Mumbai-headquartered Tata Projects was awarded the contract to build Boise Idaho-based Micron Technology‘s $2.75 billion semiconductor plant in India’s western state of Gujarat.
An initial investment of $875 million will go into the establishment of the plant in two phases. The remaining investment will be supported by both the state and federal governments.
Situated in the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation area of Sanand, the project spans an expansive 93 acres of land. The construction of Phase 1 will include a 500,000 square feet cleanroom space, scheduled to be operational by late 2024.
The plant will design and construct a first-of-its-kind DRAM (dynamic random access memory) and NAND (non-volatile flash memory) assembly and test facility in India.
On September 23, Micron Technology, the computer storage chip manufacturer, held the groundbreaking ceremony at Sanand for the chip assembly and test facility in India.
The facility will focus on transforming wafers into Ball Grid Array integrated circuit packages, memory modules and solid-state drives.
According to a statement from the company, the Sanand factory will be designed in accordance with LEED Gold Standards of the Green Building Council and will also integrate advanced water-saving technologies.
