Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reviewed progress at Tata Electronics’ Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) centre in Jagiroad, Assam, marking a major step towards integrating the state into the global semiconductor ecosystem.
The project positions Assam as a key industrial and technological hub in Northeast India.
The Tata OSAT Centre, located in Morigaon district, is being developed with an investment of ₹27,000 crore. Once operational, it will produce 48 million semiconductor chips per day, employing cutting-edge packaging technologies.
The facility is expected to be commissioned by April 2026, transforming Assam into a critical node in India’s semiconductor value chain.
Randhir Thakur, CEO of Tata Electronics, shared an update on the plant’s progress and highlighted its potential to generate 15,000 direct and 11,000–13,000 indirect jobs, boosting the local economy and fostering industrial growth across the Northeast.
The Assam OSAT plant represents a critical part of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), launched in 2021 to build a self-reliant chip ecosystem.
Since its inception, India has approved 10 semiconductor projects worth over ₹1.60 lakh crore across six states Gujarat, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh.
Earlier this year, the Sanand, Gujarat OSAT Pilot Line Facility by CG-Semi produced India’s first fully indigenous chip, marking a milestone in the country’s semiconductor journey.
The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) is now advancing Semicon 2.0, the next phase of India’s semiconductor development plan.
The Tata OSAT Centre in Assam signifies more than just an industrial milestone it represents India’s transition from semiconductor ambition to reality. With strong government support, private investment, and a skilled workforce, Assam is on track to become a strategic player in the global semiconductor supply chain by 2026.
