Dholera's Upcoming Semiconductor Fabrication Unit Being Planned

State governments have chipped in with infrastructure support, including housing for workers, at the upcoming electronics and semiconductor manufacturing hubs in Assam, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu.

The Assam and Gujarat governments have provided land at subsidised rates to build mega-housing projects, hostels, and dormitories for blue-collar and white-collar workers at the upcoming semiconductor chip manufacturing and packaging facilities, people in the know said.

A senior government official said the Gujarat government is working on a housing project for workers of the chip fabrication unit being planned at Dholera, which is likely to comprise 1,500 flats, hostels, and dormitories with a capacity of up to 10,000 beds for shop floor workers.
