Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate Kaynes Semicon’s outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility at Sanand on March 31, marking the third semiconductor-related inauguration in the fast-emerging industrial cluster near Ahmedabad in Gujarat.
The ₹3,300-crore facility, approved by the Union Cabinet in September 2024 under the India Semiconductor Mission, is estimated to produce around 60 lakh chips per day once operational. The upcoming inauguration follows a series of rapid developments in Sanand, which is transitioning from an automobile manufacturing base into a semiconductor hub. The region has already seen the launch of a major facility by Micron Technology earlier this year, while another unit by CG Semi has also been inaugurated, positioning Sanand as a key node in India’s semiconductor ambitions.
The Gujarat government stated that the Kaynes facility will further strengthen the ecosystem by adding OSAT capabilities—an essential part of the semiconductor value chain involving testing and packaging of chips before they are shipped to end markets. Highlighting the pace of execution in India’s semiconductor push, Modi had earlier pointed to the quick turnaround of the Micron project, noting that processes that typically take years globally were completed in under 900 days.
Gujarat now accounts for four of the 10 major projects approved under the Centre’s semiconductor programme so far.
