Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the Semiconductor Assembly, Test and Packaging (ATMP) facility of Micron Semiconductor Technology India Private Limited in Sanand, marking a major milestone in India’s semiconductor manufacturing journey.
According to an official release from the Prime Minister’s Office, the inauguration marks the commencement of commercial production and shipment of the first domestically manufactured semiconductor memory modules from the facility. The project, whose groundbreaking ceremony was held in September 2023, was the first proposal approved under the India Semiconductor Mission.
With a total investment exceeding Rs 22,500 crore, construction began soon after approval. Once fully operational, the plant will feature nearly 500,000 square feet of cleanroom space, making it one of the world’s largest raised-floor cleanrooms. The facility is designed to cater to global markets and meet rising demand for memory and storage solutions, particularly in Artificial Intelligence and high-performance computing.
The ATMP unit will convert advanced DRAM and NAND wafers sourced from Micron’s global network into finished memory and storage products, reinforcing India’s ambition to become a competitive and resilient semiconductor manufacturing hub.
