Assam’s Semiconductor Plant: A Game-Changer for India’s Semiconductor
Ecosystem
India’s ambitious strides in the semiconductor industry are best exemplified by the
development of a semiconductor unit in Morigaon, Assam, spearheaded by Tata
Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt Ltd (TSAT). The project, set to become one
of the country’s premier manufacturing sites, aligns with the nation’s broader goal
of establishing a self-sufficient semiconductor ecosystem. The project with an
investment of Rs 27,000 crore is expected to be operational by mid-2025.
The Morigaon facility will produce up to 48 million semiconductor chips daily and
employ advanced packaging technologies like flip chips and Integrated System in
Package (ISIP). It is designed to cater to essential sectors such as automotive,
electric vehicles, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. It is a high-
capacity production facility, and its daily output will serve both domestic and
international markets. This will help India position itself as a competitive force in
the global semiconductor supply chain.
The Morigaon unit will contribute to the regional socio-economic growth, as it will
generate 15,000 direct and 11,000-13,000 indirect jobs.
