Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently laid the foundation stones for two Tata Electronics facilities, including a state-of-the-art semiconductor fab in Dholera, Gujarat, and a Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) Facility in Jagiroad, Assam.
With an investment outlay of Rs 1,18,000 crore, Tata Electronics is set to generate nearly 50,000 direct and indirect jobs.
The semiconductor plant in Assam will produce 4.83 crore semiconductor chips per day, along with generating 15,000 direct and up to 13,000 indirect jobs once operational. The Assam plant is being set up with an investment of Rs 27,000 crore.
ASMPT’s continuous investment in R&D also helps provide cost-effective, industry-shaping solutions that achieve higher productivity, greater reliability, and enhanced quality.
