RRP Electronics, which plans to set up a Rs 1.2 billion semiconductor fab in Maharashtra, on Friday announced receiving a letter of comfort from the state government for a 100-acre land parcel in Navi Mumbai for the proposed facility.

Our government is fully committed to extending all necessary support, be it in infrastructure, policy facilitation, or skill development to ensure the success of this initiative,” the company quoted Fadnavis as saying.
The company stated that the project, with an estimated cost of Rs 1.2 billion, would be one of the region’s largest, most advanced fabs. It will have a capacity to produce 125,000 wafers per month.
RRP Electronics expects to start construction work within six months. The first phase of the project is expected to be commissioned by the second quarter of 2026.
