人,Romit古在涵盖内容广泛的采访中。他补充说,推迟沃达丰想法的筹款是一个担心。编辑摘录。
问:什么是政府的主要成就在过去的9年?
答:总理带来的根本性的改变将政治话语——从保持穷人投票银行真诚和专门致力于永久转换在人们的生活中。
几个例子是房屋的数量或电力和新鲜自来水连接这些年来已经添加。四个卢比的中国娃娃房屋建造这些年来,这意味着人口20卢比的人现在有一个永久的屋顶在他们的头上。这相当于日本的人口。
同样,12卢比的淡水利用连接意味着覆盖60卢比的人来说,这比欧洲的人口。这是增长的大小。这是一个社会基础设施增长的一部分。
现在,关于经济基础设施。我们已经建造了74个机场在过去9年。近37000公里的铁路电气化已经完成。我们在印度有21个世界级的列车和111航道。部门后,部门,重点是建立一个经济生产和提供更多的机会,我们的人民或企业家、行业和微观、中小规模企业。
问:你最近我们参观吗?你遇到什么公司?印度的半导体生态系统今天站在哪里?
答:我们的重点是创建生态系统。在最近的美国访问,我会见了大约45公司和2所大学。他们非常坦率和真诚地建议我们关注建筑生态系统,并确保200 - 250年的气体和化学品行业,需要极高的专业,纯度和精确的成分在印度是可用的。我们专注于电能的质量,正确的物流,并确保半导体制造的人才。
这个行业的规模将翻倍在未来七年,从目前的6500亿到1万亿美元。在接下来的七年,行业将需要超过一百万个合格的和有才华的人在这些半导体行业工作。印度将成为半导体资本由于各种各样的因素。为此,我们必须确保生态系统是在第一个制造单元出现的时间。
问:什么是你见过的一些公司在美国旅游吗?
答:我们代表团会见了应用材料,Intel、AMD、杜邦、节奏、IBM、西部数据公司,默克,托托(东京Ohka Kogyo), NEC,瑞萨,LAM和许多其他公司。
问:是什么让Dholera最佳设置半导体制造单位吗?
a .古吉拉特邦政府做了很多开发Dholera作为主要的高科技制造业中心。
它有10000英亩标记为半导体单位,大约20000兆瓦的绿色能源。一个制造单元需要大约300 - 500兆瓦。
有五个港口服务。有一个非常进化制药和化工在古吉拉特邦。能够处理特种化学品和气体是可用的。
将会有多个电网输送功率Dholera单位,所以电力的质量是好的。现在,每个人都知道超纯水制造。国际机场附近,IIT Gandhinagar添加更多的价值。
问:政府已经重新申请人提交新的应用程序的窗口设置半导体制造单位。思维过程是什么?
答:我们最初的三个建议在被评估的最后阶段。他们还可以搬到新窗口,我们已宣布。
我们修改了去年10月印度半导体的任务计划。这是基于经验和专家的建议,我们必须在ISM。
几乎所有人认为全球半导体行业将有50 - 60%成熟的节点,其余的将先进的节点。成熟的节点将会服务于电动汽车,电信、消费和电力电子行业。
主要节点将提供一些专门的芯片和智能手机的计算能力和内存芯片进入数据中心。早期的增长主要是在计算和移动设备现在刚好与电动汽车的增长和电信。随着5 g的世界各地扩散,电信的增长和增长的电子一样大。
所以我们得到的建议是,我们应该覆盖整个频谱,而不是限制我们的节目只有28纳米和较小的节点。在10月份我们修改它。原计划并不适用于前三个申请者,因为关闭了2月15日。如果其中任何一个想要迁移到一个新计划,他们可以这样做。
问:最初的提案之一是Vedanta-Foxconn合资企业。有报道在合资公司中的一些问题,他们不会有资格获得激励。你的想法呢?
答:专家团队的技术和金融专家评估每一个提案。这是印度的一个新产业。那项工作。我们应该能够给你一些公司信息在未来三到四个星期。
问:什么是你的期望重新开放的窗口下的申请人印度半导体的使命吗?
答:一些主要参与者看印度是下一个目的地。当然,一些球员想进来的价值开始添加类别,然后一起制造的部分。
问:是否有一个修订的激励结构或总促销在ISM,现在已经重新窗吗?
答:激励的总量,我们将调用一旦我们达到初始极限我们设定在2021年12月的100亿美元。这是一个20年的程序,这只是第一步。
问:政府还拿出PLI 2.0方案硬件。会喜欢的苹果和三星这是申请?
答:苹果和三星都是现在在印度和扩大。他们的重点现在组成的生态系统。像往常一样,每一个行业开始装配活动。一旦创建卷,然后组件生态系统开始。所以,我们在电子制造业的发展阶段。我们的重点应该是确保我们要深入到生态系统快速发展的坚实基础。
读也
什么是数字印度比尔的地位,以及数字个人数据保护法案和电信帐单吗?
答:数字个人数据保护法案将在议会的季风会话。草案…几乎准备好了。我们应该能够将其咨询在接下来的几周。
什么新会在数字印度比尔?
a .产业结构完全改变了过去20年。没有我们今天所看到的应用程序。现在的问题是我们应该如何创建一个框架,迎合几乎无处不在的互联网连接和相关用户的危害等问题,用户和隐私的保护。
印度数字法案也将处理责任的社交媒体平台。
第三个方面是对新兴技术。今天整个世界关注AI将如何影响社会和经济。我们面临的挑战是创造平衡,我们把好东西拿出来的新技术和限制会造成潜在的危害。
现在,技术的发展非常迅速。像DPDP法案,而不是把它规定,我们将国家原则基于哪些公司可以评估该做什么。
问:有认为信息技术法案的废除Section 79为第三方提供免疫网络中介内容?
答:社会媒体平台必须对他们负责出版。看,印度有多种语言,文化和其他方面使她非常多样化的国家。我们需要平台对我们的社会的需要。问责制必须有。
问:你的意见是什么人的最近的情况下让垃圾邮件等即时消息应用程序调用和消息WhatsApp吗?
答:许多已采取措施来预防网络诈骗。首先,如果有人的身份已经被用于欺诈连接,可以检查和断开连接。
第二,如果有人给错误的信息和连接,那么这也是断开连接。第一和第二连接到网络欺诈。
下一步是,如果有人给你打电话,你应该有权知道是谁来电。现在,在工作。一旦发生这种情况,网络欺诈行为将减少的重要组成部分。
问:你如何计划保持隐私的用户以及检查这些骗子,尤其是言过其实的调用和消息传递应用程序和了解你的客户规范?
答:接收电话的人的隐私一样重要的人的电话。如果有人闯入你的私人空间,你有权利知道这个人是谁之前,你回复消息或电话。当然,无论我们做什么必须通过隐私测试。
问:政府已经迈出了巨大的一步,沃达丰(Vodafone)想法的费转化为股本。但没有启动子注入或外部资本筹集到目前为止。这是担心吗?
的启动子不断告诉我们,他们正在研究它。我们希望一些发起人的努力的结果。但是是的,我们担心。这种延迟是真的担心我们。

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.
Q. What new can we expect in the Digital India Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The industry structure has totally changed in the last 20 years. The applications which we see today were not there. The question now is how we should create a framework that caters to almost ubiquitous internet connectivity and related issues like user harm, protection of users and privacy.
The Digital India Bill will also deal with accountability of social media platforms.
The third aspect is on emerging technologies. The entire world is today concerned about how AI will affect societies and economies. Our challenge is to create that balance, where we take the good things out of this new technology and limit the potential harm that it can cause.
Now, technology evolves very rapidly. So, like the DPDP bill, instead of keeping it prescriptive, we will state out the principles based on which companies can evaluate what to do.
Q. Is there a thought to do away with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act which provides immunity to internet intermediaries for third party content?
<\/strong>
A. Social media platforms have to be accountable for what they are publishing. See, India has multiple languages, cultures and other aspects which makes her a remarkably diverse country. We need the platforms to be sensitive to our society's needs. Accountability has to be there.
Q. What are your views on the recent cases of people getting spam calls and messages on instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp?
<\/strong>
A. Many steps have been taken to prevent cyber frauds. The first is that if somebody's identity has been used to take a connection fraudulently, that can be checked and be disconnected.
The second is that if somebody is giving wrong information and taking a connection, then that is also disconnected. The first and second are connected to cyber fraud.
The next step is that if somebody is calling you, you should have the right to know who is calling. Right now, it is in the works. Once that happens, a significant part of the cyber fraud will reduce.
Q. How do you plan to maintain privacy for users as well as checking these frauds, especially with respect to over-the-top calling and messaging apps and the know-your-customer norms for them?
<\/strong>
A. The privacy of the person who receives the call is as important as someone who calls. If somebody is intruding into your private space, you have a right to know who that person is before you respond to that message or take that call. And of course, whatever we do will have to pass the privacy test.
Q. The government has taken a huge step by converting Vodafone Idea’s dues into equity. But there has been no promoter infusion or external capital raise so far. Is that a worry?
<\/strong>
A. The promoters have been continuously telling us that they are working on it. We hope some results of the efforts of the promoters are out soon. But yes, we are concerned. This delay is really worrying us.

