Fujifilm, announced a landmark investment for a new greenfield semiconductor materials manufacturing facility in India, marking a significant step in the company’s commitment to strengthening the country’s semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. Aligned with the Government of India’s vision under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) 2.0, the project will follow a two-phase, staggered investment strategy aligned with industry growth and customer demand, with a total investment of approximately ₹800 Crores (~US$83 million). Phase 1 is scheduled to break ground in the financial year 2026, aiming for commercial production at the greenfield manufacturing facility in the fiscal year 2028.
Speaking at SEMICON India 2025, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi Ji remarked, “Chips are digital diamonds, underscoring that “India will hold a significant share in this $1 trillion market”. In September 2026, India’s semiconductor sector has now moved beyond initial policy approvals to active production. Currently, 12 approved semiconductor and display manufacturing units are in progress, representing a total investment of approximately $20 billion, with three facilities already producing commercial chips. Through this investment, FUJIFILM India’s semiconductor materials business aims to play a key role in the industry by developing the front-end semiconductor materials ecosystem, enhancing local supply chain resilience. While Phase 1 of the investment is being undertaken to support Front-End Process Chemicals, Phase 2 of the investment will undertake the area of Semiconductor Surface Conditioning Materials and High-Purity chemicals basis the actual pace of development of the semiconductor industry in the years to come.
Fujifilm will work closely with the vision of the India Semiconductor Mission and seeks to utilize the patronage of the Government of India under the ISM 2.0 policy which was approved by the Government of India in July 2026. Fujifilm is committed to advancing the semiconductor industry by offering comprehensive, one-stop solutions that address customer challenges across nearly all stages of semiconductor manufacturing from cutting-edge to legacy nodes. Leveraging a broad product portfolio, a reliable global supply network with manufacturing bases in Japan, the United States, Europe, and Asia, and cutting-edge research and development capabilities, Fujifilm will continue to drive innovation and support industry growth worldwide.
