India joins America-led Pax Silica supply chain effort to build semiconductor talent and reduce reliance on China — agreement spans from rare earths to chipmaking tools
India has formally joined the U.S.-led Pax Silica supply chain initiative, becoming the 12th member nation focused on securing end-to-end technology supply chains from rare earths to chipmaking. This move strengthens a geopolitical bloc aimed at reducing reliance on China for critical components and AI infrastructure.
This long-term policy shift could gradually reshape global semiconductor and rare earth supply flows, but immediate trading impact is uncertain.
