Tata Group Dholera SIR 1st Semiconductor Plant in Gujarat by 2026
Tata Semiconductor Plant at Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) and its significance for Semicon India 2024. This groundbreaking project marks a huge leap for India's semiconductor industry, positioning Dholera as the next big tech hub.
The Rs 91,000 crore mega semiconductor fabrication facility in Dholera is run jointly by Tata Electronics in partnership with PSMC. This fab will have manufacturing capacity of up to 50,000 wafers per month and will include next generation factory automation capabilities deploying data analytics and machine learning to achieve industry-best factory efficiency.
Apart from building high-performance compute chips, the facility will also make power management chips for electric vehicles (EV), telecom, defence, automotive, consumer electronics, display, power electronics, etc.
Power management chips are high voltage, high current applications.
PSMC is renowned for its expertise in logic and memory foundry segments. PSMC has six semiconductor foundries in Taiwan.
The Cabinet has approved three semiconductor plant proposals, two in Gujarat and one in Assam, for an estimated cost of Rs 1.26 lakh crore.
"A typical semiconductor fab timeline for production is 3-4 years. But will try to compress it," IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had said.
The Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt. Ltd.’s chip assembly and testing unit in Assam will be built with an investment of Rs 27,000 crore. CG Power and Japan’s Renesas will also set up a semiconductor plant in Gujarat’s Sanand at an estimated cost of Rs 7,600 crore, producing 15 million chips per day.
These plants are in addition to a Rs 22,516-crore chip assembly plant being set up by US-based memory chip maker Micron.
