New Delhi will host SEMICON India 2026 from September 17 to 19 at Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi scheduled to open the fifth edition. Days before the show, Tracxn published a funding tally that sketches how thin private capital still is against the industry’s ambitions.
Across 281 funded companies, the sector has attracted $1.4B in all-time equity. Just over half of that, $701M, arrived from 2025 onward. The 2026 year-to-date figure stands at $228M.
Of 3,557 companies counted in the sector, only 142 have raised equity at all. Tessolve Semiconductor tops the cumulative table with $213M. ILJIN Electronics follows at $198M, then VVDN at $129M.
Business models split the money unevenly. Electronic manufacturing services drew $313M since 2025. Embedded hardware came second at $51.9M, all of it inside the past twelve months. Power management ICs and fabless design houses are the other leading buckets.
Services and packaging absorbing the bulk of funding points to how far India sits from volume wafer production, where a single project can cost more than the sector’s entire equity pool. Semicon 2.0, notified in late August with smaller fab subsidies, tries to shift that risk off private balance sheets.
