The programme for development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystem in India was notified on 21.12.2021 with a total outlay of \u20b9 76,000 crore. In June, 2023, the Union Cabinet led by Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi had approved the proposal of Micron for setting up a semiconductor unit in Sanand, Gujarat whose construction is progressing at a rapid pace.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the semiconductor unit<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Union Minister mentioned that this unit will be set up with an investment of \u20b9 27 thousand crores<\/strong> and is expected to generate 15 thousand direct <\/strong>and 11-13 thousand indirect jobs<\/strong>. While highlighting the importance of the Semiconductor industry as being a foundational one, he said that employment opportunities in various upstream and downstream industries will be created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed capacity of this unit is 4.83 crore semiconductor chips per day<\/strong>. He also pointed out that this unit will be the site for development of indigenous advanced semiconductor packaging technologies including Wire Bond, flip chip and I-SIP (integrated system in package) technologies and all these three major technologies which will be deployed in this plant are being developed in India<\/strong>. These technologies are extremely critical for key applications such as automotive (especially electric vehicles), communications, network infrastructure and others<\/p>\n\n\n\n
