According to Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, the plant will have a production capacity of 40,000 wafers in the first phase and 80,000 wafers in the second, providing 5,000 jobs. The semiconductor plant is expected to be built in three to five years.
The Adani group will fund the investment through its internal funds and debt. The chips manufactured at the new semiconductor facility will be used in drones, cars, smartphones, and other projects.
Semiconductors are a key industry amid a rising tech rivalry between the US and China, and India aims to manufacture semiconductor chips domestically rather than rely on imports. This deal with Adani strengthens Tower Semiconductor's position in the Indian market and provides it a boost after its failed acquisition bid by Intel Corp.
Earlier, the Tata Group partnered with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp to build a ₹91,000 crore ($11 billion) chip fabrication plant in Dholera, Gujarat. The Tata Group's plant was expected to manufacture 50,000 mature chips using 40-nanometer or older technology, primarily for consumer electronics, automobiles, defence systems, and aircraft.
India has also established a $10 billion fund to attract chipmakers, leading US-based memory maker Micron Technology Inc, to build a $2.75 billion facility in Gujarat.
