India has taken another step toward strengthening its semiconductor ecosystem with the inauguration of a new chip facility in Gujarat by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The unit, developed by Kaynes Technology in Sanand, will focus on assembling and testing semiconductor chips. This segment is critical in the chip value chain and helps prepare semiconductors for commercial use.
The project, valued at ₹3,300 crore, reflects the government’s broader plan to build local capacity in a sector that has traditionally relied heavily on imports.
India’s semiconductor demand is rising rapidly, driven by growth in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and digital infrastructure. By investing in such facilities, the country aims to secure supply chains and reduce risks linked to global disruptions.
The inauguration also coincided with the launch of multiple infrastructure projects worth around ₹20,000 crore, underlining Gujarat’s growing importance as a manufacturing hub.
