Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar Says Tata's ₹25,000-Crore Chip Packaging Plant Is Headed For Assam

Tata’s proposal for setting up an OSAT in Assam to get the green light soon? In a new development around India’s semiconductor mission, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State for the Ministry of Electronics & IT, has said that the Tata group’s proposal for a semiconductor packaging plant in Assam is under evaluation. While Speaking at Digital India Future Skills Summit at Guwahati University in Assam today, Chandrasekhar said, “Assam is soon going to have a Rs 25,000-crore semiconductor packaging plant. It is a proposal from Tata that had to be evaluated.” This comes just two months after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Sarma had claimed that Tata Electronics has submitted an application for setting up an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) in the state with an investment of around Rs 40,000 crore.
