India’s semiconductor ambitions gain momentum as 10 chip manufacturing projects worth ₹1600 billion move from policy vision to on-ground execution.
India’s semiconductor strategy is entering an execution phase, with 10 approved semiconductor projects involving investments of nearly ₹1600 billion forming the backbone of the country’s push to build a self-reliant electronics manufacturing ecosystem under the Semicon India Programme.
Global memory company Micron Technology is establishing a semiconductor assembly and test facility in Gujarat with an investment of ₹225.16 billion, producing DRAM and NAND products with a capacity of around 14 million units per week.
India’s largest bet comes from Tata Electronics Private Limited, which is setting up a ₹915.26 billion semiconductor fabrication plant in Gujarat in partnership with Taiwan’s PSMC, alongside a ₹271.2 billion packaging facility in Assam capable of producing 48 million units per day.
Strengthening the ecosystem further, CG Power and Industrial Solutions Limited is building a ₹75.84 billion semiconductor unit in Gujarat with technology support from Renesas and STARS Microelectronics, while Kaynes Technology India Limited has launched a ₹33.07 billion packaging facility producing over 6.33 million chips daily.
In Uttar Pradesh, Vama Sundari Investments Pvt Ltd, in partnership with Foxconn, is establishing a ₹37.06 billion display driver IC facility with an output of 36 million chips per month.
Advanced packaging and speciality semiconductor manufacturing are expanding through projects by 3D Glass Solutions Inc. and SiCSem Private Limited in Odisha, while Continental Device India Pvt Ltd is expanding power semiconductor production in Punjab. Advanced System in Package Technologies Pvt Ltd is also setting up a System-in-Package facility in Andhra Pradesh.
Alongside manufacturing, the government is strengthening chip design capabilities by providing advanced design tools to 315 universities, enabling over 200 chip tape-outs and supporting startups working on processors for drones, IoT, surveillance and satellite communications.
The semiconductor expansion complements India’s rapidly growing electronics sector, which now supports nearly 25 lakh jobs. With India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 announced in Budget 2026-27, the next phase will focus on semiconductor materials, equipment manufacturing and indigenous IP signalling India’s transition into large-scale chip manufacturing.
