The Union Cabinet has approved two new semiconductor manufacturing projects under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) 1.0, taking the total number of cleared proposals to 12.
The two projects, entailing a combined investment of about Rs 3,936 crore, will be set up in Gujarat and are expected to generate over 2,200 skilled jobs.
Among the approvals is the country’s first commercial facility for Mini/Micro-LED display manufacturing based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology. This project, led by Crystal Matrix, will come up in Dholera and include an integrated compound semiconductor fabrication and assembly unit. The facility will cater to a wide range of applications, from televisions and smartphones to automotive displays and emerging segments such as extended reality devices.
The second project, by Suchi Semicon, will establish an outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility in Surat. The unit will focus on discrete semiconductors with applications across power electronics, industrial systems, automotive and consumer electronics, with a proposed capacity of over 1 billion chips annually.Cabinet Clears Two New Semiconductor Units For Rs 3,900 Crore Under ISM 1.0; Total Approved Projects Rise To 12

With these additions, cumulative investments under ISM have reached around Rs 1.64 lakh crore. The government said the approvals will strengthen India’s broader semiconductor ecosystem, complementing ongoing efforts in chip design and manufacturing.
Of the projects cleared so far, two have already begun commercial shipments, while several others are at advanced stages and expected to go online soon, signalling steady progress in India’s ambition to build a domestic semiconductor value chain.
