India joins US-led initiative to build secure technology supply chains
India joins a coalition of 12 nations to secure semiconductor and AI supply chains, aiming to reduce dependency on China and deepen technology ties with the US.
- On Friday, India formally joined the US-led Pax Silica initiative launched December 2025, signing at the AI Impact Summit’s fifth day with senior government leaders present.
- The Pax Silica framework aims to secure the full technology stack, from critical minerals to AI model development, reflecting India's strategic response to 2020 supply vulnerabilities amid US–China competition.
- Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Electronics and Information Technology, said the moment transcends a ceremonial signing as India's engineers design two-nanometer chips and Micron commits $2.75 billion in Gujarat, with Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron CEO, noting closer technology collaboration.
- By signing, India joined an effort to reduce coercive dependencies and diversify supply chains, signaling closer strategic ties between New Delhi and Washington in AI and advanced manufacturing.
- Ambassador Sergio Gor described Pax Silica as potentially shaping the 21st-century economic order, emphasizing India’s IT talent and US technology, noting that last year’s 50 per cent tariff hike strained ties.
