i was thinking how come India didn't take China's approach to prop up their own foundry like SMIC. since India seem to have a need for semis. from the article:

"India’s semiconductor demand is said to be valued at around US$24 billion and is expected to reach US$100 billion by 2025. The country’s semiconductor demand currently is entirely met through imports."

How much of that is replaceable though? Most of those are Intel/AMD/etc chips that you can't just drop in another foundry to replace.
