As per PTI, citing project director of Tata Projects Amit Agrawal, 60% of the work on India's first semiconductor plant has already been completed, the rest will be finished by the end of this year
The semiconductor facility at Sanand is expected to create around 20,000 job opportunities
Tata Electronics is also working towards establishing Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) semiconductor fab unit in Gujarat’s Dholera
Tata Projects has reportedly said that it is set to complete the construction work of Micron Technology’s semiconductor assembly and test facility near Ahmedabad by the year end.
As per PTI, citing project director of Tata Projects Amit Agrawal, 60% of the work on India’s first semiconductor plant has already been completed, the rest will be finished by the end of this year.
The construction for the Micron’s semiconductor facility started in July last year.
The semiconductor Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packaging (ATMP) facility would cover nearly 50 acres of area at Sanand industrial area.
“An ATMP facility is essentially a backend fab facility where testing, packaging and marking of semiconductors are carried out. This is perhaps the largest back-end semiconductor fab unit in the world. So far, 60 per cent of work has been completed on Phase-1 with the help of a total workforce of 3,500,” said Agrawal.
The facility is expected to create around 20,000 job opportunities and could be the world’s largest backend semiconductor fab unit. On successful completion, the US-based chipmaker will decide the commencement time for the facility.
“We will hand over this facility to Micron by December 2025 after finishing civil work, mechanical, electrical and plumbing work along with engineering-related tasks as per the designs given by Micron. The final call to commence the plant will be taken by Micron” added Agrawal.
In September last year, Tata Electronics signed a definitive agreement with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) to establish its first semiconductor fab unit in Gujarat’s Dholera. The fab unit will manufacture chips for applications such as power management IC, display drivers, microcontrollers (MCU) and high-performance computing logic.
Tata Group is also planning to create 5 Lakh manufacturing jobs over the next five years across battery, semiconductor, electric vehicle and solar industries by 2030.
