Taiwan is looking to expand its technological presence in India, driven by growing demand from the United States and the need for diversified supply chains. According to a senior official from Taiwan’s trade body, the island nation sees India as a vital partner in electronics manufacturing, semiconductor development, and broader digital industries.

Push for Diversification Beyond China

With geopolitical tensions and supply chain vulnerabilities in focus, Taiwan is aiming to reduce overdependence on China by building new alliances. India, with its booming digital economy and government-backed manufacturing incentives, has emerged as a prime destination for Taiwanese companies seeking to expand operations.

U.S. Market Demand Fuels Expansion Strategy

The rising demand for advanced technology products in the U.S. has further encouraged Taiwanese firms to explore India as a manufacturing and research hub. Industry leaders believe that collaboration between Taiwanese expertise in semiconductors and India’s growing IT and engineering talent can create a mutually beneficial ecosystem.

Trade Body Highlights Future Collaboration

The trade body chief emphasized that Taiwan is not only looking at investments in hardware but also in areas such as AI, IoT, and green technologies. By aligning with India’s “Make in India” and “Digital India” initiatives, Taiwan hopes to strengthen bilateral trade ties while positioning India as a global production hub.

Opportunities in Semiconductors and Electronics

India’s recent push for semiconductor manufacturing has caught Taiwan’s attention, given its leadership in chip production. Taiwanese companies are expected to play a key role in supporting India’s ambition to become a semiconductor powerhouse, potentially reducing global reliance on a few concentrated supply chains.
