The ecosystem from across the globe will mobilize to have India as their preferred semiconductor destination. On this historic occasion, I would like to thank Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji for his enduring vision to bring the semiconductor industry to the shores of our country.”- N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons
March 2024 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone through a virtual interaction for two facilities including a state-of-the-art semiconductor fab in Dholera, Gujarat and a Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) Facility in Jagiroad, Morigaon, Assam. The laying of the foundation stones is a significant milestone in Tata Electronics’ endeavour towards "Make in India, Make for the World".
Speaking at the occasion, N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons said, "Today, is indeed a special day for the Tata group – with the foundation stone being laid simultaneously for our projects in Dholera and Jagiroad 2,500 km apart. These semiconductor manufacturing hubs will have a lasting impact on the entire nation. The ecosystem from across the globe will mobilize to have India as their preferred semiconductor destination. On this historic occasion, I would like to thank Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji for his enduring vision to bring the semiconductor industry to the shores of our country.”
“We are grateful to the Government of India, the Government of Gujarat, and the Government of Assam. Today’s event is a significant boost to our historic journey of ‘India’s Techade: Chips for Viksit Bharat,” added Dr Randhir Thakur, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Electronics.
The Semiconductor Fabrication Facility in Dholera, Gujarat, is being developed in collaboration with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) of Taiwan.The new semiconductor Fab will manufacture chips for applications such as power management IC, display drivers, microcontrollers (MCU) and high-performance computing logic. With an investment of up to INR ₹91,000 crores, India's first AI-enabled Fab is poised to generate over 20,000 direct and indirect skilled jobs and establish India as a key supply chain partner in the global semiconductor industry.
The semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility is being developed in Jagiroad, Assam with an investment outlay of INR ₹27,000 crore and is expected to create over 27,000 direct and indirect jobs. The facility is strategically located near Guwahati.
Semiconductor assembly and test is a critical part of the semiconductor value chain where wafers manufactured by semiconductor fabs are assembled or packaged and then tested before they are finally used in the desired product. The facility will focus on crucial platform technologies - Wire Bond, Flip Chip, and Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP). These technologies are critical for key applications across the globe – like automotive, communications, computing and Artificial intelligence (AI). The facility will be a cornerstone in the industrialization of North-East India.
The new facilities being developed by Tata Electronics will bring a portfolio of cutting-edge semiconductor technologies, advanced skill set and talent, and a network of semiconductor manufacturing suppliers and ecosystem partners, resulting in foundational development of indigenous semiconductor ecosystem in India. This vision for indigenous semiconductor industry is projected to create over 1,00,000 skilled jobs.
