PM Modi to flag off Micron’s Rs. 22,500 crore semiconductor facility in Sanand tomorrow. Check out all details
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat on Saturday to inaugurate the Semiconductor Assembly, Test and Packaging (ATMP) facility of Micron Semiconductor Technology India Private Limited in Sanand.
Why the factory is significant
The inauguration marks a major milestone in India’s semiconductor manufacturing journey, as the Sanand ATMP facility begins commercial production and ships its first made-in-India semiconductor memory modules.
The development is seen as a crucial step in strengthening India’s position in the global semiconductor value chain.
The project, which had its groundbreaking ceremony in September 2023, was the first proposal approved under the India Semiconductor Mission.
With a total investment of over ₹22,500 crore, construction commenced soon after approval, reflecting the government’s push to fast-track strategic semiconductor investments.
Once fully ramped up, the Sanand facility will house around 500,000 square feet of cleanroom space, making it one of the world’s largest raised-floor cleanrooms.
The plant is designed to serve global customers and meet the rising demand for memory and storage solutions driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
About the Sanand ATMP facility
The Sanand ATMP unit will convert advanced Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and NAND semiconductor wafers sourced from Micron's global manufacturing network into finished memory and storage products for worldwide markets.
The operationalisation of the facility underscores India’s emergence as a competitive and trusted destination for semiconductor manufacturing.
It also aligns with the Prime Minister’s vision of building a resilient and self-reliant technology ecosystem in the country.
