Tata Electronics Pvt. Ltd.[1] also referred to as Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt. Ltd.(TSAT)[2][3] will be a India's first indigenous semiconductor assembly and test facility factory in Jagiroad.[4] It is further poised to become a landmark industrial project in Jagiroad, situated in the Morigaon district of Assam, India.
The project is part of India's Semiconductor policy, supported by the India Semiconductor Mission and Assam's Electronics policy.[5] Construction is set to begin this year, with the first phase ready by mid-2025.[6] This will greatly boost industrialization in North-East India.
Background and Inception
[edit]The project was approved by the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 29, 2024.[7] A meeting was held on July 29, 2024, at Janata Bhawan with officials from the Tata Group and the state government, preceding the scheduled August 3, 2024, Bhumi Pujan ceremony for the upcoming Tata Group semiconductor unit.
The foundation of the Tata Semiconductor facility was officially laid with a groundbreaking ceremony held on August 3, 2024.[8][9] The event was attended by key figures, including Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran.[8] The ceremony was a significant milestone, signaling the commencement of what is considered a game-changing project for the region and the entire country.
According to the proposal, the semiconductor unit is expected to be established at erstwhile Hindustan Paper Corporation's Nagaon Paper Mill premise, which has been non-operational for several years.[10][11]
Investment and Impact
[edit]The Tata Semiconductor facility in Jagiroad, Assam, represents a significant investment of approximately INR 27,000 crore (around US$3.6 billion).[1][7] This substantial financial commitment is part of Tata Electronics' strategy to develop a cutting-edge semiconductor assembly and test facility, which is expected to generate over 25,000 direct and indirect jobs in the region.[a] This project aims to boost the local economy and advance India's position in the global semiconductor industry.[1]
