Micron Starts Commercial Semiconductor Production in India
US chipmaker Micron Technology will commence commercial semiconductor production from its Gujarat ATMP facility by the end of February, Indian IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said at Davos. Pilot production has already begun at approved facilities; the Sanand plant is a 50‑acre back-end assembly, testing, marking and packaging unit built under a $2.75 billion India Semiconductor Mission investment. The project aims to scale India’s domestic chip manufacturing capacity.
Key Points
- 1Announces start of commercial production at Micron's Gujarat ATMP facility by end of February
