The Union
Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved two more
semiconductor projects under India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) which includes
country’s first commercial Mini/Micro-LED display facility based on GaN (Gallium Nitride) Technology and a semiconductor
packaging facility on 5 May, 2026.
The two
approved proposals will set up semiconductor manufacturing facilities in
Gujarat with a cumulative investment of around Rs.3,936 crore and are expected
to generate cumulative employment for 2,230 skilled professionals.
The details of
the two approved proposals are as follows:
I.
Crystal Matrix Limited (CML) will
establish an integrated facility for compound semiconductor fabrication and
ATMP in Dholera, Gujarat for manufacturing
Mini/Micro-LED display modules. The integrated facility will also provide GaN foundry services, including epitaxy on 6” wafers. The
annual proposed production capacity for Mini/Micro-LED Display Panels is 72,000
sq. meters, and for Mini-Micro-LED GaN Epitaxy Wafers
is 24,000 sets of RGB wafers. The proposed products will have applications in
large displays for TVs and signages/commercial displays, Medium-sized displays
for tablets, smartphones, and in-car displays, and Micro-displays for Extended
Reality (XR) glasses and smart watches.
II.
Suchi Semicon Private
Limited (SSPL) will be setting up an Outsourced
Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility in Surat, Gujarat for
manufacturing discrete semiconductors. The proposed production capacity of the
Suchi Semicon is 1033.20 million chips per annum. The
target applications include power electronics, analog
ICs, and industrial systems, serving end markets such as automotive, industrial
automation, and consumer electronics.
With these two
approvals, semiconductor ecosystem in the country would get a significant boost
as the total number of approved projects under India Semi-conductor Mission
(ISM) reaches 12, with cumulative investments of around Rs.1.64 lakh crore.
These would
complement the growing world class chip design capabilities coming up in the
country which are propelled by design infrastructure support provided by
Government to 315 academic institutions and 104 start-ups.
Momentum is
building up further in the semiconductor ecosystem in India with the ten
approved projects already in various stages of execution. Two projects have
already started commercial shipments from India and Two more are expected to
start commercial shipments soon.
