Rajasthan gets its first Semiconductor Plant
06 June 2026: The Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) developed by ELCINA at Salarpur, Khushkhera, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, along with the Semiconductor ATMP/OSAT facility of Sahasra Semiconductors (P) Ltd. was virtually inaugurated recently by Union Minister for Electronics & Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The inauguration took place in the presence of Bhajan Lal Sharma, Chief Minister of Rajasthan and Bhupender Yadav, Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The event marks a significant milestone in India’s journey towards becoming a global hub for electronics manufacturing and semiconductors. This progress is being driven by the visionary initiatives of Make in India, Digital India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, launched under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing the gathering, Ashwini Vaishnaw called this a historic day for the state of Rajasthan as it enters the semiconductor industry – a strategically critical industry globally from a geopolitical perspective. He highlighted India’s rapid progress in electronics manufacturing over the last 12 years, with production growing 6 times to nearly Rs.13 lakh crores and exports rising to around Rs.4.24 lakh crores. He underscored that mobile phones have now become India’s top export commodity.
Union Minister credited this to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s treatment of electronics and semiconductors as focus sectors. He added that schemes like Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC), India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and Production Linked Incentives (PLI) are implemented methodically by working together with the state governments and industries.
Bhajan Lal Sharma, Chief Minister, Rajasthan underlined that the state government has in March 2026 come out with a Rajasthan Semiconductor Policy and outlined his priority to develop the region close to Delhi NCR into a manufacturing hub. Union Minister Bhupender Yadav also noted that earlier, Bhiwadi region was known mainly for the automobile sector, but now semiconductor and electronics industries are also being promoted.
Semiconductor ATMP/OSAT Facility
This facility of Sahasra Semiconductors (P) Ltd. is India’s 1st Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) to start commercial production of semiconductor chips. Developed under MeitY’s Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS), the facility has been set up with an investment of over Rs.150 crore. It is spread over 57,000 sq. ft. and equipped with Class 10K and 100K cleanrooms. The facility will package memory chips for products such as Micro SD and flash storage, along with LED driver ICs, eSIMs and RFID products. The unit currently has an annual packaging capacity of 60 million semiconductor units with SPECS-supported projected capacity of about 43 million units. It has plans to scale up to nearly 400-600 million units annually over the next 2-3 years.
The facility is already exporting more than 60% of its production to global markets including USA, Germany, France and Eastern Europe, China and Nepal. Facility is now moving towards its own product R&D, including LED driver chips and other semiconductor products. It will also support training of youth in semiconductor packaging and high-tech manufacturing in collaboration with ESSCI and technical institutes.
