India to welcome three more semiconductor plants after PM Modi inaugurated Micron’s plant last week, on February 28.
Since the commencement of the India Semiconductor Mission in 2021, India has developed its semiconductor ecosystem exponentially, with four out of ten plants already approved and three more to be inaugurated in 2026 itself. The government further accelerated this by introducing catalyst initiatives like the PLI scheme.
With semiconductors being the core of any modern technology, the demand has grown multifold, and India is pioneering to become a competitive manufacturer for semiconductor to meet the global demand.
India has given approval to ten semiconductor plants in six states with an investment of about Rs 1.60 lakh crore.
As per government records, the approved list of semiconductor plants other than the recently inaugurated Micron plant is as follows:-
- Tata Electronics (Dholera, Gujarat): Semiconductor fab in partnership with PSMC, Taiwan.
- CG Power (Sanand, Gujarat): OSAT facility in partnership with Renesas & Stars.
- Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test (TSAT) (Morigaon, Assam): Semiconductor packaging facility.
- Kaynes Semicon Pvt Ltd (Sanand, Gujarat): OSAT facility.
- HCL-Foxconn JV (Location TBD): Semiconductor packaging and testing.
- SiCSem Private Limited: Compound semiconductor manufacturing.
- 3D Glass Solutions Inc.: Advanced substrate manufacturing.
- Advanced System in Package (ASIP) Technologies: Assembly and testing.
- Continental Device India Private Limited (CDIL): Discrete semiconductor fab.
The evolving semiconductor landscape in India is expected to generate over two lakh jobs, secure supply chains, as well as strengthen the AI, EV, and defence sectors.
