Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a semiconductor facility in Sanand, Gujarat, marking a key milestone in India’s push to build a strong domestic chip industry.
The plant, set up by Kaynes Technology, is an OSAT unit that will assemble and test semiconductor chips for use in electronic devices. Built with an investment of around ₹3,300 crore, the facility is expected to support both domestic demand and exports.
The launch comes as India accelerates efforts to reduce dependence on imported chips and position itself as a reliable player in the global semiconductor supply chain. Demand for chips continues to grow across sectors such as automobiles, electronics, and telecommunications.
The government has been actively promoting semiconductor manufacturing through incentives and policy support under its broader industrial strategy.
In addition to the plant inauguration, projects worth nearly ₹20,000 crore were also launched in Gujarat, focusing on infrastructure and development.
