Semiconductor mission: Consistent momentum
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on 14 May approved the establishment of one more semiconductor unit under India Semiconductor Mission.
Already five semiconductor units are in advanced stages of construction. With this sixth unit, Bharat moves forward in its journey to develop the strategically vital semiconductor industry.
The unit approved is a joint venture of HCL and Foxconn. HCL has a long history of developing and manufacturing hardware. Foxconn is a global major in electronics manufacturing. Together they will set up a plant near Jewar airport in Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority or YEIDA.
This plant will manufacture display driver chips for mobile phones, laptops, automobiles, PCs, and myriad of other devices that have display.
With the demand for semiconductor increasing with the rapid growth in Bharat, this new unit will further add to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
