The meeting was held on Wednesday.

PM Modi examined notable best practices related to the development of the Semiconductor Ecosystem in India. He said that such initiatives can serve as a guiding model for others and inspire broader adoption across states and union territories, thereby strengthening the National Semiconductor Mission.

According to the government, up to the present PRAGATI meetings, 373 projects having a total cost of around Rs 20.64 lakh crore have been reviewed.
