India is officially in the semiconductor race, and it’s making a loud entrance! In a historic breakthrough, IIT Madras and ISRO have joined forces to develop IRIS (Indigenous RISC-V Controller for Space Applications)—India’s first-ever homegrown space-grade semiconductor chip.
What Makes the IRIS Chip a Space Tech BEAST?
1.Designed for ISRO’s Deep-Space Missions – Built to withstand the unforgiving void of space, ensuring flawless performance in extreme conditions.
2.100% Made in India – No More Dependence on Foreign Chips! – Every single component, from design to fabrication, testing to packaging, has been developed in India, proving our technological self-reliance.
3.Blazing-Fast Processing & Fault-Tolerant Memory – Ensures zero data loss and lightning-speed computations for complex space missions.
4.Built for the Future – The IRIS chip isn’t just for today’s satellites; it’s engineered to power AI-driven space probes, interplanetary missions, and next-gen spacecraft!

Who Made It Happen?
Some of India’s most powerful tech institutions joined forces to create IRIS:
-IIT Madras – The mastermind behind the SHAKTI processor, from which IRIS evolved.
-ISRO’s Semi-Conductor Lab (SCL), Chandigarh – The core fabrication powerhouse that made IRIS a reality.
-Tata Advanced Systems, Karnataka – Precision-driven chip packaging that meets aerospace standards.
-PCB Power, Gujarat – Developing motherboards that connect the IRIS chip to ISRO’s cutting-edge spacecraft systems.
-Syrma SGS, Chennai – The final assembly team bringing the technology to life.
For decades, India depended on foreign semiconductor giants for its space missions. But NO MORE! With the IRIS chip, India is now on equal footing with the USA, China, and Europe.
With the government’s $10 billion Semiconductor Mission, India isn’t stopping at space chips. Get ready for AI-powered processors, 6G-ready semiconductors, and defense-grade microchips—all built in India!
