Aligned with “Make in India” and “Digital India” goals, the facility will enhance domestic semiconductor capabilities, reduce dependency on foreign supply chains, and position India as a critical player in advanced electronics and chip manufacturing.
In a significant move to boost India's semiconductor ambitions, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal recently met with Micron Technology’s Senior Vice President, Gursharan Singh, to evaluate the progress of Micron’s semiconductor manufacturing facility in India. This discussion marks a strategic step toward enhancing India’s presence in the global semiconductor ecosystem and reducing reliance on international supply chains.
The meeting emphasized the critical role of Micron’s investment in strengthening India’s domestic chip manufacturing capabilities. The facility, part of Micron’s Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging (ATMP) operations, will be a cornerstone in India’s journey to becoming a semiconductor manufacturing hub. It aligns with flagship government initiatives like “Make in India,” “Digital India,” and the Semicon India Programme—all geared toward building a robust, self-reliant electronics and semiconductor ecosystem.
Micron’s India project is expected to generate thousands of high-skilled jobs, support technology transfer, and promote research and innovation in advanced electronics. It will also serve sectors such as 5G, automotive electronics, AI, cloud computing, and IoT, while fostering collaboration between Indian startups and global tech leaders.
Minister Goyal reaffirmed the government’s commitment to facilitating ease of doing business and providing policy and financial incentives under the Semicon India initiative to attract global semiconductor companies. He noted that the Micron facility will not only enhance India’s role in the global chip supply chain but also contribute to its vision of becoming a trusted partner in global electronics manufacturing.
The strategic collaboration between Micron and India reinforces the country’s emergence as a key player in global chip fabrication and electronics innovation, amid growing geopolitical demand for chip sovereignty and supply chain diversification.
