Tata Gets Land for Staff Housing at Dholera Semiconductor Site

As Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd’s (TEPL) first semiconductor fabrication plant takes shape in the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), the Gujarat government has allotted 10 acres of land to the Tata Group for constructing residential apartments for its workforce. Dholera SIR, a greenfield smart city project about 110 km from Ahmedabad, is being developed with a strong focus on integrated social infrastructure.
According to Mona Khandhar, Principal Secretary, Science and Technology Department, Government of Gujarat, “The government has given 10 acres to Tata Group for developing their own housing complex. Initially, they will build more than 500 apartments.”
In addition to the Tata project, Dholera Industrial City Development Ltd (DICDL) has auctioned plots to private developers for an additional 1,000 service apartments to support the influx of skilled workers in the sparsely populated coastal region.
Dholera SIR is rapidly emerging as a hub for semiconductor manufacturing. Three major semiconductor projects are planned, including TEPL’s Rs 910 billion mega fabrication unit in partnership with Taiwan-based Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC). This project alone is expected to generate around 20,000 direct and indirect skilled jobs. The TEPL plant is projected to be operational by the second quarter of 2027–28.
Construction of the TEPL plant has already commenced, and more developments are underway. Jabil Inc, a global electronics manufacturing services provider, is also preparing to begin work on its Rs 10 billion silicon photonics facility, expected to generate 1,500 new jobs.
Furthermore, NextGen has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Gujarat government to establish a Rs 100 billion compound semiconductor and optoelectronics fab at Dholera. Japanese company Hitachi and Taiwanese firm Solidlite are partners in this venture, further bolstering the region’s semiconductor ecosystem.
