Question

Accepted Answer

B. 2 only — Statement 1 is incorrect because the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme provides financial incentives and infrastructure support specifically for semiconductor design, not for physical manufacturing or packaging (ATMP/OSAT) facilities. Statement 2 is correct as these companies are leading the transition to large-scale commercial chip production in 2026.
