Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday formally inaugurated Kaynes Semicon’s ₹3,300 crore outsourced semiconductor meeting and take a look at (OSAT) facility at Sanand in Gujarat, describing it as a “bridge between Sanand and Silicon Valley” and signalling India’s deeper integration into the worldwide semiconductor provide chain.
“India’s own company Kaynes has become a strong part of the global semiconductor supply chain. It is a proud moment for all Indians,” stated Modi whereas inaugurating the OSAT facility close to Ahmedabad that has a capability to roll out an estimated 60 lakh chips per day as soon as totally operational. “Today in a way, a new bridge between Sanand and Silicon Valley. This plant in Sanand will supply Intelligent Power Modules for a company in California. I am told that a large consignment of the chips manufactured here has been booked for exports. The modules made in Sanand will reach companies in the US and will help power the entire world,” he added.
Early manufacturing milestones and authorities push
Just a few months in the past, Kaynes Semicon posted on social media that it had already rolled out and shipped 900 Multi-Chip Modules (IPM5), assembled, examined, and quality-cleared on the Sanand facility, to Alpha & Omega Semiconductor (AOS), USA. The OSAT facility, accredited beneath the India Semiconductor Mission, marks a key milestone in India’s push to construct home chip manufacturing capabilities. Union IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated the plant started industrial manufacturing inside simply 14 months, reflecting accelerated execution in the sector.
Support for EV ecosystem and market development outlook
The Prime Minister highlighted that the Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) produced on the Sanand facility may also play a vital position in supporting India’s electrical car ecosystem and heavy industries, aligning with the nation’s broader industrial and vitality transition objectives. Modi additionally pointed to the size of alternative in the sector, noting that India’s semiconductor market, at the moment valued at about $50 billion, is predicted to cross $100 billion by the top of the last decade. “Our target is to manufacture the maximum number of semiconductor chips in India,” he stated, including that ongoing coverage reforms and investments are laying the groundwork for long-term expertise management.
Sanand emerges as semiconductor hub
The inauguration marks the third main semiconductor-related growth in Sanand, because the area quickly evolves from an vehicle hub right into a semiconductor manufacturing cluster. Earlier this 12 months, Modi had inaugurated Micron Technology’s semiconductor facility in Gujarat, whereas the pilot plant of CG Semi was additionally inaugurated final 12 months, additional strengthening the area’s chip manufacturing ecosystem.
New partnership to spice up chip design and manufacturing
On Tuesday, Indiesemic Pvt Ltd, a fabless semiconductor and chip design firm, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Kaynes Semicon for establishing a framework for the qualification, meeting and testing of QFN40, QFN64 and different mutually agreed semiconductor packages for Indiesemic’s portfolio of ultra-low energy and compact System-in-Package (SiP) modules and SoCs. The firm, in a launch, acknowledged that the target of the MoU is to create a scalable, dependable manufacturing pathway for Indiesemic’s semiconductor merchandise, leveraging Kaynes Semicon’s superior OSAT infrastructure and packaging experience.
Expressway mission boosts industrial connectivity
In one other occasion held in Vav-Tharad in North Gujarat in the night, PM Modi inaugurated the ₹5,100 crore Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway, an access-controlled freeway that’s anticipated to offer quicker connectivity to Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) the place Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd is establishing India’s first industrial semiconductor fabrication facility together with Taiwan’s PSMC at a price of over ₹91,000 crore.
Museum inauguration marks cultural occasion
Earlier in the day, PM Modi inaugurated the Samrat Samprati Museum at Koba Tirth in Gandhinagar on the event of Mahavir Jayanti. Named after Samrat Samprati, the grandson of Ashoka and a revered determine in Jain custom identified for his dedication to non-violence and propagation of Jainism, the museum showcases the wealthy historic, cultural, and religious legacy of Jainism.
