    India has achieved a major milestone in semiconductor innovation with the unveiling of the country’s first indigenous 32-bit microprocessor, ‘Vikram’ (VIKRAM3201), at Semicon India 2025. Union Minister for Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw presented the chip to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking a breakthrough in India’s push for semiconductor self-reliance under the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

    ISRO’s Vikram Microprocessor: Built for Space Missions

    Developed jointly by ISRO’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and the Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL) under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), the Vikram microprocessor is engineered to operate in the harsh conditions of space.

    • Temperature Range: Can withstand extreme conditions, from -55°C to 125°C.
    • Backward Compatibility: Fully compatible with the VIKRAM1601 processor, which has been powering ISRO’s launch vehicles since 2009.
    • High Reliability: Supports Ada programming language, widely used in critical systems such as satellites, avionics, and air traffic control.
    • Advanced Features: Includes a floating-point computation unit for precise mathematical calculations such as trajectory analysis, sensor data processing, and even 3D graphics rendering.

    Key Features of Vikram (VIKRAM3201)

    • Proprietary Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) for optimized performance
    • Open-source toolchain compatibility along with a dedicated IDE and simulator
    • Flight software qualified, ensuring readiness for space applications

    ISRO confirmed that the processor is designed not only for robustness but also for long-term reliability, ensuring seamless navigation and control functions in space missions.

    India’s Semiconductor Push Gains Momentum

    Speaking at Semicon India 2025, Minister Vaishnaw highlighted India’s rapid progress in the semiconductor sector:

    “Here we are today, in a short span of 3.5 years, we have the world looking at India with confidence. Today, the construction of 5 semiconductor units is going on at a rapid pace. The pilot line of 1 unit is complete and we just presented the first Made in India chip to Hon’ble PM here,” the Union IT Minister said at Semicon India 2025.

    In addition to the Vikram processor, two new chip fabrication plants are expected to roll out their first chips within the next few months. This signals India’s growing role in the global semiconductor supply chain.

    Why This Matters for India

    The introduction of the Vikram microprocessor represents more than a technological achievement; it is a step towards strategic independence in semiconductor technology, reducing reliance on imports for critical applications. With ISRO leading the way, India is positioning itself as a future hub for semiconductor design, manufacturing, and innovation.
