Boise, Idaho-based Micron, signed an MoU with the government of India’s western state of Gujarat for setting up a $2.75 billion semiconductor assembly and test facility at Sanand, located near the city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat. The plant has been approved under the Federal government’s ‘Modified Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging program.
The deal was finalized during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the United States on June 22, and within six days the Gujarat Government allocated land and signed the MoU.
Micron’s senior vice president Gurusharan Singh said that at the Sanand plant, “silicon wafers will be converted into semiconductor chips,” adding that it will create 5,000 direct jobs and 15,000 indirect jobs.
Micron will receive 50 percent fiscal support for the total project cost from the Federal government and incentives representing 20 percent of the total project cost from the Gujarat government.
Phase 1 of the plant, which will include 500,000 square feet of planned clean room space, will become operational in late 2024, Micron said in a statement. It added that its new facility will enable assembly and test manufacturing for both DRAM and NAND products, and will serve both domestic and international markets.
