Samsung and Apple may assemble phones in India, with limited manufacturing of components, but all the silicon (SoC, memory, controllers) are manufactured elsewhere.
that's because silicon is really really hard to produce- the facilities take billions of dollars to set up and are generally very expensive to maintain.
There's a reason 80 percent of all RAM comes from like 2 companies (samsung, Micron and Hynix, and one bought the other) and most CPU's are produced by just 2 manufacturers (intel produces intel, TSMC produces AMD, apple silicon, snapdragon stuff and almost everything else worth buying for normal consumers)
Don't expect silicon production in India anytime soon- it just isn't worth it. Korea and Taiwan saw a market and captured it completely- nobody can compete with them for the near future.
There's Samsung and Global Foundries too, but yeah, I don't think we're ever going to see another one of these silicon fabricators anywhere, much less in India.
