The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved Rs 1.26 trillion worth of investments in three semiconductor plants, including a Tata group proposal to build the country’s first major chip fabrication facility at Dholera in Gujarat.
It also cleared a separate Tata proposal for a chip assembly plant in Morigaon, Assam, and another by CG Power in Sanand, Gujarat. The work on all three projects is expected to begin in the next 100 days.
Besides the Dholera plant, the Tata group (Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test, or TSAT) will set up a semiconductor plant in Morigaon with an investment of Rs 27,000 crore. It is expected to generate 27,000 direct and indirect jobs.
