Sarma sagde, at TATA-gruppen havde indledende samtaler med delstatsregeringen om halvledersamlingen og emballageanlægget, og tilfredse med diskussionerne her, har de henvendt sig til centret.
TATA Group planlægger at etablere et halvlederbehandlingsanlæg i Assam til en investering på omkring 40,000 crore i pund, sagde Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma fredag.
Han henvendte sig til en funktion i Guwahati og sagde, at den har henvendt sig til centret for det sidste nik efter drøftelser med delstatsregeringen, og grønt lys forventes snart.
“There is a very good news for us. TATA Electronics Ltd has submitted an application for setting up an electronic centre at Jagiroad,” Sarma said. “They have submitted a proposal to the Government of India with an outlay of about Rs 40,000 crore,” he added.
Jagiroad, in Morigaon district, is about 55 km from the state’s largest city Guwahati. Sarma said the TATA Group held initial talks with the state government about the semiconductor assembly and packaging plant, and satisfied with the discussions here, they have approached the Centre.
“If all goes well, we will see a major investment in the state which will create a positive environment for industrialisation. We are in touch with the Centre and hope that the final approval will be given in a month or two,” he said.
Chefministeren sagde, at konglomeratet også har henvendt sig til delstatsregeringen for at uddanne 1,000 mennesker til ansættelse i enheden.
“We used to always ask why the electronics and IT industry did not come to our state. Now it is changing,” Sarma said. In a post on X, he thanked PM Narendra Modi “for his continuous guidance in transforming our State”.
Statens kabinet havde i august godkendt Assam Semiconductor Manufacturing and Electronic Production Policy.
