Ashwini Vaishnaw uttryckte förtroende för att konstruktionen av halvledaranläggningen snart skulle slutföras och tillade att de första inhemska mikrochipsen förväntas rullas ut i december 2024. Ashwini Vaishnaw sa att elektronikindustrin har expanderat till att vara värd 8,30,000 XNUMX XNUMX crores.
Nya Delhi: Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, on Saturday said the “Bhoomi Pujan” (ground breaking ceremony) for the country’s first semiconductor plant has taken place in Gujarat.
The ground-breaking for the country’s first semi-conductor plant marks a pivotal moment in carrying forward Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a self-reliant India.
Herr Vaishnaw uttryckte förtroende för att konstruktionen av halvledaranläggningen snart skulle slutföras, och tillade att de första inhemska mikrochipsen förväntas rullas ut i december 2024.
“Today ‘Bhoomi Pujan’ of the first semiconductor plant was conducted. This is an important step in carrying forward the PM’s vision (of Atmanirbhar Bharat). The construction of the plant will be completed soon and the first indigenous microchips will roll out from here by December 2024,” Mr Vaishnaw said.
Underlining the strides marked by the country’s electronic industry under the leadership of PM Modi, Mr Vaishnaw said, “In 2014, the manufacturing cost of mobile phones in India was ₹ 17,000 crores. This has now soared to ₹ 3,65,000 crores. The electronics industry, once valued at ₹ 1,90,000 crores, has expanded to be worth ₹ 8,30,000 crores.”
“Exports have increased fivefold, rising from ₹ 40,000 crores to ₹ 2,00,000 crores,” the Union Minister added.
Alla dessa framsteg tillskrivs halvledarchips, sa Vaishnaw och tillade att landet var redo att bli ett stort halvledarnav.
Detta halvledaruppdrag, som lanserades i december 2021, syftar till att positionera Indien som en betydande aktör inom halvledarteknologi.
I linje med denna vision tillkännagav den 22 juni den globala halvledarjätten Micron planer på att investera 825 miljoner USD i att bygga en ny monterings- och testanläggning i Gujarat.
The facility, set to meet both domestic and international demand, is strategically located in the Sanand Industrial Park, Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), benefiting from Gujarat’s robust manufacturing infrastructure, favourable business environment, and skilled talent pool.
This move reinforces India’s commitment to self-reliance and its growing stature in the global semiconductor landscape, aligning with Prime Minister Modi’s vision for a technologically advanced and self-sufficient India.
