GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday performed the bhumi pujan of Rs 27,000 crore Tata semiconductor assembly and test facility plant at Jagiroad in Morigaon district.
The bhumi pujan of the semiconductor facility was also attended by of Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran.
The Tata semiconductor assembly and test facility will be India’s first semiconductor assembly and test facility.
Speaking during the bhumi pujan of the semiconductor plant, the chief minister said that Assam will now be able to make world’s most advanced electronic components at the semiconductor plant in Jagiroad.
“Once operational, it will transform the industrial landscape of Assam and herald a new era of growth,” he said.
The project is also expected to generate employment opportunities for more than 30,000 people.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually laid the foundation stone of the facility on March 13 this year.
The first phase of the facility is expected to be operational by mid-2025.
The company will build the facility focusing on three key platform technologies – wire bond, flip chip, and a differentiated offering called integrated systems packaging (ISP), with plans to expand the roadmap to advanced packaging technologies in the future.
Semiconductor assembly and testing is a critical part of the value chain where wafers manufactured by semiconductor fabs are assembled or packaged and then tested before they are finally used in the desired products.
The proposed facility will serve the growing global demands across key market segments like AI, industrial, and consumer electronics.
The project will provide an immense boost to industrialisation in Northeast.