印度将专注于创造一个支持性的生态系统半导体制造业在全国第一,不仅制造单元,根据联盟技术、铁路、电信部长Ashwini Vaishnaw。政府准备最新的草案数字印度法案谘询公众很快就会被释放,而数字个人数据保护法案在季风会话将在议会,他告诉Aashish雅利安人,Romit古在涵盖内容广泛的采访中。他补充说,推迟沃达丰想法的筹款是一个担心。编辑摘录。
问:什么是政府的主要成就在过去的9年?
答:总理带来的根本性的改变将政治话语——从保持穷人投票银行真诚和专门致力于永久转换在人们的生活中。
几个例子是房屋的数量或电力和新鲜自来水连接这些年来已经添加。四个卢比的中国娃娃房屋建造这些年来,这意味着人口20卢比的人现在有一个永久的屋顶在他们的头上。这相当于日本的人口。
同样,12卢比的淡水利用连接意味着覆盖60卢比的人来说,这比欧洲的人口。这是增长的大小。这是一个社会基础设施增长的一部分。
现在,关于经济基础设施。我们已经建造了74个机场在过去9年。近37000公里的铁路电气化已经完成。我们在印度有21个世界级的列车和111航道。部门后,部门,重点是建立一个经济生产和提供更多的机会,我们的人民或企业家、行业和微观、中小规模企业。
问:你最近我们参观吗?你遇到什么公司?印度的半导体生态系统今天站在哪里?
答:我们的重点是创建生态系统。在最近的美国访问,我会见了大约45公司和2所大学。他们非常坦率和真诚地建议我们关注建筑生态系统,并确保200 - 250年的气体和化学品行业,需要极高的专业,纯度和精确的成分在印度是可用的。我们专注于电能的质量,正确的物流,并确保半导体制造的人才。
这个行业的规模将翻倍在未来七年,从目前的6500亿到1万亿美元。在接下来的七年,行业将需要超过一百万个合格的和有才华的人在这些半导体行业工作。印度将成为半导体资本由于各种各样的因素。为此,我们必须确保生态系统是在第一个制造单元出现的时间。
问:什么是你见过的一些公司在美国旅游吗?
答:我们代表团会见了应用材料,Intel、AMD、杜邦、节奏、IBM、西部数据公司,默克,托托(东京Ohka Kogyo), NEC,瑞萨,LAM和许多其他公司。
问:是什么让Dholera最佳设置半导体制造单位吗?
a .古吉拉特邦政府做了很多开发Dholera作为主要的高科技制造业中心。
它有10000英亩标记为半导体单位,大约20000兆瓦的绿色能源。一个制造单元需要大约300 - 500兆瓦。
有五个港口服务。有一个非常进化制药和化工在古吉拉特邦。能够处理特种化学品和气体是可用的。
将会有多个电网输送功率Dholera单位,所以电力的质量是好的。现在,每个人都知道超纯水制造。国际机场附近,IIT Gandhinagar添加更多的价值。
问:政府已经重新申请人提交新的应用程序的窗口设置半导体制造单位。思维过程是什么?
答:我们最初的三个建议在被评估的最后阶段。他们还可以搬到新窗口,我们已宣布。
我们修改了去年10月印度半导体的任务计划。这是基于经验和专家的建议,我们必须在ISM。
几乎所有人认为全球半导体行业将有50 - 60%成熟的节点,其余的将先进的节点。成熟的节点将会服务于电动汽车,电信、消费和电力电子行业。
主要节点将提供一些专门的芯片和智能手机的计算能力和内存芯片进入数据中心。早期的增长主要是在计算和移动设备现在刚好与电动汽车的增长和电信。随着5 g的世界各地扩散,电信的增长和增长的电子一样大。
所以我们得到的建议是,我们应该覆盖整个频谱,而不是限制我们的节目只有28纳米和较小的节点。在10月份我们修改它。原计划并不适用于前三个申请者,因为关闭了2月15日。如果其中任何一个想要迁移到一个新计划,他们可以这样做。
问:最初的提案之一是Vedanta-Foxconn合资企业。有报道在合资公司中的一些问题,他们不会有资格获得激励。你的想法呢?
答:专家团队的技术和金融专家评估每一个提案。这是印度的一个新产业。那项工作。我们应该能够给你一些公司信息在未来三到四个星期。
问:什么是你的期望重新开放的窗口下的申请人印度半导体的使命吗?
答:一些主要参与者看印度是下一个目的地。当然,一些球员想进来的价值开始添加类别,然后一起制造的部分。
问:是否有一个修订的激励结构或总促销在ISM,现在已经重新窗吗?
答:激励的总量,我们将调用一旦我们达到初始极限我们设定在2021年12月的100亿美元。这是一个20年的程序,这只是第一步。
问:政府还拿出PLI 2.0方案硬件。会喜欢的苹果和三星这是申请?
答:苹果和三星都是现在在印度和扩大。他们的重点现在组成的生态系统。像往常一样,每一个行业开始装配活动。一旦创建卷,然后组件生态系统开始。所以,我们在电子制造业的发展阶段。我们的重点应该是确保我们要深入到生态系统快速发展的坚实基础。
读也
什么是数字印度比尔的地位,以及数字个人数据保护法案和电信帐单吗?
答:数字个人数据保护法案将在议会的季风会话。草案…几乎准备好了。我们应该能够将其咨询在接下来的几周。
什么新会在数字印度比尔?
a .产业结构完全改变了过去20年。没有我们今天所看到的应用程序。现在的问题是我们应该如何创建一个框架,迎合几乎无处不在的互联网连接和相关用户的危害等问题,用户和隐私的保护。
印度数字法案也将处理责任的社交媒体平台。
第三个方面是对新兴技术。今天整个世界关注AI将如何影响社会和经济。我们面临的挑战是创造平衡,我们把好东西拿出来的新技术和限制会造成潜在的危害。
现在,技术的发展非常迅速。像DPDP法案,而不是把它规定,我们将国家原则基于哪些公司可以评估该做什么。
问:有认为信息技术法案的废除Section 79为第三方提供免疫网络中介内容?
答:社会媒体平台必须对他们负责出版。看,印度有多种语言,文化和其他方面使她非常多样化的国家。我们需要平台对我们的社会的需要。问责制必须有。
问:你的意见是什么人的最近的情况下让垃圾邮件等即时消息应用程序调用和消息WhatsApp吗?
答:许多已采取措施来预防网络诈骗。首先,如果有人的身份已经被用于欺诈连接,可以检查和断开连接。
第二,如果有人给错误的信息和连接,那么这也是断开连接。第一和第二连接到网络欺诈。
下一步是,如果有人给你打电话,你应该有权知道是谁来电。现在,在工作。一旦发生这种情况,网络欺诈行为将减少的重要组成部分。
问:你如何计划保持隐私的用户以及检查这些骗子,尤其是言过其实的调用和消息传递应用程序和了解你的客户规范?
答:接收电话的人的隐私一样重要的人的电话。如果有人闯入你的私人空间,你有权利知道这个人是谁之前,你回复消息或电话。当然,无论我们做什么必须通过隐私测试。
问:政府已经迈出了巨大的一步,沃达丰(Vodafone)想法的费转化为股本。但没有启动子注入或外部资本筹集到目前为止。这是担心吗?
的启动子不断告诉我们,他们正在研究它。我们希望一些发起人的努力的结果。但是是的,我们担心。这种延迟是真的担心我们。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>India will focus on creating a supportive ecosystem for semiconductor manufacturing in the country first, and not only on fabrication units, according to union technology, railways, and telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw<\/a>. The government is ready with the latest draft of the Digital India Act<\/a> that will be released soon for public consultation, while the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill<\/a> will be presented in Parliament in the monsoon session, he told Aashish Aryan and Romit Guha in a wide-ranging interview. He added that the delay in Vodafone Idea’s fundraising was a worry. Edited excerpts.
Q. What are the major achievements of the government over the last 9 years?
<\/strong>
A. The fundamental change that the Prime Minister brought was shifting the political discourse - from keeping the poor as vote bank to sincerely and dedicatedly working towards permanent transformation in people's lives.
A few examples are the number of houses or electricity and fresh tap water connections that have been added over these years. Four crore pucca houses have been constructed over these years, which means a population of 20 crore people now have a permanent roof over their head. That is equivalent to the population of Japan.
Similarly, 12 crore fresh water tap connections means covering 60 crore people, which is more than the population of Europe. That is the magnitude of growth. That is a part of the social infrastructure growth.
Now, about economic infrastructure. We have constructed 74 airports in the last 9 years. Nearly 37,000 kilometers of railway electrification has been done. We have 21 world-class trains running in India and 111 water-ways. Sector after sector, the focus has been to build an economy which is productive and provides more opportunities to our people or entrepreneurs, industries and micro, medium and small scale enterprises.
Q. How was your recent US visit? Which companies did you meet? Where does India’s semiconductor ecosystem stand as of today?<\/strong>
A. Our focus has been on creating the ecosystem. In the recent US visit, I met with about 45 companies and 2 universities. They very candidly and sincerely advised us to focus on building the ecosystem and making sure that the 200-250 gases and chemicals industries, which require extremely high speciality, purity and precise composition are available in India. We have focused on the quality of electricity, getting the logistics right and making sure that the talent for semiconductor fabrication is in place.
The size of this industry is going to double in the next seven years - from current $650 billion to over 1 trillion. In the next seven years, industry will need over one million qualified and talented people to work in these semiconductor industries. India will become the semiconductor capital due to a variety of factors. And for that, we have to make sure that the ecosystem is in place by the time the first fabrication unit comes along.
Q. What are some of the companies that you met during the US tour?
<\/strong>
A. Our delegation met Applied Materials, Intel, AMD, DuPont, Cadence, IBM, Western Digital, Merck, TOK (Tokyo Ohka Kogyo), NEC, Renesas, LAM, and many other companies.
Q. What makes Dholera optimal for setting up semiconductor fabrication units?
<\/strong>
A. Gujarat government has done a lot to develop Dholera as a major centre for hi tech manufacturing.
It has 10,000 acres marked for semiconductor units, about 20,000 MW green energy. One fabrication unit needs about 300 - 500 MW.
There are five ports servicing the area. There is a very evolved pharmaceutical and chemical industry in Gujarat. Ability to handle speciality chemicals and gases is available there.
There will be multiple grids feeding power to Dholera units, so the quality of power is good. Now, everybody knows that ultra-pure water has to be manufactured. The international airports in vicinity and IIT Gandhinagar add more value.
Q. The government has re-opened the window for applicants to submit new applications to set up semiconductor fabrication units. What is the thought process there?
<\/strong>
A. The three proposals that we had initially are in the final stages of being evaluated. They can also move to the new window that we have announced.
We modified the Indian Semiconductor Mission scheme last October. That was based on the experience and the advice that we have got from experts who are in ISM.
Almost all of them suggested that the global semiconductor industry is going to have about 50-60% mature nodes and the rest would be advanced nodes. The mature nodes would be serving the electric vehicles, telecom, consumer and power electronics industries.
The leading nodes will be serving some specialised chips and smartphones, the compute power and memory chips which are going into data centres. The growth which was earlier primarily in compute and mobile devices<\/a> is now equalled by the growth in EV and telecom. With 5G proliferating all over the world, the growth in telecom is as big as the growth in electronics.
So the advice we got is that we should cover the entire spectrum and not limit our program to only 28 nanometres and smaller nodes. So we modified it in October. The original program was not applicable to the first three applicants because the process had closed on February 15. If any one of them wants to migrate to a new plan, they can do so.
Q. One of the original proposals was from the Vedanta-Foxconn JV. There are reports about some issues in the JV and that they would not be eligible for the incentives. Your thoughts?
<\/strong>
A. An expert team of technical and financial experts are evaluating every proposal. This is a new industry for India. That work is going on. We should be able to give you some firm information within the next three to four weeks.
Q. What are your expectations from the reopening of the window for applicants under the India Semiconductor Mission<\/a>?
<\/strong>
A. Some major players are looking at India as the next destination. Certainly, some players would like to come in the value addition category to begin with and then come with the fabrication part.
Q. Is there a revision in the incentive structure or the total incentives being offered under ISM, now that the window has been re-opened?
<\/strong>
A. On the total amount of incentives, we will take a call once we reach the initial limit of $10 billion that we set in December 2021. This is a 20-year program, and this is just the first step.
Q. The government has also come up with the PLI 2.0 scheme for IT hardware. Will the likes of Apple<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> be applying for this?
<\/strong>
A. Apple and Samsung are both present now in India and expanding. Their focus is now on getting the component ecosystem. As always, every industry starts with assembly activities. Once volume is created, then the component ecosystem starts coming in. So, we are at that phase in the development of electronics manufacturing. Our focus should be to make sure that we should go deep down into the ecosystem to have a strong foundation for rapid growth.

