Micron Technology, a US-based semiconductor company, has moved in the first equipment into its upcoming semiconductor assembly and test facility in Sanand, Gujarat. This milestone marks the beginning of the cleanroom validation phase at the site.
The facility is being developed with a total investment of USD 2.75 billion, including USD 825 million from Micron. The remainder is supported through fiscal incentives—50 percent from the central government and 20 percent from the Gujarat state government—under India’s semiconductor incentive program. The first phase includes 500,000 square feet of cleanroom space.
Construction, which began in September 2023, is approximately 60 percent complete as of mid-2025. Full handover of the facility is expected by December 2025. Tata Projects is serving as the main EPC contractor, with Meinhardt EPCM providing design and engineering services.
The project is expected to generate 5,000 direct jobs and 15,000 indirect jobs over the coming years. Micron is focusing on local talent development and collaboration with academic institutions to support the semiconductor ecosystem in India.
“We’re proud to see this vision taking shape and excited about the opportunities it will unlock for India’s economy, local communities and the resilience of the global semiconductor supply chain,” said Gursharan Singh, Senior Vice President of Global Assembly and Test at Micron.
More than 30 ancillary industries, including those supplying gases, chemicals, equipment, and substrates, are preparing to establish operations in Gujarat as a result of Micron’s entry.
Micron Technology is a US-based semiconductor company that manufactures DRAM, NAND, and NOR memory products used in data centers, mobile devices, consumer electronics, and automotive markets.
