Cabinet Approves Two Semiconductor Units In Gujarat

The Union Cabinet approved two semiconductor projects under the India Semiconductor Mission, including the country's first commercial Mini/Micro-LED display plant based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology and an outsourced packaging facility. The projects are to be developed in Gujarat by Crystal Matrix Limited and Suchi Semicon Private Limited and will form part of a push to build domestic compound semiconductor and packaging capacity. The Cabinet indicated the combined investment for the two projects is around Rs 39.36 billion (bn).

Crystal Matrix will establish an integrated compound semiconductor fabrication and advanced test, assembly, and packaging facility in Dholera, providing GaN foundry services and epitaxy on six-inch wafers. Annual production is planned at 72,000 square metres of Mini/Micro-LED display panels and 24,000 sets of RGB GaN epitaxy wafers, intended for large television and commercial signage displays, medium displays for tablets, smartphones and in-car screens, and micro-displays for extended reality devices and smart watches. The facility is described as supporting both display manufacturing and foundry services for related sectors.

Suchi Semicon will set up an outsourced semiconductor assembly and test facility in Surat to produce discrete semiconductors for power electronics, analogue integrated circuits and industrial systems. The annual production capacity is stated as 1,033.20 million (mn) chips per annum, serving automotive, industrial automation and consumer electronics markets. The approvals are expected to generate 2,230 skilled professional jobs across both projects.

With these approvals the total number of projects under the India Semiconductor Mission reaches 12, with cumulative investments of around Rs 1,640 billion (bn). The statement said the measures will complement growing domestic chip design capabilities supported by design infrastructure provided to 315 academic institutions and 104 start-ups. Two previously approved projects have already commenced commercial shipments and two more are expected to start shipments soon, indicating momentum in the sector.
