Aiming to make India a semiconductor hub, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken up the 'India Techcade: Chips for Vikshit Bharat' program, essentially laying the foundation stone for three semiconductor projects worth Rs 1.25 billion. Built. The Tata Group plans to set up two of these three new factories.
The facilities inaugurated today are a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Gujarat's Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR), an outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility in Morigaon, Assam, and another OSAT facility in Sanand, Gujarat.
“Today is a truly special day for the Tata Group. The foundation stones of our projects in Dholera and Jagiroad, 2,500 km apart, have been laid simultaneously. These semiconductor manufacturing hubs will have a lasting impact on the entire country. The global ecosystem is coming together to make India a priority export destination for semiconductors. We will create over 50,000 jobs and this is just the beginning. Chip shortages during the pandemic We have recognized our dependence on international supply chains.As a result, the domestic semiconductor industry is essential to the indigenous industry,'' said N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons.
Tata Electronics' semiconductor manufacturing facility in Dholera, Gujarat, is being developed in collaboration with Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC), one of the world's leading semiconductor companies. With an investment of up to Rs 91,000 crore, India's first AI-enabled factory is poised to create over 20,000 direct and indirect skilled jobs.
The new semiconductor fab will produce chips for applications such as power management ICs, display drivers, microcontrollers (MCUs), and high-performance computing logic, and will serve markets such as automotive, computing and data storage, wireless communications, and artificial intelligence. Respond to growing demand. The facility has a manufacturing capacity of up to 50,000 wafers per month and establishes India as a key supply chain partner in the global semiconductor industry.
The OSAT facility at Jagiroad in Assam is being developed at an investment of Rs 27,000 crore and is expected to generate over 27,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Semiconductor assembly and testing is a critical part of the semiconductor value chain, where wafers produced in semiconductor factories are assembled or packaged and tested before they are ultimately used in the intended product. The facility will focus on key platform technologies such as wire bond, flip chip and integrated system packaging (ISP). These technologies are critical to key applications around the world, including automotive, communications, computing, and artificial intelligence (AI).
The new facility being developed by Tata Electronics will bring a portfolio of cutting-edge semiconductor technologies, advanced skill sets and talent, and a network of semiconductor manufacturing suppliers and ecosystem partners, resulting in the foundation of India's unique semiconductor ecosystem. development will result. This vision for the local semiconductor industry is expected to create more than 100,000 skilled jobs.
