India and South Korea have strengthened their strategic partnership, focusing on technology-driven collaboration in semiconductors and sustainable energy. This shift moves beyond traditional trade to address global supply chain challenges and geopolitical tensions.
The semiconductor partnership supports India’s ambition to become a global chip hub by 2030. India is building fabrication plants and supply chains, while South Korea, home to Samsung and SK Hynix, offers expertise, investment, and technology to boost the sector.
Collaborative R&D in AI chips, 3D packaging, and joint innovation hubs will reduce India’s reliance on China-centric supply chains. India plans to develop a skilled semiconductor workforce and support fabless design startups to integrate into the global value chain.
In energy, both countries focus on renewable solutions, green hydrogen, and battery storage to stabilize power grids. South Korea’s advanced technology complements India’s clean energy goals, enabling joint ventures, technology transfer, and accelerated sustainable growth.
