This was held in the presence of Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma and Chairman of Tata Sons Limited N Chandrasekaran.
Later today, the Union Minister for Railways, Electronics & Information Technology and Information and Broadcasting, Ashwini Vaishnav, during his interaction with the media, stated that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always emphasised on Act East policy and a very important milestone is being achieved today in Assam with the commencement of construction of this facility.

The programme for development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystem in India was notified on 21.12.2021 with a total outlay of Rs 76,000 crore. In June, 2023, the Union Cabinet led by Modi had approved the proposal of Micron for setting up a semiconductor unit in Sanand, Gujarat whose construction is progressing at a rapid pace.
The Union Minister mentioned that this unit will be set up with an investment of Rs 27,000 crores and is expected to generate 15,000 direct and 11-13 thousand indirect jobs. While highlighting the importance of the Semiconductor industry as being a foundational one, he said that employment opportunities in various upstream and downstream industries will be created.
The proposed capacity of this unit is 4.83 crore semiconductor chips per day. He also pointed out that this unit will be the site for development of indigenous advanced semiconductor packaging technologies including Wire Bond, flip chip and I-SIP (integrated system in package) technologies and all these three major technologies which will be deployed in this plant are being developed in India.
These technologies are extremely critical for key applications such as automotive (especially electric vehicles), communications, network infrastructure and others.
Speaking at the event, Tata Sons chairman said that this will lead to setting up whole eco-system of semiconductor in this area and would create thousands of jobs for the locals.
