The milestone underscores India’s strategy to shift from design to manufacturing under its semiconductor mission.

Overview

  • Ashwini Vaishnaw said the Micron facility in Sanand will move from pilot runs to commercial production in the third week of February 2026.
  • Micron’s Gujarat site is a $2.75 billion ATMP unit that will package DRAM and NAND products, supported by central and state incentives under the India Semiconductor Mission.
  • Pilot production has started at several approved facilities, with four plants expected to enter commercial operations during 2026, according to the minister.
  • Tata’s planned Dholera fabrication plant will use ASML lithography equipment, Vaishnaw said during a visit to the company’s headquarters in the Netherlands.
  • The government’s ISM program, launched with a Rs 76,000 crore outlay, has helped attract investments that Vaishnaw says now total close to $90 billion, with a growing skilled workforce pipeline.
