Why India imports it. TSMC monopoly on sub-5nm; India has no advanced logic fab and none planned at sub-28nm.
Why it matters. AI accelerators (H100, B200), smartphone SoCs and defence ASICs all rely on advanced nodes.
Can India localise it? Hard - 28nm first, advanced node 10+ year horizon.
Where it comes from. Taiwan (65%), USA (20%), South Korea (10%).