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.
Q. What new can we expect in the Digital India Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The industry structure has totally changed in the last 20 years. The applications which we see today were not there. The question now is how we should create a framework that caters to almost ubiquitous internet connectivity and related issues like user harm, protection of users and privacy.
The Digital India Bill will also deal with accountability of social media platforms.
The third aspect is on emerging technologies. The entire world is today concerned about how AI will affect societies and economies. Our challenge is to create that balance, where we take the good things out of this new technology and limit the potential harm that it can cause.
Now, technology evolves very rapidly. So, like the DPDP bill, instead of keeping it prescriptive, we will state out the principles based on which companies can evaluate what to do.
Q. Is there a thought to do away with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act which provides immunity to internet intermediaries for third party content?
<\/strong>
A. Social media platforms have to be accountable for what they are publishing. See, India has multiple languages, cultures and other aspects which makes her a remarkably diverse country. We need the platforms to be sensitive to our society's needs. Accountability has to be there.
Q. What are your views on the recent cases of people getting spam calls and messages on instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp?
<\/strong>
A. Many steps have been taken to prevent cyber frauds. The first is that if somebody's identity has been used to take a connection fraudulently, that can be checked and be disconnected.
The second is that if somebody is giving wrong information and taking a connection, then that is also disconnected. The first and second are connected to cyber fraud.
The next step is that if somebody is calling you, you should have the right to know who is calling. Right now, it is in the works. Once that happens, a significant part of the cyber fraud will reduce.
Q. How do you plan to maintain privacy for users as well as checking these frauds, especially with respect to over-the-top calling and messaging apps and the know-your-customer norms for them?
<\/strong>
A. The privacy of the person who receives the call is as important as someone who calls. If somebody is intruding into your private space, you have a right to know who that person is before you respond to that message or take that call. And of course, whatever we do will have to pass the privacy test.
Q. The government has taken a huge step by converting Vodafone Idea’s dues into equity. But there has been no promoter infusion or external capital raise so far. Is that a worry?
<\/strong>
A. The promoters have been continuously telling us that they are working on it. We hope some results of the efforts of the promoters are out soon. But yes, we are concerned. This delay is really worrying us.

印度将专注于创造一个支持性的生态系统半导体制造业在全国第一,不仅制造单元,根据联盟技术、铁路、电信部长Ashwini Vaishnaw。政府准备最新的草案数字印度法案谘询公众很快就会被释放,而数字个人数据保护法案在季风会话将在议会,他告诉Aashish雅利安人,Romit古在涵盖内容广泛的采访中。他补充说,推迟沃达丰想法的筹款是一个担心。编辑摘录。
问:什么是政府的主要成就在过去的9年?
答:总理带来的根本性的改变将政治话语——从保持穷人投票银行真诚和专门致力于永久转换在人们的生活中。
几个例子是房屋的数量或电力和新鲜自来水连接这些年来已经添加。四个卢比的中国娃娃房屋建造这些年来,这意味着人口20卢比的人现在有一个永久的屋顶在他们的头上。这相当于日本的人口。
同样,12卢比的淡水利用连接意味着覆盖60卢比的人来说,这比欧洲的人口。这是增长的大小。这是一个社会基础设施增长的一部分。
现在,关于经济基础设施。我们已经建造了74个机场在过去9年。近37000公里的铁路电气化已经完成。我们在印度有21个世界级的列车和111航道。部门后,部门,重点是建立一个经济生产和提供更多的机会,我们的人民或企业家、行业和微观、中小规模企业。
问:你最近我们参观吗?你遇到什么公司?印度的半导体生态系统今天站在哪里?
答:我们的重点是创建生态系统。在最近的美国访问,我会见了大约45公司和2所大学。他们非常坦率和真诚地建议我们关注建筑生态系统,并确保200 - 250年的气体和化学品行业,需要极高的专业,纯度和精确的成分在印度是可用的。我们专注于电能的质量,正确的物流,并确保半导体制造的人才。
这个行业的规模将翻倍在未来七年,从目前的6500亿到1万亿美元。在接下来的七年,行业将需要超过一百万个合格的和有才华的人在这些半导体行业工作。印度将成为半导体资本由于各种各样的因素。为此,我们必须确保生态系统是在第一个制造单元出现的时间。
问:什么是你见过的一些公司在美国旅游吗?
答:我们代表团会见了应用材料,Intel、AMD、杜邦、节奏、IBM、西部数据公司,默克,托托(东京Ohka Kogyo), NEC,瑞萨,LAM和许多其他公司。
问:是什么让Dholera最佳设置半导体制造单位吗?
a .古吉拉特邦政府做了很多开发Dholera作为主要的高科技制造业中心。
它有10000英亩标记为半导体单位,大约20000兆瓦的绿色能源。一个制造单元需要大约300 - 500兆瓦。
有五个港口服务。有一个非常进化制药和化工在古吉拉特邦。能够处理特种化学品和气体是可用的。
将会有多个电网输送功率Dholera单位,所以电力的质量是好的。现在,每个人都知道超纯水制造。国际机场附近,IIT Gandhinagar添加更多的价值。
问:政府已经重新申请人提交新的应用程序的窗口设置半导体制造单位。思维过程是什么?
答:我们最初的三个建议在被评估的最后阶段。他们还可以搬到新窗口,我们已宣布。
我们修改了去年10月印度半导体的任务计划。这是基于经验和专家的建议,我们必须在ISM。
几乎所有人认为全球半导体行业将有50 - 60%成熟的节点,其余的将先进的节点。成熟的节点将会服务于电动汽车,电信、消费和电力电子行业。
主要节点将提供一些专门的芯片和智能手机的计算能力和内存芯片进入数据中心。早期的增长主要是在计算和移动设备现在刚好与电动汽车的增长和电信。随着5 g的世界各地扩散,电信的增长和增长的电子一样大。
所以我们得到的建议是,我们应该覆盖整个频谱,而不是限制我们的节目只有28纳米和较小的节点。在10月份我们修改它。原计划并不适用于前三个申请者,因为关闭了2月15日。如果其中任何一个想要迁移到一个新计划,他们可以这样做。
问:最初的提案之一是Vedanta-Foxconn合资企业。有报道在合资公司中的一些问题,他们不会有资格获得激励。你的想法呢?
答:专家团队的技术和金融专家评估每一个提案。这是印度的一个新产业。那项工作。我们应该能够给你一些公司信息在未来三到四个星期。
问:什么是你的期望重新开放的窗口下的申请人印度半导体的使命吗?
答:一些主要参与者看印度是下一个目的地。当然,一些球员想进来的价值开始添加类别,然后一起制造的部分。
问:是否有一个修订的激励结构或总促销在ISM,现在已经重新窗吗?
答:激励的总量,我们将调用一旦我们达到初始极限我们设定在2021年12月的100亿美元。这是一个20年的程序,这只是第一步。
问:政府还拿出PLI 2.0方案硬件。会喜欢的苹果和三星这是申请?
答:苹果和三星都是现在在印度和扩大。他们的重点现在组成的生态系统。像往常一样,每一个行业开始装配活动。一旦创建卷,然后组件生态系统开始。所以,我们在电子制造业的发展阶段。我们的重点应该是确保我们要深入到生态系统快速发展的坚实基础。
读也
什么是数字印度比尔的地位,以及数字个人数据保护法案和电信帐单吗?
答:数字个人数据保护法案将在议会的季风会话。草案…几乎准备好了。我们应该能够将其咨询在接下来的几周。
什么新会在数字印度比尔?
a .产业结构完全改变了过去20年。没有我们今天所看到的应用程序。现在的问题是我们应该如何创建一个框架,迎合几乎无处不在的互联网连接和相关用户的危害等问题,用户和隐私的保护。
印度数字法案也将处理责任的社交媒体平台。
第三个方面是对新兴技术。今天整个世界关注AI将如何影响社会和经济。我们面临的挑战是创造平衡,我们把好东西拿出来的新技术和限制会造成潜在的危害。
现在,技术的发展非常迅速。像DPDP法案,而不是把它规定,我们将国家原则基于哪些公司可以评估该做什么。
问:有认为信息技术法案的废除Section 79为第三方提供免疫网络中介内容?
答:社会媒体平台必须对他们负责出版。看,印度有多种语言,文化和其他方面使她非常多样化的国家。我们需要平台对我们的社会的需要。问责制必须有。
问:你的意见是什么人的最近的情况下让垃圾邮件等即时消息应用程序调用和消息WhatsApp吗?
答:许多已采取措施来预防网络诈骗。首先,如果有人的身份已经被用于欺诈连接,可以检查和断开连接。
第二,如果有人给错误的信息和连接,那么这也是断开连接。第一和第二连接到网络欺诈。
下一步是,如果有人给你打电话,你应该有权知道是谁来电。现在,在工作。一旦发生这种情况,网络欺诈行为将减少的重要组成部分。
问:你如何计划保持隐私的用户以及检查这些骗子,尤其是言过其实的调用和消息传递应用程序和了解你的客户规范?
答:接收电话的人的隐私一样重要的人的电话。如果有人闯入你的私人空间,你有权利知道这个人是谁之前,你回复消息或电话。当然,无论我们做什么必须通过隐私测试。
问:政府已经迈出了巨大的一步,沃达丰(Vodafone)想法的费转化为股本。但没有启动子注入或外部资本筹集到目前为止。这是担心吗?
的启动子不断告诉我们,他们正在研究它。我们希望一些发起人的努力的结果。但是是的,我们担心。这种延迟是真的担心我们。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>India will focus on creating a supportive ecosystem for semiconductor manufacturing in the country first, and not only on fabrication units, according to union technology, railways, and telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw<\/a>. The government is ready with the latest draft of the Digital India Act<\/a> that will be released soon for public consultation, while the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill<\/a> will be presented in Parliament in the monsoon session, he told Aashish Aryan and Romit Guha in a wide-ranging interview. He added that the delay in Vodafone Idea’s fundraising was a worry. Edited excerpts.
Q. What are the major achievements of the government over the last 9 years?
<\/strong>
A. The fundamental change that the Prime Minister brought was shifting the political discourse - from keeping the poor as vote bank to sincerely and dedicatedly working towards permanent transformation in people's lives.
A few examples are the number of houses or electricity and fresh tap water connections that have been added over these years. Four crore pucca houses have been constructed over these years, which means a population of 20 crore people now have a permanent roof over their head. That is equivalent to the population of Japan.
Similarly, 12 crore fresh water tap connections means covering 60 crore people, which is more than the population of Europe. That is the magnitude of growth. That is a part of the social infrastructure growth.
Now, about economic infrastructure. We have constructed 74 airports in the last 9 years. Nearly 37,000 kilometers of railway electrification has been done. We have 21 world-class trains running in India and 111 water-ways. Sector after sector, the focus has been to build an economy which is productive and provides more opportunities to our people or entrepreneurs, industries and micro, medium and small scale enterprises.
Q. How was your recent US visit? Which companies did you meet? Where does India’s semiconductor ecosystem stand as of today?<\/strong>
A. Our focus has been on creating the ecosystem. In the recent US visit, I met with about 45 companies and 2 universities. They very candidly and sincerely advised us to focus on building the ecosystem and making sure that the 200-250 gases and chemicals industries, which require extremely high speciality, purity and precise composition are available in India. We have focused on the quality of electricity, getting the logistics right and making sure that the talent for semiconductor fabrication is in place.
The size of this industry is going to double in the next seven years - from current $650 billion to over 1 trillion. In the next seven years, industry will need over one million qualified and talented people to work in these semiconductor industries. India will become the semiconductor capital due to a variety of factors. And for that, we have to make sure that the ecosystem is in place by the time the first fabrication unit comes along.
Q. What are some of the companies that you met during the US tour?
<\/strong>
A. Our delegation met Applied Materials, Intel, AMD, DuPont, Cadence, IBM, Western Digital, Merck, TOK (Tokyo Ohka Kogyo), NEC, Renesas, LAM, and many other companies.
Q. What makes Dholera optimal for setting up semiconductor fabrication units?
<\/strong>
A. Gujarat government has done a lot to develop Dholera as a major centre for hi tech manufacturing.
It has 10,000 acres marked for semiconductor units, about 20,000 MW green energy. One fabrication unit needs about 300 - 500 MW.
There are five ports servicing the area. There is a very evolved pharmaceutical and chemical industry in Gujarat. Ability to handle speciality chemicals and gases is available there.
There will be multiple grids feeding power to Dholera units, so the quality of power is good. Now, everybody knows that ultra-pure water has to be manufactured. The international airports in vicinity and IIT Gandhinagar add more value.
Q. The government has re-opened the window for applicants to submit new applications to set up semiconductor fabrication units. What is the thought process there?
<\/strong>
A. The three proposals that we had initially are in the final stages of being evaluated. They can also move to the new window that we have announced.
We modified the Indian Semiconductor Mission scheme last October. That was based on the experience and the advice that we have got from experts who are in ISM.
Almost all of them suggested that the global semiconductor industry is going to have about 50-60% mature nodes and the rest would be advanced nodes. The mature nodes would be serving the electric vehicles, telecom, consumer and power electronics industries.
The leading nodes will be serving some specialised chips and smartphones, the compute power and memory chips which are going into data centres. The growth which was earlier primarily in compute and mobile devices<\/a> is now equalled by the growth in EV and telecom. With 5G proliferating all over the world, the growth in telecom is as big as the growth in electronics.
So the advice we got is that we should cover the entire spectrum and not limit our program to only 28 nanometres and smaller nodes. So we modified it in October. The original program was not applicable to the first three applicants because the process had closed on February 15. If any one of them wants to migrate to a new plan, they can do so.
Q. One of the original proposals was from the Vedanta-Foxconn JV. There are reports about some issues in the JV and that they would not be eligible for the incentives. Your thoughts?
<\/strong>
A. An expert team of technical and financial experts are evaluating every proposal. This is a new industry for India. That work is going on. We should be able to give you some firm information within the next three to four weeks.
Q. What are your expectations from the reopening of the window for applicants under the India Semiconductor Mission<\/a>?
<\/strong>
A. Some major players are looking at India as the next destination. Certainly, some players would like to come in the value addition category to begin with and then come with the fabrication part.
Q. Is there a revision in the incentive structure or the total incentives being offered under ISM, now that the window has been re-opened?
<\/strong>
A. On the total amount of incentives, we will take a call once we reach the initial limit of $10 billion that we set in December 2021. This is a 20-year program, and this is just the first step.
Q. The government has also come up with the PLI 2.0 scheme for IT hardware. Will the likes of Apple<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> be applying for this?
<\/strong>
A. Apple and Samsung are both present now in India and expanding. Their focus is now on getting the component ecosystem. As always, every industry starts with assembly activities. Once volume is created, then the component ecosystem starts coming in. So, we are at that phase in the development of electronics manufacturing. Our focus should be to make sure that we should go deep down into the ecosystem to have a strong foundation for rapid growth.

