The Union Cabinet approves two more semiconductor projects under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) with an investment of more than Rs. 3936 Crore. India’s first commercial Mini/Macro LED display; the facility is based on GaN(Gallium Nitride) Technology and a semiconductor facility. These two approvals are expected to generate more than 2,230 employment opportunities for skilled professionals in Gujarat.
Crystal Matrix Limited (CML) will establish a compound facility semiconductor fabrication. The annual capacity for Mini/Micro-LED display panels is 72,000 sq. meters, and for Mini/Macro LED GaN Epitaxy Wafers is 24,000 sets of RGB wafers. Primarily, these products will be used in large displays for TVs and signage/commercial displays, medium-sized displays for tablets, smartphones, car displays, and Micro displays for Extended Reality(XR) glasses and smart watches.
Suchi Semiconductor Private Limited (SSPL) will set up an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test(OSAT) facility in Surat, Gujarat, with a production capacity of 1033.20 million chips per annum. The aim is to include power electronics, analog ICs, industrial systems, automotive, industrial automation, and customer electronics.
These two approvals are enhanced by infrastructure support from 315 academic institutions and 104 start-ups across the country. Two projects have already initiated the commercial shipment, and two more are expected to start soon. It would add to the growing world-class chip manufacturing in India.
