Why India imports it. India has no EUV lithography tools installed; chemically-amplified resists not on any domestic roadmap.

Why it matters. Sub-7nm chip dependency cascades into AI accelerators, defence-grade ASICs and advanced telecom chips.

Can India localise it? Hard - depends on EUV scanner access (ASML monopoly) and tin-droplet polymer chemistry.

Where it comes from. Japan (75%), USA (25%).
