March 2026 : In a defining moment for the global tech supply chain, Micron Technology officially opened its state-of-the-art semiconductor assembly and test facility in Sanand, Gujarat. This landmark $2.75 billion investment marks the first of its kind in India, signaling the nation's formal entry into the high-stakes world of commercial chip production
The massive facility, boasting a 500,000-square-foot cleanroom - one of the largest single-floor cleanrooms in the world - will transform advanced DRAM and NAND wafers into finished memory and storage solutions. These "Made-in-India" chips are destined to fuel the global AI economy, powering everything from data centers to personal electronics.
The grand opening was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. In a symbolic gesture of the "Make in India" vision, Micron presented its very first shipment of India-made memory modules to Dell Technologies for use in laptops manufactured locally. "Today is a proud moment for Micron and India's growing semiconductor industry," said Sanjay Mehrotra, Chairman, President and CEO of Micron Technology. “This pioneering facility, the first assembly and test site of its kind in the country, helps build a resilient ecosystem that underpins the global AI economy."
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw hailed the opening as a strategic pivot for the country’s economy. “The inauguration of Micron’s semiconductor facility in Sanand marks a historic milestone as Bharat begins its first commercial semiconductor chip production,” said Ashwini Vaishnaw. “India is now moving from being a consumer of chips to becoming a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing and innovation.”
Beyond hardware, Micron is aggressively investing in local talent through partnerships with universities like Namtech and PDEU. Furthermore, the Sanand site sets a high bar for sustainability, designed to meet LEED Gold standards with advanced zero-liquid-discharge water systems.
With plans to scale production to hundreds of millions of chips by 2027, India has officially plugged into the heart of the global semiconductor network.
