Dutch chip equipment maker ASML (NASDAQ: ASML) attended the Semicon India summit in New Delhi to showcase its lithography portfolio and emphasize its commitment to supporting India's semiconductor industry. The company displayed its lithography systems, computational software, metrology, and inspection solutions, pitching for business opportunities in the region.

ASML's Chief Executive Officer, Christophe Fouquet, highlighted the company's dedication to supporting India's ambitions in the semiconductor sector. He emphasized that ASML's advanced lithography solutions can help Indian fabs achieve cutting-edge performance [2]. The company aims to deepen its collaboration with Indian companies in the year ahead [2].

The Semicon India summit is a significant event for the semiconductor industry, with global leaders like ASML, LAM Research, Merck Electronics, Applied Materials, AMD, and Tokyo Electron showcasing their technologies and pledging support for India's semiconductor ambitions [4]. India's semiconductor market is projected to exceed USD 55 billion by 2026 and USD 100 billion by 2030, fueled by strong demand in smartphones, automotive, and 5G IoT, alongside strong government support [3].

ASML's holistic lithography approach integrates advanced lithography systems, computational lithography software, metrology, and inspection tools, enabling chipmakers to produce smaller, more powerful chips while improving yield and performance [3]. This technology can help emerging fabs in India to maximize their process window, reduce edge placement errors, and increase the number of good wafers per day, enabling smoother capacity ramps and access to scalable, future-proof technologies [3].

India's semiconductor push is part of a broader trend of countries seeking to secure their technological futures and reduce reliance on other regions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi aims to establish a credible domestic chip industry, with the first made-in-India chips expected to hit markets by year-end [2]. ASML's advanced lithography technologies are well-positioned to support this goal, offering a potential new market for the company's machines.

ASML's presence at the Semicon India summit follows its recent hedging of growth outlook for next year due to trade disputes weighing on semiconductor sales [2]. The company has faced challenges in its relationship with China, which was its second-largest market in the second quarter of 2025 [2]. However, ASML remains committed to supporting India's semiconductor ambitions and is eager to explore new opportunities in the region.
