The U.S. invited India to join Pax Silica, a tech alliance to secure critical supply chains, on January 12, 2026.

The United States plans to invite India to join Pax Silica, a U.S.-led initiative launched in December 2025 to secure the global silicon supply chain, including semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and critical minerals. The coalition, which includes Japan, South Korea, Australia, Israel, Singapore, the UK, the Netherlands, UAE, and the EU, aims to reduce reliance on China and strengthen trusted technology partnerships. India’s inclusion, announced by newly appointed U.S. Ambassador Sergio Gor on January 12, 2026, reflects its growing role in global tech and manufacturing. The move underscores broader U.S. efforts to build resilient supply chains amid geopolitical competition, despite ongoing trade tensions, including U.S. tariffs on Indian goods linked to energy purchases from Russia.
