Dholera chip fab India’s leap into electronics manufacturing

Tata Groups Dholera chip fab to drive scale, local value across industries.

The facility, with an investment of Rs 91,000 crore, is projected to produce 3 billion chips annually, in 28 nanometers (nm), 50nm, 55nm, and 90nm ‘nodes’,

This semiconductor chip fabrication factory, or fab, in Gujarat’s Dholera will mark a significant stride towards achieving the goal of fully Made-in-India electronics appliance, according to industry experts.

This move will also help establish a semiconductor supply chain,with global chip companies entering India, bolstering local chip production and subsequently increasing manufacturing capacity, they added.

The older nodes which will be produced at the Dholera plant are “mature” nodes, which have widespread applications across automobiles, defence, space engineering, consumer appliances and networking infrastructure industries, among others