<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.
Q. What new can we expect in the Digital India Bill?

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.
Q. What new can we expect in the Digital India Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The industry structure has totally changed in the last 20 years. The applications which we see today were not there. The question now is how we should create a framework that caters to almost ubiquitous internet connectivity and related issues like user harm, protection of users and privacy.
The Digital India Bill will also deal with accountability of social media platforms.
The third aspect is on emerging technologies. The entire world is today concerned about how AI will affect societies and economies. Our challenge is to create that balance, where we take the good things out of this new technology and limit the potential harm that it can cause.
Now, technology evolves very rapidly. So, like the DPDP bill, instead of keeping it prescriptive, we will state out the principles based on which companies can evaluate what to do.
Q. Is there a thought to do away with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act which provides immunity to internet intermediaries for third party content?
<\/strong>
A. Social media platforms have to be accountable for what they are publishing. See, India has multiple languages, cultures and other aspects which makes her a remarkably diverse country. We need the platforms to be sensitive to our society's needs. Accountability has to be there.
Q. What are your views on the recent cases of people getting spam calls and messages on instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp?
<\/strong>
A. Many steps have been taken to prevent cyber frauds. The first is that if somebody's identity has been used to take a connection fraudulently, that can be checked and be disconnected.
The second is that if somebody is giving wrong information and taking a connection, then that is also disconnected. The first and second are connected to cyber fraud.
The next step is that if somebody is calling you, you should have the right to know who is calling. Right now, it is in the works. Once that happens, a significant part of the cyber fraud will reduce.
Q. How do you plan to maintain privacy for users as well as checking these frauds, especially with respect to over-the-top calling and messaging apps and the know-your-customer norms for them?
<\/strong>
A. The privacy of the person who receives the call is as important as someone who calls. If somebody is intruding into your private space, you have a right to know who that person is before you respond to that message or take that call. And of course, whatever we do will have to pass the privacy test.
Q. The government has taken a huge step by converting Vodafone Idea’s dues into equity. But there has been no promoter infusion or external capital raise so far. Is that a worry?
<\/strong>
A. The promoters have been continuously telling us that they are working on it. We hope some results of the efforts of the promoters are out soon. But yes, we are concerned. This delay is really worrying us.

