Micron, Tata Electronics, Infineon step up India semiconductor expansion
New Delhi, Sep 21. Global chipmakers Micron Technology and Infineon Technologies, along with Tata Electronics, are expanding their semiconductor manufacturing, supply-chain and talent-building efforts in India, signalling a widening of the country’s emerging chip ecosystem.
Micron expects its semiconductor assembly and testing facility at Sanand in Gujarat to process hundreds of millions of chips in 2027, up from tens of millions this year, according to CEO Sanjay Mehrotra.
The facility, which began operations only recently, receives DRAM and NAND wafers from Micron’s global manufacturing network and converts them into finished memory and storage products. Mehrotra said the plant’s output was already reaching customers worldwide.
“Potential does not ship products. What I see in India today is execution,” he said during the SEMICON India 2026, underscoring the company’s focus on scaling production in the country.
Tata Electronics CEO and Managing Director Randhir Thakur said the company’s semiconductor fabrication plant at Dholera, Gujarat, and its semiconductor packaging facility in Assam were progressing according to schedule and remained on track to meet commitments made to the government.
The company has brought together more than 450 ecosystem partners for the Dholera project, covering areas such as construction, semiconductor equipment, chemicals and materials. Tata Electronics also signed 16 agreements during the event to deepen partnerships across the semiconductor value chain.
Thakur said around 300 fresh graduates from Indian universities were undergoing training at the Taiwan facility of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (PSMC), Tata Electronics’ technology partner.
“The question of whether we can make chips in India has changed to how fast and how deep can we build the semiconductor ecosystem in India,” Thakur said.
Meanwhile, Infineon Technologies CEO Jochen Hanebeck said the German semiconductor major had expanded its workforce in India by 28 percent over the past year.
Infineon now employs more than 2,800 people across Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and Hyderabad and works with over 1,200 local customers, he said.
“We expand our presence and deepen customer relationships. We see great potential for India to strengthen its position across the global semiconductor value chain,” Hanebeck said.
The announcements by the three companies underline the expanding scope of India’s semiconductor drive, extending beyond chip fabrication and assembly to equipment, materials, suppliers, workforce development, research and technology partnerships.
