Micron launches $2.75 billion semiconductor assembly and test facility in Gujarat to support global AI-driven demand.
Micron Technology has celebrated the grand launch of its semiconductor assembly and test facility in Sanand, Gujarat.
The new facility converts advanced DRAM and NAND wafers from Micron’s global manufacturing network into finished memory and storage products. Once the first phase is fully operational, the plant will have more than 500,000 square feet of cleanroom space, making it one of the largest single-floor assembly and test cleanrooms in the world. The facility will supply memory products to customers around the world, especially as demand grows due to artificial intelligence technologies.
The project represents a combined investment of about $2.75 billion by Micron and its government partners. It is expected to strengthen semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in India.
According to Sanjay Mehrotra, Chairman, President and CEO of Micron Technology, the facility marks an important milestone for both the company and India’s growing semiconductor industry. He added that the site will help build a stronger semiconductor ecosystem and support the global AI economy.
During the launch event, Micron delivered its first shipment of memory modules made in India to Dell Technologies. These modules will be used in laptops manufactured in India for the domestic market.
Micron expects the Sanand facility to assemble and test tens of millions of chips in 2026 and increase production to hundreds of millions by 2027. The new facility will also strengthen Micron’s global assembly and test network alongside its manufacturing and packaging plans in the United States.
The plant has been built following Micron’s sustainability and safety standards. It is designed to meet or exceed LEED Gold certification requirements and uses advanced water-saving technologies to achieve zero liquid discharge.