印度将专注于创造一个支持性的生态系统半导体制造业在全国第一,不仅制造单元,根据联盟技术、铁路、电信部长Ashwini Vaishnaw。政府准备最新的草案数字印度法案谘询公众很快就会被释放,而数字个人数据保护法案在季风会话将在议会,他告诉Aashish雅利安人,Romit古在涵盖内容广泛的采访中。他补充说,推迟沃达丰想法的筹款是一个担心。编辑摘录。
问:什么是政府的主要成就在过去的9年?
答:总理带来的根本性的改变将政治话语——从保持穷人投票银行真诚和专门致力于永久转换在人们的生活中。
几个例子是房屋的数量或电力和新鲜自来水连接这些年来已经添加。四个卢比的中国娃娃房屋建造这些年来,这意味着人口20卢比的人现在有一个永久的屋顶在他们的头上。这相当于日本的人口。
同样,12卢比的淡水利用连接意味着覆盖60卢比的人来说,这比欧洲的人口。这是增长的大小。这是一个社会基础设施增长的一部分。
现在,关于经济基础设施。我们已经建造了74个机场在过去9年。近37000公里的铁路电气化已经完成。我们在印度有21个世界级的列车和111航道。部门后,部门,重点是建立一个经济生产和提供更多的机会,我们的人民或企业家、行业和微观、中小规模企业。
问:你最近我们参观吗?你遇到什么公司?印度的半导体生态系统今天站在哪里?
答:我们的重点是创建生态系统。在最近的美国访问,我会见了大约45公司和2所大学。他们非常坦率和真诚地建议我们关注建筑生态系统,并确保200 - 250年的气体和化学品行业,需要极高的专业,纯度和精确的成分在印度是可用的。我们专注于电能的质量,正确的物流,并确保半导体制造的人才。
这个行业的规模将翻倍在未来七年,从目前的6500亿到1万亿美元。在接下来的七年,行业将需要超过一百万个合格的和有才华的人在这些半导体行业工作。印度将成为半导体资本由于各种各样的因素。为此,我们必须确保生态系统是在第一个制造单元出现的时间。
问:什么是你见过的一些公司在美国旅游吗?
答:我们代表团会见了应用材料,Intel、AMD、杜邦、节奏、IBM、西部数据公司,默克,托托(东京Ohka Kogyo), NEC,瑞萨,LAM和许多其他公司。
问:是什么让Dholera最佳设置半导体制造单位吗?
a .古吉拉特邦政府做了很多开发Dholera作为主要的高科技制造业中心。
它有10000英亩标记为半导体单位,大约20000兆瓦的绿色能源。一个制造单元需要大约300 - 500兆瓦。
有五个港口服务。有一个非常进化制药和化工在古吉拉特邦。能够处理特种化学品和气体是可用的。
将会有多个电网输送功率Dholera单位,所以电力的质量是好的。现在,每个人都知道超纯水制造。国际机场附近,IIT Gandhinagar添加更多的价值。
问:政府已经重新申请人提交新的应用程序的窗口设置半导体制造单位。思维过程是什么?
答:我们最初的三个建议在被评估的最后阶段。他们还可以搬到新窗口,我们已宣布。
我们修改了去年10月印度半导体的任务计划。这是基于经验和专家的建议,我们必须在ISM。
几乎所有人认为全球半导体行业将有50 - 60%成熟的节点,其余的将先进的节点。成熟的节点将会服务于电动汽车,电信、消费和电力电子行业。
主要节点将提供一些专门的芯片和智能手机的计算能力和内存芯片进入数据中心。早期的增长主要是在计算和移动设备现在刚好与电动汽车的增长和电信。随着5 g的世界各地扩散,电信的增长和增长的电子一样大。
所以我们得到的建议是,我们应该覆盖整个频谱,而不是限制我们的节目只有28纳米和较小的节点。在10月份我们修改它。原计划并不适用于前三个申请者,因为关闭了2月15日。如果其中任何一个想要迁移到一个新计划,他们可以这样做。
问:最初的提案之一是Vedanta-Foxconn合资企业。有报道在合资公司中的一些问题,他们不会有资格获得激励。你的想法呢?
答:专家团队的技术和金融专家评估每一个提案。这是印度的一个新产业。那项工作。我们应该能够给你一些公司信息在未来三到四个星期。
问:什么是你的期望重新开放的窗口下的申请人印度半导体的使命吗?
答:一些主要参与者看印度是下一个目的地。当然,一些球员想进来的价值开始添加类别,然后一起制造的部分。
问:是否有一个修订的激励结构或总促销在ISM,现在已经重新窗吗?
答:激励的总量,我们将调用一旦我们达到初始极限我们设定在2021年12月的100亿美元。这是一个20年的程序,这只是第一步。
问:政府还拿出PLI 2.0方案硬件。会喜欢的苹果和三星这是申请?
答:苹果和三星都是现在在印度和扩大。他们的重点现在组成的生态系统。像往常一样,每一个行业开始装配活动。一旦创建卷,然后组件生态系统开始。所以,我们在电子制造业的发展阶段。我们的重点应该是确保我们要深入到生态系统快速发展的坚实基础。
读也
什么是数字印度比尔的地位,以及数字个人数据保护法案和电信帐单吗?
答:数字个人数据保护法案将在议会的季风会话。草案…几乎准备好了。我们应该能够将其咨询在接下来的几周。
什么新会在数字印度比尔?
a .产业结构完全改变了过去20年。没有我们今天所看到的应用程序。现在的问题是我们应该如何创建一个框架,迎合几乎无处不在的互联网连接和相关用户的危害等问题,用户和隐私的保护。
印度数字法案也将处理责任的社交媒体平台。
第三个方面是对新兴技术。今天整个世界关注AI将如何影响社会和经济。我们面临的挑战是创造平衡,我们把好东西拿出来的新技术和限制会造成潜在的危害。
现在,技术的发展非常迅速。像DPDP法案,而不是把它规定,我们将国家原则基于哪些公司可以评估该做什么。
问:有认为信息技术法案的废除Section 79为第三方提供免疫网络中介内容?
答:社会媒体平台必须对他们负责出版。看,印度有多种语言,文化和其他方面使她非常多样化的国家。我们需要平台对我们的社会的需要。问责制必须有。
问:你的意见是什么人的最近的情况下让垃圾邮件等即时消息应用程序调用和消息WhatsApp吗?
答:许多已采取措施来预防网络诈骗。首先,如果有人的身份已经被用于欺诈连接,可以检查和断开连接。
第二,如果有人给错误的信息和连接,那么这也是断开连接。第一和第二连接到网络欺诈。
下一步是,如果有人给你打电话,你应该有权知道是谁来电。现在,在工作。一旦发生这种情况,网络欺诈行为将减少的重要组成部分。
问:你如何计划保持隐私的用户以及检查这些骗子,尤其是言过其实的调用和消息传递应用程序和了解你的客户规范?
答:接收电话的人的隐私一样重要的人的电话。如果有人闯入你的私人空间,你有权利知道这个人是谁之前,你回复消息或电话。当然,无论我们做什么必须通过隐私测试。
问:政府已经迈出了巨大的一步,沃达丰(Vodafone)想法的费转化为股本。但没有启动子注入或外部资本筹集到目前为止。这是担心吗?
的启动子不断告诉我们,他们正在研究它。我们希望一些发起人的努力的结果。但是是的,我们担心。这种延迟是真的担心我们。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>India will focus on creating a supportive ecosystem for semiconductor manufacturing in the country first, and not only on fabrication units, according to union technology, railways, and telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw<\/a>. The government is ready with the latest draft of the Digital India Act<\/a> that will be released soon for public consultation, while the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill<\/a> will be presented in Parliament in the monsoon session, he told Aashish Aryan and Romit Guha in a wide-ranging interview. He added that the delay in Vodafone Idea’s fundraising was a worry. Edited excerpts.
Q. What are the major achievements of the government over the last 9 years?
<\/strong>
A. The fundamental change that the Prime Minister brought was shifting the political discourse - from keeping the poor as vote bank to sincerely and dedicatedly working towards permanent transformation in people's lives.
A few examples are the number of houses or electricity and fresh tap water connections that have been added over these years. Four crore pucca houses have been constructed over these years, which means a population of 20 crore people now have a permanent roof over their head. That is equivalent to the population of Japan.
Similarly, 12 crore fresh water tap connections means covering 60 crore people, which is more than the population of Europe. That is the magnitude of growth. That is a part of the social infrastructure growth.
Now, about economic infrastructure. We have constructed 74 airports in the last 9 years. Nearly 37,000 kilometers of railway electrification has been done. We have 21 world-class trains running in India and 111 water-ways. Sector after sector, the focus has been to build an economy which is productive and provides more opportunities to our people or entrepreneurs, industries and micro, medium and small scale enterprises.
Q. How was your recent US visit? Which companies did you meet? Where does India’s semiconductor ecosystem stand as of today?<\/strong>
A. Our focus has been on creating the ecosystem. In the recent US visit, I met with about 45 companies and 2 universities. They very candidly and sincerely advised us to focus on building the ecosystem and making sure that the 200-250 gases and chemicals industries, which require extremely high speciality, purity and precise composition are available in India. We have focused on the quality of electricity, getting the logistics right and making sure that the talent for semiconductor fabrication is in place.
The size of this industry is going to double in the next seven years - from current $650 billion to over 1 trillion. In the next seven years, industry will need over one million qualified and talented people to work in these semiconductor industries. India will become the semiconductor capital due to a variety of factors. And for that, we have to make sure that the ecosystem is in place by the time the first fabrication unit comes along.
Q. What are some of the companies that you met during the US tour?
<\/strong>
A. Our delegation met Applied Materials, Intel, AMD, DuPont, Cadence, IBM, Western Digital, Merck, TOK (Tokyo Ohka Kogyo), NEC, Renesas, LAM, and many other companies.
Q. What makes Dholera optimal for setting up semiconductor fabrication units?
<\/strong>
A. Gujarat government has done a lot to develop Dholera as a major centre for hi tech manufacturing.
It has 10,000 acres marked for semiconductor units, about 20,000 MW green energy. One fabrication unit needs about 300 - 500 MW.
There are five ports servicing the area. There is a very evolved pharmaceutical and chemical industry in Gujarat. Ability to handle speciality chemicals and gases is available there.
There will be multiple grids feeding power to Dholera units, so the quality of power is good. Now, everybody knows that ultra-pure water has to be manufactured. The international airports in vicinity and IIT Gandhinagar add more value.
Q. The government has re-opened the window for applicants to submit new applications to set up semiconductor fabrication units. What is the thought process there?
<\/strong>
A. The three proposals that we had initially are in the final stages of being evaluated. They can also move to the new window that we have announced.
We modified the Indian Semiconductor Mission scheme last October. That was based on the experience and the advice that we have got from experts who are in ISM.
Almost all of them suggested that the global semiconductor industry is going to have about 50-60% mature nodes and the rest would be advanced nodes. The mature nodes would be serving the electric vehicles, telecom, consumer and power electronics industries.
The leading nodes will be serving some specialised chips and smartphones, the compute power and memory chips which are going into data centres. The growth which was earlier primarily in compute and mobile devices<\/a> is now equalled by the growth in EV and telecom. With 5G proliferating all over the world, the growth in telecom is as big as the growth in electronics.
So the advice we got is that we should cover the entire spectrum and not limit our program to only 28 nanometres and smaller nodes. So we modified it in October. The original program was not applicable to the first three applicants because the process had closed on February 15. If any one of them wants to migrate to a new plan, they can do so.
Q. One of the original proposals was from the Vedanta-Foxconn JV. There are reports about some issues in the JV and that they would not be eligible for the incentives. Your thoughts?
<\/strong>
A. An expert team of technical and financial experts are evaluating every proposal. This is a new industry for India. That work is going on. We should be able to give you some firm information within the next three to four weeks.
Q. What are your expectations from the reopening of the window for applicants under the India Semiconductor Mission<\/a>?
<\/strong>
A. Some major players are looking at India as the next destination. Certainly, some players would like to come in the value addition category to begin with and then come with the fabrication part.
Q. Is there a revision in the incentive structure or the total incentives being offered under ISM, now that the window has been re-opened?
<\/strong>
A. On the total amount of incentives, we will take a call once we reach the initial limit of $10 billion that we set in December 2021. This is a 20-year program, and this is just the first step.
Q. The government has also come up with the PLI 2.0 scheme for IT hardware. Will the likes of Apple<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> be applying for this?
<\/strong>
A. Apple and Samsung are both present now in India and expanding. Their focus is now on getting the component ecosystem. As always, every industry starts with assembly activities. Once volume is created, then the component ecosystem starts coming in. So, we are at that phase in the development of electronics manufacturing. Our focus should be to make sure that we should go deep down into the ecosystem to have a strong foundation for rapid growth.

