The Tata Group has inaugurated a \u20b927,000 crore semiconductor assembly and test facility in Assam, aiming to produce 15 billion chips annually. This landmark project, set to be operational by next year, aligns with the Indian government\u2019s semiconductor mission and is poised to transform Assam into a key player in the global semiconductor ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facility, located in Jagiroad, Assam<\/strong>, will package 15 billion semiconductor chips per year. These chips will be used in various high-tech products, including electric vehicles, healthcare devices, mobile phones, and laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bhoomi Pujan ceremony marks the commencement of India\u2019s first indigenous semiconductor assembly and testing facility. The factory is expected to partially commence operations by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran highlighted the group\u2019s comprehensive strategy, which includes establishing manufacturing capabilities in Tamil Nadu, packaging facilities in Karnataka, an advanced chip manufacturing plant in Gujarat, and now, the assembly and test facility in Assam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation for the Gujarat and Assam facilities via a virtual ceremony earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project is anticipated to create over 27,000 direct and indirect jobs in the region. The Tata Group is already training 1,000 local Assamese individuals in various facilities across India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma<\/strong> assured that the state government and its people are fully supportive of the project, emphasizing the unique opportunity and significant benefits it brings to Assam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chandrasekaran envisions the Assam facility as the nucleus of a thriving electronics hub. The expansion is expected to attract numerous semiconductor ecosystem companies to the region, fostering a robust electronics industry corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The facility will enable direct shipping of semiconductor chips to global end-users and OEMs, reinforcing India\u2019s position in the semiconductor value chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Tata Group has inaugurated a \u20b927,000 crore semiconductor assembly and test facility in Assam, aiming to produce 15 billion chips annually.
