Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the Semiconductor Assembly, Test and Packaging (ATMP) facility of Micron Semiconductor Technology India Private Limited in Sanand.
According to an official release from the Prime Minister’s Office, the inauguration marks a milestone in India’s semiconductor manufacturing journey, with commercial production and shipment of the first made-in-India semiconductor memory modules commencing from the facility.
The project, which held its ground-breaking ceremony in September 2023, was the first proposal approved under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). With a total investment of over Rs 22,500 crore, construction began soon after approval.
Once fully operational, the Sanand facility will house approximately 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 markets and address growing demand for memory and storage solutions, particularly in areas such as Artificial Intelligence and high-performance computing.
The 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.
The PMO stated that the operationalisation of the facility reinforces India’s position as a competitive destination for semiconductor manufacturing and aligns with efforts to build a resilient and self-reliant technology ecosystem.
