India’s long-aspired chip revolution is finally taking shape in Dholera, Gujarat. In a landmark collaboration, Tata Electronics and Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (PSMC) are establishing a ₹91,000 crore semiconductor fabrication plant — a cutting-edge facility where silicon is transformed into the powerful chips that drive our digital lives.
With global semiconductor demand projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, India is stepping up as a serious player. The Tata-PSMC fab will produce 50,000 silicon wafers every month — translating into nearly 300 crore chips per year, destined for use in smartphones, electric vehicles, satellites, and AI servers.
The plant will initially manufacture 28nm chips — compact, efficient, and essential to modern electronics — and will later scale down to 22nm. At the same time, it will continue producing older yet still critical chips like 40nm and 90nm, which are widely used across various industries. It’s a strategic blend of cutting-edge innovation and tried-and-tested technology.
The entire manufacturing process will be powered by AI, automation, and machine learning, ensuring efficiency and adaptability. Dholera isn’t just making chips — it’s laying the foundation for a future-ready digital ecosystem.
As India’s first smart industrial city, Dholera offers uninterrupted power supply, clean water, large land parcels, and a soon-to-be-operational international airport. Think of it as Gujarat’s Silicon Valley — purpose-built for high-tech industries.
The first phase alone will create over 20,000 skilled jobs. In the next 5–7 years, Tata plans to establish multiple fabs, potentially generating over 1 lakh employment opportunities across India.
With PSMC’s technical know-how and Indian engineering talent, this plant marks a historic shift. India — once dependent on imports — is now entering the global semiconductor supply chain with purpose and pride. The global chip race has a new contender — and it proudly bears the Made in India mark.
