India formally joined Pax Silica in February marking a significant step in technology cooperation between New Delhi and Washington.

“We are working with Congress to allocate USD 250 million for a new Pax Silica Fund initiative to strengthen secure, reliable semiconductor supply chains. The United States remains the partner of choice for Pax Silica signatories committed to securing strategic layers of the global technology supply chain,” US Undersecretary of State Jacob S Helberg said in a post on X.