Q. The government has taken a huge step by converting Vodafone Idea’s dues into equity. But there has been no promoter infusion or external capital raise so far. Is that a worry?
<\/strong>
A. The promoters have been continuously telling us that they are working on it. We hope some results of the efforts of the promoters are out soon. But yes, we are concerned. This delay is really worrying us.

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.
Q. What new can we expect in the Digital India Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The industry structure has totally changed in the last 20 years. The applications which we see today were not there. The question now is how we should create a framework that caters to almost ubiquitous internet connectivity and related issues like user harm, protection of users and privacy.
The Digital India Bill will also deal with accountability of social media platforms.
The third aspect is on emerging technologies. The entire world is today concerned about how AI will affect societies and economies. Our challenge is to create that balance, where we take the good things out of this new technology and limit the potential harm that it can cause.
Now, technology evolves very rapidly. So, like the DPDP bill, instead of keeping it prescriptive, we will state out the principles based on which companies can evaluate what to do.
Q. Is there a thought to do away with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act which provides immunity to internet intermediaries for third party content?
<\/strong>
A. Social media platforms have to be accountable for what they are publishing. See, India has multiple languages, cultures and other aspects which makes her a remarkably diverse country. We need the platforms to be sensitive to our society's needs. Accountability has to be there.
Q. What are your views on the recent cases of people getting spam calls and messages on instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp?
<\/strong>
A. Many steps have been taken to prevent cyber frauds. The first is that if somebody's identity has been used to take a connection fraudulently, that can be checked and be disconnected.
The second is that if somebody is giving wrong information and taking a connection, then that is also disconnected. The first and second are connected to cyber fraud.
The next step is that if somebody is calling you, you should have the right to know who is calling. Right now, it is in the works. Once that happens, a significant part of the cyber fraud will reduce.
Q. How do you plan to maintain privacy for users as well as checking these frauds, especially with respect to over-the-top calling and messaging apps and the know-your-customer norms for them?
<\/strong>
A. The privacy of the person who receives the call is as important as someone who calls. If somebody is intruding into your private space, you have a right to know who that person is before you respond to that message or take that call. And of course, whatever we do will have to pass the privacy test.
Q. The government has taken a huge step by converting Vodafone Idea’s dues into equity. But there has been no promoter infusion or external capital raise so far. Is that a worry?
<\/strong>
A. The promoters have been continuously telling us that they are working on it. We hope some results of the efforts of the promoters are out soon. But yes, we are concerned. This delay is really worrying us.

印度将专注于创造一个支持性的生态系统半导体制造业在全国第一,不仅制造单元,根据联盟技术、铁路、电信部长Ashwini Vaishnaw。政府准备最新的草案数字印度法案谘询公众很快就会被释放,而数字个人数据保护法案在季风会话将在议会,他告诉Aashish雅利安人,Romit古在涵盖内容广泛的采访中。他补充说,推迟沃达丰想法的筹款是一个担心。编辑摘录。
问:什么是政府的主要成就在过去的9年?
答:总理带来的根本性的改变将政治话语——从保持穷人投票银行真诚和专门致力于永久转换在人们的生活中。
几个例子是房屋的数量或电力和新鲜自来水连接这些年来已经添加。四个卢比的中国娃娃房屋建造这些年来,这意味着人口20卢比的人现在有一个永久的屋顶在他们的头上。这相当于日本的人口。
同样,12卢比的淡水利用连接意味着覆盖60卢比的人来说,这比欧洲的人口。这是增长的大小。这是一个社会基础设施增长的一部分。
现在,关于经济基础设施。我们已经建造了74个机场在过去9年。近37000公里的铁路电气化已经完成。我们在印度有21个世界级的列车和111航道。部门后,部门,重点是建立一个经济生产和提供更多的机会,我们的人民或企业家、行业和微观、中小规模企业。
问:你最近我们参观吗?你遇到什么公司?印度的半导体生态系统今天站在哪里?
答:我们的重点是创建生态系统。在最近的美国访问,我会见了大约45公司和2所大学。他们非常坦率和真诚地建议我们关注建筑生态系统,并确保200 - 250年的气体和化学品行业,需要极高的专业,纯度和精确的成分在印度是可用的。我们专注于电能的质量,正确的物流,并确保半导体制造的人才。
这个行业的规模将翻倍在未来七年,从目前的6500亿到1万亿美元。在接下来的七年,行业将需要超过一百万个合格的和有才华的人在这些半导体行业工作。印度将成为半导体资本由于各种各样的因素。为此,我们必须确保生态系统是在第一个制造单元出现的时间。
问:什么是你见过的一些公司在美国旅游吗?
答:我们代表团会见了应用材料,Intel、AMD、杜邦、节奏、IBM、西部数据公司,默克,托托(东京Ohka Kogyo), NEC,瑞萨,LAM和许多其他公司。
问:是什么让Dholera最佳设置半导体制造单位吗?
a .古吉拉特邦政府做了很多开发Dholera作为主要的高科技制造业中心。
它有10000英亩标记为半导体单位,大约20000兆瓦的绿色能源。一个制造单元需要大约300 - 500兆瓦。
有五个港口服务。有一个非常进化制药和化工在古吉拉特邦。能够处理特种化学品和气体是可用的。
将会有多个电网输送功率Dholera单位,所以电力的质量是好的。现在,每个人都知道超纯水制造。国际机场附近,IIT Gandhinagar添加更多的价值。
问:政府已经重新申请人提交新的应用程序的窗口设置半导体制造单位。思维过程是什么?
答:我们最初的三个建议在被评估的最后阶段。他们还可以搬到新窗口,我们已宣布。
我们修改了去年10月印度半导体的任务计划。这是基于经验和专家的建议,我们必须在ISM。
几乎所有人认为全球半导体行业将有50 - 60%成熟的节点,其余的将先进的节点。成熟的节点将会服务于电动汽车,电信、消费和电力电子行业。
主要节点将提供一些专门的芯片和智能手机的计算能力和内存芯片进入数据中心。早期的增长主要是在计算和移动设备现在刚好与电动汽车的增长和电信。随着5 g的世界各地扩散,电信的增长和增长的电子一样大。
所以我们得到的建议是,我们应该覆盖整个频谱,而不是限制我们的节目只有28纳米和较小的节点。在10月份我们修改它。原计划并不适用于前三个申请者,因为关闭了2月15日。如果其中任何一个想要迁移到一个新计划,他们可以这样做。
问:最初的提案之一是Vedanta-Foxconn合资企业。有报道在合资公司中的一些问题,他们不会有资格获得激励。你的想法呢?
答:专家团队的技术和金融专家评估每一个提案。这是印度的一个新产业。那项工作。我们应该能够给你一些公司信息在未来三到四个星期。
问:什么是你的期望重新开放的窗口下的申请人印度半导体的使命吗?
答:一些主要参与者看印度是下一个目的地。当然,一些球员想进来的价值开始添加类别,然后一起制造的部分。
问:是否有一个修订的激励结构或总促销在ISM,现在已经重新窗吗?
答:激励的总量,我们将调用一旦我们达到初始极限我们设定在2021年12月的100亿美元。这是一个20年的程序,这只是第一步。
问:政府还拿出PLI 2.0方案硬件。会喜欢的苹果和三星这是申请?
答:苹果和三星都是现在在印度和扩大。他们的重点现在组成的生态系统。像往常一样,每一个行业开始装配活动。一旦创建卷,然后组件生态系统开始。所以,我们在电子制造业的发展阶段。我们的重点应该是确保我们要深入到生态系统快速发展的坚实基础。

