Prime Minister Narendra Modi today visited a semiconductor facility in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, along with his Japanese counterpart Shigeru Ishiba, as the two leaders explored avenues for deeper cooperation in building resilient chip supply chains.
The leaders toured Tokyo Electron Miyagi Ltd (TEL Miyagi), a leading Japanese company in the semiconductor sector, where PM Modi was briefed on the firm’s role in the global value chain, its manufacturing capabilities, and potential collaborations with India.

Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation under the Japan–India Semiconductor Supply Chain Partnership, as well as other bilateral frameworks, officials said.
“The joint visit highlighted the shared vision of India and Japan to build robust, resilient and trusted semiconductor supply chains,” a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office said.
Following the visit, Ishiba hosted a lunch for Modi in Sendai, which was also attended by the Governor of Miyagi Prefecture and other dignitaries.
