New Delhi: India has been left out of the US-led strategic initiative, Pax Silica alliance, unveiled on December 12, 2025, with founding members including the US, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Singapore, the UK, and Israel, highlighting India\u2019s diminishing credibility on the global stage.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, experts and opposition leaders say the exclusion exposes India\u2019s domestic failures in semiconductors. The country still lacks advanced fabs beyond 7nm, relies heavily on assembly and testing, and suffers shortages in silicon wafers, high-purity chemicals, specialized talent, and essential infrastructure such as stable power and water. The India Semiconductor Mission\u2019s incentives fall short against $5\u201310 billion per-fab costs, Taiwan and South Korea competition, production risks, and uncertain demand, rendering Modi\u2019s \u201ctech superpower\u201d rhetoric hollow.<\/p>\n

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticized the diplomatic setback, saying, \u201cGiven the sharp downturn in Trump\u2013Modi ties since May 10, 2025, it is perhaps not very surprising that India has not been included.\u201d He termed the episode a \u201cmissed opportunity,\u201d noting India\u2019s global credibility loss, Pakistan\u2019s regional gains, and the country\u2019s BRICS alignment alienating Washington.<\/p>\n

Analysts say being bypassed for alliances like Pax Silica signals India\u2019s unreliability and irrelevance at the global tech table. While the US, Japan, South Korea, and Australia secure AI and semiconductor dominance, India faces diplomatic isolation. Replacing India with Israel and Singapore further exposes cracks in Modi\u2019s tech diplomacy and downgrades India\u2019s international influence.<\/p>\n

Following repeated failures in strategic planning and international engagement, Pakistan is emerging as a key regional player, while India\u2019s global stature suffers under Modi\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
