Fabless semiconductor firm Vervesemi Microelectronics on Friday announced its roadmap for a portfolio of advanced integrated circuits (ICs) aimed at bolstering India’s self-reliance in chip design and manufacturing.
The Bengaluru-based company said it plans to begin volume production of multiple chips by late 2026 or early 2027, including a BLDC controller ASIC for small motor applications such as fans and appliances under MeitY’s Chips to Startup (C2S) programme, and a precision motor-control ASIC for electric vehicles, drones and industrial automation under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme.
Other products in development include ICs for aerospace data acquisition, next-generation weighing systems, bridge sensors, and high-precision smart energy metering. Engineering samples of some products are expected by end-2025.
“Our chips incorporate embedded machine learning, enabling self-healing, predictive diagnostics, and improved fabrication yields. These innovations mark a turning point for India’s semiconductor ecosystem,” said Rakesh Malik, Founder and CEO of Vervesemi. “By building high-performance, Made-in-India ICs, we are not only driving import substitution but also showcasing India’s capability to lead on the global semiconductor stage.”
The company, which holds over 110 IPs, 25 IC SKUs, 10 patents and five trade secrets, exports semiconductor intellectual property (IPs) globally. Its machine learning-powered analog chain IPs are already embedded in products of leading international manufacturers.
The government has approved 23 semiconductor design projects under the DLI scheme to strengthen India’s chip-making capabilities. The projects, driven by domestic startups and MSMEs, aim to develop indigenous chips and System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions for applications ranging from surveillance cameras and energy meters to networking systems and microprocessor IPs.
As many as 72 companies have also been given access to industry-standard Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools to support chip design, MeitY officials said.
Highlighting the vision, Sunita Verma, Group Coordinator (R&D) at MeitY, said India aspired to be a global leader in semiconductor design, “envisioning a future where every device in the world has a designed-in-India chip.”
