Indian semiconductor manufacturers are facing tough times as the US has banned export of crucial equipment and photoresists to some Chinese semiconductor manufacturers.

Ever since the US banned the export of crucial equipment and photoresists to some Chinese semiconductor manufacturers, Indian semiconductor manufacturers have been "targeted" as well, according to Indian business magazine Outlook.

The magazine reports that Indian manufacturers source their equipment from foreign manufacturers who have their bases in the US. These include Indian companies such as Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL) and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

The export ban could affect the ability of these companies to get supplies, which would mean that they would have to go through intermediaries.

"There is a significant amount of uncertainty on the flows, and we may have to reorient our supply chain strategy," said a person familiar with the matter.

The ban could also affect the Make in India campaign, which seeks to encourage local production and boost local manufacturing, as semiconductor manufacturers were considered a key focus of this initiative.

It remains to be seen how Indian companies will be affected by this, but with India's growing importance on the global stage, it is clear that the country will need to find a solution to this developing problem.
