The proposed unit, under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), will produce nearly 60 lakh chips per day. The chips produced in this unit will cater to a variety of applications which include segments such as industrial, automotive, electric vehicles, consumer electronics, telecom and mobile phones, etc.

In March, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of three semiconductor projects worth Rs 1.25 lakh crore.

Tata Electronics is setting up a semiconductor fab in Dholera, Gujarat and one semiconductor unit in Morigaon, Assam.

CG Power is setting up one semiconductor unit in Sanand. These units will produce lakhs of direct and indirect jobs.

Ministry of Electronics and IT said construction of all four semiconductor units is progressing at a rapid pace and a robust semiconductor ecosystem is emerging near the units.

These four units will bring an investment of almost Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The cumulative capacity of these units is about 7 crore chips per day.

The Programme for Development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystem in India was notified in 2021 with a total outlay of Rs 76,000 crore.

India’s semiconductor-related market will reach $64 billion in 2026, nearly triple the size in 2019, according to industry reports.
