The Tata semiconductor facility in Assam is expected to begin production shortly, marking a significant milestone for the state’s industrial development and India’s broader semiconductor manufacturing ambitions.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared the update after personally visiting the manufacturing facility on Wednesday.
In a post on LinkedIn, Sarma said the project has made strong progress through the combined efforts of the Tata project team and the Assam government, with commercial production now approaching.
“Visited the Tata Semiconductor Facility today. I am happy with the progress attained jointly by the project team and the State Govt. Production will start very soon from this facility, marking the official roll out of #MadeInAssam semiconductor chips,” he said.
The semiconductor plant, located in Jagiroad, is expected to play a key role in India’s efforts to strengthen domestic chip manufacturing capabilities.
According to the Chief Minister, the facility will have the capacity to produce up to 48 million semiconductor chips per day once fully operational.
These chips are expected to serve a range of high-demand sectors including automobiles, telecommunications, consumer electronics, and AI-driven devices.
Sarma described the project as strategically significant, noting the central role semiconductors now play in modern technology ecosystems and global supply chains.
“The Jagiroad semiconductor plant is a landmark project for Assam and for India’s semiconductor ambitions,” he said.
He added that the project aligns with India’s broader push for technological self-reliance and advanced manufacturing.
According to the Chief Minister, the facility is also expected to create substantial economic spillover effects for the region, including employment generation and industrial ecosystem development.
“The plant will generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities, encourage the growth of ancillary industries and create a strong ecosystem of high-skilled talent in the Northeast,” Sarma said.
He also said the project sends a wider signal about Assam’s growing ability to attract and support large-scale technology investments.
Sarma said the state is increasingly positioned to host world-class industrial and technology projects, backed by infrastructure development, policy support, and a skilled workforce.
