## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

(a) to (e): Semiconductor manufacturing is a strategic and foundational industry, vital for India's growth in the coming decades. Semiconductor chips are critical for manufacturing of many products ranging from mobile phones to refrigerators and cars to missiles.

As electronics manufacturing expands, developing a strong semiconductor industry becomes essential, as  semiconductors  form  the  core  components  in  electronic  devices.  The  semiconductor  ecosystem includes chip design, fabrication, and packaging. This industry require capital investment for a sustained period and highly skilled manpower. Chip manufacturing processes also need more than three hundred different types of specialized gases and chemicals.

India's semiconductor strategy is comprehensive, covering the entire value chain. It focuses on building a strong talent base and is guided by the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and 'Make in India, Make for the World.' It builds on the design capabilities in our country.

The  Government  approved  Semicon  India  programme  with  a  total  outlay  of  ₹76,000  crore  for  the development of semiconductor and display manufacturing ecosystem in the country.

As  on  July  31,  2025,  Government  has  approved  6  semiconductor  manufacturing  units  under  this programme. The details are as follows:

1. Micron Semiconductor Technology India Pvt Ltd in Sanand, Gujarat with a total investment of ₹22,516 crore and their own group technology.
2. Tata Semiconductor Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd. in Dholera, Gujarat with a total investment of ₹91,526  crore  under  technology  partnership  with  Powerchip  Semiconductor  Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC), Taiwan.
3. Tata Semiconductor Assembly & Test Pvt. Ltd. in Morigaon, Assam with a total investment of ₹27,120 crore and their own indigenous semiconductor packaging technologies.
4. CG  Semi  Pvt.  Ltd. in  Sanand,  Gujarat  with  a  total  investment  of  ₹7,584  crore  under  the technology partnership with Renesas Electronics Corporation, Japan and STARS Microelectronic, Thailand.
5. Kaynes Semicon Pvt. Ltd. in Sanand, Gujarat with a total investment of ₹3,307 crore under technology partnership with ISO, Malaysia and AOI, Japan.
6. India Chip Pvt. Ltd.: A Joint Venture between Foxconn, India and HCL Group in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh with a total investment of ₹3,706 crore under the technology partnership with Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd., Taiwan.
