What they do

Commercial production at its Sanand, Gujarat plant begins end of February, with $2.75 Bn investment

The plant is among the largest back-end semiconductor facilities globally, nearly 50 acres

Pilot production has begun at several approved semiconductor facilities in India

Micron will start commercial chip production at its Sanand, Gujarat facility at the end of February.
The plant is an assembly, testing, marking and packaging (ATMP) unit, turning wafers into packaged chips, memory modules, and solid-state drives.
Pilot production has already begun at several approved semiconductor facilities.
The deal for the plant was signed in June 2023, with construction starting in mid-2023.
Phase-1 completion was roughly 60% by late 2024, and the facility handover to Micron is expected by December 2025.
Tata Projects is the build contractor for the facility.
The total investment is up to $2.75 Bn, including fiscal incentives from the Centre and Gujarat government.
The India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) is involved in the project.

The government's semiconductor push began in 2021 with the Semicon India programme, committing INR 76,000 Cr.
The allocation includes INR 65,000 Cr for chip production, INR 10,000 Cr for Semiconductor Laboratory modernisation in Mohali, and INR 1,000 Cr for a design-linked incentive scheme.
The global semiconductor market is projected to cross $1.1 Tn by 2030.
India's strategic alliances with the US, EU, Germany, Japan, and South Korea are critical for semiconductor value chains and rare earth minerals access.

Micron is a global memory and storage chip maker.
The Sanand plant is one of the largest back-end semiconductor facilities globally, nearly 50 acres.
The plant performs assembly, testing, marking and packaging (ATMP) of chips.
It converts wafers into packaged chips, memory modules, and solid-state drives.
The facility is located in Sanand, Gujarat, India.
The project involves fiscal incentives from both the central and Gujarat state governments.
