In the last few years, many industries are facing difficulties due to shortage of semiconductors. Due to this, production in the automobile sector has also been affected. The central government has also announced incentives for semiconductor manufacturing in the country. American company Micron Technology may soon start manufacturing semiconductors in the country. Micron Technology is preparing to set up an advanced semiconductor assembly plant in Sanand, Gujarat. Tata Projects will construct this plant. This plant will be in 93 acres. “This is the largest project under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM),” Tata Projects said. This plant is to be started by the end of next year. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and Non-Volatile Flash Memory (NAND) will be tested and assembled in this plant of Micron Technology. Tata Projects said that this plant will be designed as per the LEED Gold Standards of Green Building Council. Electronics and Information Technology Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the construction of the country’s first semiconductor plant is starting in Gujarat. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced to provide 50 percent financial assistance from the Central Government to those setting up semiconductor manufacturing units in the country. He had said that his government has provided many facilities for the semiconductor industry. Modi said that there will be strong growth of semiconductor industry in the country. In the Semicon India conference, Modi had said that an ecosystem is being created for the semiconductor industry in the country. He had told that 300 colleges have been identified to start courses on semiconductor design. Modi had to say that behind every industrial revolution in the world were the ambitions of the people. Along with this, he had said that he believes that the reason for the fourth industrial revolution will be India’s ambitions. Reliance Industries also plans to enter semiconductor manufacturing. With this, the increasing demand for semiconductors in the country can be met. This company, which does business from energy to telecom, is in talks with foreign chipmakers for technology partnership.
