Tata Electronics Sets Up India’s First Semiconductor Fab in Gujarat, Builds 1,500 Housing Units for Staff

Tata Electronics has initiated a groundbreaking development in India’s tech manufacturing sector by constructing the country’s first semiconductor fabrication unit in Dholera, Gujarat. This marks a major milestone in India’s push toward semiconductor self-sufficiency under the government’s “Make in India” and digital economy missions.

In addition to the advanced manufacturing facility, Tata Electronics is developing over 1,500 residential units within the region. These homes are intended primarily for the company’s staff, engineers, and key suppliers working at or around the fab site.

The semiconductor facility is expected to attract a robust ecosystem of component makers and chip supply chain players, boosting employment and infrastructure development in the area. The integrated housing plan reflects Tata Group's long-term vision to create a sustainable and high-tech industrial hub.

Located in the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR), the project benefits from proactive support from both the Gujarat state government and central government. The DSIR aims to become a leading technology and industrial corridor.

This initiative is seen as a strategic move to strengthen India’s presence in the global semiconductor supply chain and reduce dependency on foreign chip manufacturers. With global demand for semiconductors on the rise, Tata’s venture is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping India’s digital future.