什么是数字印度比尔的地位,以及数字个人数据保护法案和电信帐单吗?
答:数字个人数据保护法案将在议会的季风会话。草案…几乎准备好了。我们应该能够将其咨询在接下来的几周。
什么新会在数字印度比尔?
a .产业结构完全改变了过去20年。没有我们今天所看到的应用程序。现在的问题是我们应该如何创建一个框架,迎合几乎无处不在的互联网连接和相关用户的危害等问题,用户和隐私的保护。
印度数字法案也将处理责任的社交媒体平台。
第三个方面是对新兴技术。今天整个世界关注AI将如何影响社会和经济。我们面临的挑战是创造平衡,我们把好东西拿出来的新技术和限制会造成潜在的危害。
现在,技术的发展非常迅速。像DPDP法案,而不是把它规定,我们将国家原则基于哪些公司可以评估该做什么。
问:有认为信息技术法案的废除Section 79为第三方提供免疫网络中介内容?
答:社会媒体平台必须对他们负责出版。看,印度有多种语言,文化和其他方面使她非常多样化的国家。我们需要平台对我们的社会的需要。问责制必须有。
问:你的意见是什么人的最近的情况下让垃圾邮件等即时消息应用程序调用和消息WhatsApp吗?
答:许多已采取措施来预防网络诈骗。首先,如果有人的身份已经被用于欺诈连接,可以检查和断开连接。
第二,如果有人给错误的信息和连接,那么这也是断开连接。第一和第二连接到网络欺诈。
下一步是,如果有人给你打电话,你应该有权知道是谁来电。现在,在工作。一旦发生这种情况,网络欺诈行为将减少的重要组成部分。
问:你如何计划保持隐私的用户以及检查这些骗子,尤其是言过其实的调用和消息传递应用程序和了解你的客户规范?
答:接收电话的人的隐私一样重要的人的电话。如果有人闯入你的私人空间,你有权利知道这个人是谁之前,你回复消息或电话。当然,无论我们做什么必须通过隐私测试。
问:政府已经迈出了巨大的一步,沃达丰(Vodafone)想法的费转化为股本。但没有启动子注入或外部资本筹集到目前为止。这是担心吗?
的启动子不断告诉我们,他们正在研究它。我们希望一些发起人的努力的结果。但是是的,我们担心。这种延迟是真的担心我们。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>India will focus on creating a supportive ecosystem for semiconductor manufacturing in the country first, and not only on fabrication units, according to union technology, railways, and telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw<\/a>. The government is ready with the latest draft of the Digital India Act<\/a> that will be released soon for public consultation, while the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill<\/a> will be presented in Parliament in the monsoon session, he told Aashish Aryan and Romit Guha in a wide-ranging interview. He added that the delay in Vodafone Idea’s fundraising was a worry. Edited excerpts.
Q. What are the major achievements of the government over the last 9 years?
<\/strong>
A. The fundamental change that the Prime Minister brought was shifting the political discourse - from keeping the poor as vote bank to sincerely and dedicatedly working towards permanent transformation in people's lives.
A few examples are the number of houses or electricity and fresh tap water connections that have been added over these years. Four crore pucca houses have been constructed over these years, which means a population of 20 crore people now have a permanent roof over their head. That is equivalent to the population of Japan.
Similarly, 12 crore fresh water tap connections means covering 60 crore people, which is more than the population of Europe. That is the magnitude of growth. That is a part of the social infrastructure growth.
Now, about economic infrastructure. We have constructed 74 airports in the last 9 years. Nearly 37,000 kilometers of railway electrification has been done. We have 21 world-class trains running in India and 111 water-ways. Sector after sector, the focus has been to build an economy which is productive and provides more opportunities to our people or entrepreneurs, industries and micro, medium and small scale enterprises.
Q. How was your recent US visit? Which companies did you meet? Where does India’s semiconductor ecosystem stand as of today?<\/strong>
A. Our focus has been on creating the ecosystem. In the recent US visit, I met with about 45 companies and 2 universities. They very candidly and sincerely advised us to focus on building the ecosystem and making sure that the 200-250 gases and chemicals industries, which require extremely high speciality, purity and precise composition are available in India. We have focused on the quality of electricity, getting the logistics right and making sure that the talent for semiconductor fabrication is in place.
The size of this industry is going to double in the next seven years - from current $650 billion to over 1 trillion. In the next seven years, industry will need over one million qualified and talented people to work in these semiconductor industries. India will become the semiconductor capital due to a variety of factors. And for that, we have to make sure that the ecosystem is in place by the time the first fabrication unit comes along.
Q. What are some of the companies that you met during the US tour?
<\/strong>
A. Our delegation met Applied Materials, Intel, AMD, DuPont, Cadence, IBM, Western Digital, Merck, TOK (Tokyo Ohka Kogyo), NEC, Renesas, LAM, and many other companies.
Q. What makes Dholera optimal for setting up semiconductor fabrication units?
<\/strong>
A. Gujarat government has done a lot to develop Dholera as a major centre for hi tech manufacturing.
It has 10,000 acres marked for semiconductor units, about 20,000 MW green energy. One fabrication unit needs about 300 - 500 MW.
There are five ports servicing the area. There is a very evolved pharmaceutical and chemical industry in Gujarat. Ability to handle speciality chemicals and gases is available there.
There will be multiple grids feeding power to Dholera units, so the quality of power is good. Now, everybody knows that ultra-pure water has to be manufactured. The international airports in vicinity and IIT Gandhinagar add more value.
Q. The government has re-opened the window for applicants to submit new applications to set up semiconductor fabrication units. What is the thought process there?
<\/strong>
A. The three proposals that we had initially are in the final stages of being evaluated. They can also move to the new window that we have announced.
We modified the Indian Semiconductor Mission scheme last October. That was based on the experience and the advice that we have got from experts who are in ISM.
Almost all of them suggested that the global semiconductor industry is going to have about 50-60% mature nodes and the rest would be advanced nodes. The mature nodes would be serving the electric vehicles, telecom, consumer and power electronics industries.
The leading nodes will be serving some specialised chips and smartphones, the compute power and memory chips which are going into data centres. The growth which was earlier primarily in compute and mobile devices<\/a> is now equalled by the growth in EV and telecom. With 5G proliferating all over the world, the growth in telecom is as big as the growth in electronics.
So the advice we got is that we should cover the entire spectrum and not limit our program to only 28 nanometres and smaller nodes. So we modified it in October. The original program was not applicable to the first three applicants because the process had closed on February 15. If any one of them wants to migrate to a new plan, they can do so.
Q. One of the original proposals was from the Vedanta-Foxconn JV. There are reports about some issues in the JV and that they would not be eligible for the incentives. Your thoughts?
<\/strong>
A. An expert team of technical and financial experts are evaluating every proposal. This is a new industry for India. That work is going on. We should be able to give you some firm information within the next three to four weeks.
Q. What are your expectations from the reopening of the window for applicants under the India Semiconductor Mission<\/a>?
<\/strong>
A. Some major players are looking at India as the next destination. Certainly, some players would like to come in the value addition category to begin with and then come with the fabrication part.
Q. Is there a revision in the incentive structure or the total incentives being offered under ISM, now that the window has been re-opened?
<\/strong>
A. On the total amount of incentives, we will take a call once we reach the initial limit of $10 billion that we set in December 2021. This is a 20-year program, and this is just the first step.
Q. The government has also come up with the PLI 2.0 scheme for IT hardware. Will the likes of Apple<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> be applying for this?
<\/strong>
A. Apple and Samsung are both present now in India and expanding. Their focus is now on getting the component ecosystem. As always, every industry starts with assembly activities. Once volume is created, then the component ecosystem starts coming in. So, we are at that phase in the development of electronics manufacturing. Our focus should be to make sure that we should go deep down into the ecosystem to have a strong foundation for rapid growth.

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.

同样,12卢比的淡水利用连接意味着覆盖60卢比的人来说,这比欧洲的人口。这是增长的大小。这是一个社会基础设施增长的一部分。
现在,关于经济基础设施。我们已经建造了74个机场在过去9年。近37000公里的铁路电气化已经完成。我们在印度有21个世界级的列车和111航道。部门后,部门,重点是建立一个经济生产和提供更多的机会,我们的人民或企业家、行业和微观、中小规模企业。
问:你最近我们参观吗?你遇到什么公司?印度的半导体生态系统今天站在哪里?
答:我们的重点是创建生态系统。在最近的美国访问,我会见了大约45公司和2所大学。他们非常坦率和真诚地建议我们关注建筑生态系统,并确保200 - 250年的气体和化学品行业,需要极高的专业,纯度和精确的成分在印度是可用的。我们专注于电能的质量,正确的物流,并确保半导体制造的人才。
这个行业的规模将翻倍在未来七年,从目前的6500亿到1万亿美元。在接下来的七年,行业将需要超过一百万个合格的和有才华的人在这些半导体行业工作。印度将成为半导体资本由于各种各样的因素。为此,我们必须确保生态系统是在第一个制造单元出现的时间。
问:什么是你见过的一些公司在美国旅游吗?
答:我们代表团会见了应用材料,Intel、AMD、杜邦、节奏、IBM、西部数据公司,默克,托托(东京Ohka Kogyo), NEC,瑞萨,LAM和许多其他公司。
问:是什么让Dholera最佳设置半导体制造单位吗?
a .古吉拉特邦政府做了很多开发Dholera作为主要的高科技制造业中心。
它有10000英亩标记为半导体单位,大约20000兆瓦的绿色能源。一个制造单元需要大约300 - 500兆瓦。
有五个港口服务。有一个非常进化制药和化工在古吉拉特邦。能够处理特种化学品和气体是可用的。
将会有多个电网输送功率Dholera单位,所以电力的质量是好的。现在,每个人都知道超纯水制造。国际机场附近,IIT Gandhinagar添加更多的价值。
问:政府已经重新申请人提交新的应用程序的窗口设置半导体制造单位。思维过程是什么?
答:我们最初的三个建议在被评估的最后阶段。他们还可以搬到新窗口,我们已宣布。
我们修改了去年10月印度半导体的任务计划。这是基于经验和专家的建议,我们必须在ISM。
几乎所有人认为全球半导体行业将有50 - 60%成熟的节点,其余的将先进的节点。成熟的节点将会服务于电动汽车,电信、消费和电力电子行业。
主要节点将提供一些专门的芯片和智能手机的计算能力和内存芯片进入数据中心。早期的增长主要是在计算和移动设备现在刚好与电动汽车的增长和电信。随着5 g的世界各地扩散,电信的增长和增长的电子一样大。
所以我们得到的建议是,我们应该覆盖整个频谱,而不是限制我们的节目只有28纳米和较小的节点。在10月份我们修改它。原计划并不适用于前三个申请者,因为关闭了2月15日。如果其中任何一个想要迁移到一个新计划,他们可以这样做。
问:最初的提案之一是Vedanta-Foxconn合资企业。有报道在合资公司中的一些问题,他们不会有资格获得激励。你的想法呢?
答:专家团队的技术和金融专家评估每一个提案。这是印度的一个新产业。那项工作。我们应该能够给你一些公司信息在未来三到四个星期。
问:什么是你的期望重新开放的窗口下的申请人印度半导体的使命吗?
答:一些主要参与者看印度是下一个目的地。当然,一些球员想进来的价值开始添加类别,然后一起制造的部分。
问:是否有一个修订的激励结构或总促销在ISM,现在已经重新窗吗?
答:激励的总量,我们将调用一旦我们达到初始极限我们设定在2021年12月的100亿美元。这是一个20年的程序,这只是第一步。
问:政府还拿出PLI 2.0方案硬件。会喜欢的苹果和三星这是申请?
答:苹果和三星都是现在在印度和扩大。他们的重点现在组成的生态系统。像往常一样,每一个行业开始装配活动。一旦创建卷,然后组件生态系统开始。所以,我们在电子制造业的发展阶段。我们的重点应该是确保我们要深入到生态系统快速发展的坚实基础。

