India’s semiconductor ecosystem is gaining momentum as three additional semiconductor plants are expected to begin commercial operations in 2026, according to Union IT and Electronics Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. This comes after the inauguration of Micron Technology’s ATMP facility in Sanand, Gujarat, which marked the start of India’s first large-scale semiconductor production.
The government has approved 10 semiconductor projects across six states, with four plants expected to start commercial production in 2026 as part of the India Semiconductor Mission. These projects collectively represent investments of around ₹1.6 lakh crore, aiming to build a strong domestic semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
Companies such as Micron, CG Power, Kaynes Technology, and Tata Electronics are among the firms progressing toward commercial chip production, signaling a major milestone in India’s effort to become a global semiconductor manufacturing hub.