什么是数字印度比尔的地位,以及数字个人数据保护法案和电信帐单吗?
答:数字个人数据保护法案将在议会的季风会话。草案…几乎准备好了。我们应该能够将其咨询在接下来的几周。
什么新会在数字印度比尔?
a .产业结构完全改变了过去20年。没有我们今天所看到的应用程序。现在的问题是我们应该如何创建一个框架,迎合几乎无处不在的互联网连接和相关用户的危害等问题,用户和隐私的保护。
印度数字法案也将处理责任的社交媒体平台。
第三个方面是对新兴技术。今天整个世界关注AI将如何影响社会和经济。我们面临的挑战是创造平衡,我们把好东西拿出来的新技术和限制会造成潜在的危害。
现在,技术的发展非常迅速。像DPDP法案,而不是把它规定,我们将国家原则基于哪些公司可以评估该做什么。
问:有认为信息技术法案的废除Section 79为第三方提供免疫网络中介内容?
答:社会媒体平台必须对他们负责出版。看,印度有多种语言,文化和其他方面使她非常多样化的国家。我们需要平台对我们的社会的需要。问责制必须有。
问:你的意见是什么人的最近的情况下让垃圾邮件等即时消息应用程序调用和消息WhatsApp吗?
答:许多已采取措施来预防网络诈骗。首先,如果有人的身份已经被用于欺诈连接,可以检查和断开连接。
第二,如果有人给错误的信息和连接,那么这也是断开连接。第一和第二连接到网络欺诈。
下一步是,如果有人给你打电话,你应该有权知道是谁来电。现在,在工作。一旦发生这种情况,网络欺诈行为将减少的重要组成部分。
问:你如何计划保持隐私的用户以及检查这些骗子,尤其是言过其实的调用和消息传递应用程序和了解你的客户规范?
答:接收电话的人的隐私一样重要的人的电话。如果有人闯入你的私人空间,你有权利知道这个人是谁之前,你回复消息或电话。当然,无论我们做什么必须通过隐私测试。
问:政府已经迈出了巨大的一步,沃达丰(Vodafone)想法的费转化为股本。但没有启动子注入或外部资本筹集到目前为止。这是担心吗?
的启动子不断告诉我们,他们正在研究它。我们希望一些发起人的努力的结果。但是是的,我们担心。这种延迟是真的担心我们。
Q. What are the major achievements of the government over the last 9 years?
<\/strong>
A. The fundamental change that the Prime Minister brought was shifting the political discourse - from keeping the poor as vote bank to sincerely and dedicatedly working towards permanent transformation in people's lives.
A few examples are the number of houses or electricity and fresh tap water connections that have been added over these years. Four crore pucca houses have been constructed over these years, which means a population of 20 crore people now have a permanent roof over their head. That is equivalent to the population of Japan.
Similarly, 12 crore fresh water tap connections means covering 60 crore people, which is more than the population of Europe. That is the magnitude of growth. That is a part of the social infrastructure growth.
Now, about economic infrastructure. We have constructed 74 airports in the last 9 years. Nearly 37,000 kilometers of railway electrification has been done. We have 21 world-class trains running in India and 111 water-ways. Sector after sector, the focus has been to build an economy which is productive and provides more opportunities to our people or entrepreneurs, industries and micro, medium and small scale enterprises.
Q. How was your recent US visit? Which companies did you meet? Where does India’s semiconductor ecosystem stand as of today?<\/strong>
A. Our focus has been on creating the ecosystem. In the recent US visit, I met with about 45 companies and 2 universities. They very candidly and sincerely advised us to focus on building the ecosystem and making sure that the 200-250 gases and chemicals industries, which require extremely high speciality, purity and precise composition are available in India. We have focused on the quality of electricity, getting the logistics right and making sure that the talent for semiconductor fabrication is in place.
The size of this industry is going to double in the next seven years - from current $650 billion to over 1 trillion. In the next seven years, industry will need over one million qualified and talented people to work in these semiconductor industries. India will become the semiconductor capital due to a variety of factors. And for that, we have to make sure that the ecosystem is in place by the time the first fabrication unit comes along.
Q. What are some of the companies that you met during the US tour?
<\/strong>
A. Our delegation met Applied Materials, Intel, AMD, DuPont, Cadence, IBM, Western Digital, Merck, TOK (Tokyo Ohka Kogyo), NEC, Renesas, LAM, and many other companies.
Q. What makes Dholera optimal for setting up semiconductor fabrication units?
<\/strong>
A. Gujarat government has done a lot to develop Dholera as a major centre for hi tech manufacturing.
It has 10,000 acres marked for semiconductor units, about 20,000 MW green energy. One fabrication unit needs about 300 - 500 MW.
There are five ports servicing the area. There is a very evolved pharmaceutical and chemical industry in Gujarat. Ability to handle speciality chemicals and gases is available there.
There will be multiple grids feeding power to Dholera units, so the quality of power is good. Now, everybody knows that ultra-pure water has to be manufactured. The international airports in vicinity and IIT Gandhinagar add more value.
Q. The government has re-opened the window for applicants to submit new applications to set up semiconductor fabrication units. What is the thought process there?
<\/strong>
A. The three proposals that we had initially are in the final stages of being evaluated. They can also move to the new window that we have announced.
We modified the Indian Semiconductor Mission scheme last October. That was based on the experience and the advice that we have got from experts who are in ISM.
Almost all of them suggested that the global semiconductor industry is going to have about 50-60% mature nodes and the rest would be advanced nodes. The mature nodes would be serving the electric vehicles, telecom, consumer and power electronics industries.
The leading nodes will be serving some specialised chips and smartphones, the compute power and memory chips which are going into data centres. The growth which was earlier primarily in compute and mobile devices<\/a> is now equalled by the growth in EV and telecom. With 5G proliferating all over the world, the growth in telecom is as big as the growth in electronics.
So the advice we got is that we should cover the entire spectrum and not limit our program to only 28 nanometres and smaller nodes. So we modified it in October. The original program was not applicable to the first three applicants because the process had closed on February 15. If any one of them wants to migrate to a new plan, they can do so.
Q. One of the original proposals was from the Vedanta-Foxconn JV. There are reports about some issues in the JV and that they would not be eligible for the incentives. Your thoughts?
<\/strong>
A. An expert team of technical and financial experts are evaluating every proposal. This is a new industry for India. That work is going on. We should be able to give you some firm information within the next three to four weeks.
Q. What are your expectations from the reopening of the window for applicants under the India Semiconductor Mission<\/a>?
<\/strong>
A. Some major players are looking at India as the next destination. Certainly, some players would like to come in the value addition category to begin with and then come with the fabrication part.
Q. Is there a revision in the incentive structure or the total incentives being offered under ISM, now that the window has been re-opened?
<\/strong>
A. On the total amount of incentives, we will take a call once we reach the initial limit of $10 billion that we set in December 2021. This is a 20-year program, and this is just the first step.
Q. The government has also come up with the PLI 2.0 scheme for IT hardware. Will the likes of Apple<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> be applying for this?
<\/strong>
A. Apple and Samsung are both present now in India and expanding. Their focus is now on getting the component ecosystem. As always, every industry starts with assembly activities. Once volume is created, then the component ecosystem starts coming in. So, we are at that phase in the development of electronics manufacturing. Our focus should be to make sure that we should go deep down into the ecosystem to have a strong foundation for rapid growth.

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.
Q. What new can we expect in the Digital India Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The industry structure has totally changed in the last 20 years. The applications which we see today were not there. The question now is how we should create a framework that caters to almost ubiquitous internet connectivity and related issues like user harm, protection of users and privacy.
The Digital India Bill will also deal with accountability of social media platforms.
The third aspect is on emerging technologies. The entire world is today concerned about how AI will affect societies and economies. Our challenge is to create that balance, where we take the good things out of this new technology and limit the potential harm that it can cause.
Now, technology evolves very rapidly. So, like the DPDP bill, instead of keeping it prescriptive, we will state out the principles based on which companies can evaluate what to do.
Q. Is there a thought to do away with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act which provides immunity to internet intermediaries for third party content?
<\/strong>
A. Social media platforms have to be accountable for what they are publishing. See, India has multiple languages, cultures and other aspects which makes her a remarkably diverse country. We need the platforms to be sensitive to our society's needs. Accountability has to be there.
Q. What are your views on the recent cases of people getting spam calls and messages on instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp?
<\/strong>
A. Many steps have been taken to prevent cyber frauds. The first is that if somebody's identity has been used to take a connection fraudulently, that can be checked and be disconnected.
The second is that if somebody is giving wrong information and taking a connection, then that is also disconnected. The first and second are connected to cyber fraud.
The next step is that if somebody is calling you, you should have the right to know who is calling. Right now, it is in the works. Once that happens, a significant part of the cyber fraud will reduce.
Q. How do you plan to maintain privacy for users as well as checking these frauds, especially with respect to over-the-top calling and messaging apps and the know-your-customer norms for them?
<\/strong>
A. The privacy of the person who receives the call is as important as someone who calls. If somebody is intruding into your private space, you have a right to know who that person is before you respond to that message or take that call. And of course, whatever we do will have to pass the privacy test.
Q. The government has taken a huge step by converting Vodafone Idea’s dues into equity. But there has been no promoter infusion or external capital raise so far. Is that a worry?
<\/strong>
A. The promoters have been continuously telling us that they are working on it. We hope some results of the efforts of the promoters are out soon. But yes, we are concerned. This delay is really worrying us.

Q. What is the status of the Digital India Bill, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill and the Telecom Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will be introduced in the Parliament in the Monsoon session. …the draft is almost ready. We should be able to bring it for consultation within the next few weeks.
Q. What new can we expect in the Digital India Bill?
<\/strong>
A. The industry structure has totally changed in the last 20 years. The applications which we see today were not there. The question now is how we should create a framework that caters to almost ubiquitous internet connectivity and related issues like user harm, protection of users and privacy.
The Digital India Bill will also deal with accountability of social media platforms.
The third aspect is on emerging technologies. The entire world is today concerned about how AI will affect societies and economies. Our challenge is to create that balance, where we take the good things out of this new technology and limit the potential harm that it can cause.
Now, technology evolves very rapidly. So, like the DPDP bill, instead of keeping it prescriptive, we will state out the principles based on which companies can evaluate what to do.
Q. Is there a thought to do away with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act which provides immunity to internet intermediaries for third party content?
<\/strong>
A. Social media platforms have to be accountable for what they are publishing. See, India has multiple languages, cultures and other aspects which makes her a remarkably diverse country. We need the platforms to be sensitive to our society's needs. Accountability has to be there.
Q. What are your views on the recent cases of people getting spam calls and messages on instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp?
<\/strong>
A. Many steps have been taken to prevent cyber frauds. The first is that if somebody's identity has been used to take a connection fraudulently, that can be checked and be disconnected.
The second is that if somebody is giving wrong information and taking a connection, then that is also disconnected. The first and second are connected to cyber fraud.
The next step is that if somebody is calling you, you should have the right to know who is calling. Right now, it is in the works. Once that happens, a significant part of the cyber fraud will reduce.
Q. How do you plan to maintain privacy for users as well as checking these frauds, especially with respect to over-the-top calling and messaging apps and the know-your-customer norms for them?
<\/strong>
A. The privacy of the person who receives the call is as important as someone who calls. If somebody is intruding into your private space, you have a right to know who that person is before you respond to that message or take that call. And of course, whatever we do will have to pass the privacy test.
Q. The government has taken a huge step by converting Vodafone Idea’s dues into equity. But there has been no promoter infusion or external capital raise so far. Is that a worry?
<\/strong>
A. The promoters have been continuously telling us that they are working on it. We hope some results of the efforts of the promoters are out soon. But yes, we are concerned. This delay is really worrying us.
