Cabinet Approves Two Semiconductor Projects in Gujarat Under India Semiconductor Mission

The Union Cabinet approved two semiconductor projects in Gujarat under the India Semiconductor Mission, with a combined investment of about Rs 3,936 crore. Crystal Matrix Limited will establish India's first commercial Mini Micro-LED display facility using gallium nitride (GaN) technology in Dholera, producing display panels and RGB wafers for applications including TVs, smartphones, and extended reality devices. Suchi Semicon Private Limited will set up an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) unit in Surat, manufacturing over one billion discrete semiconductor chips annually for automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. These projects are expected to generate around 2,230 skilled jobs and raise the total approved semiconductor projects under ISM to 12, with cumulative investments nearing Rs 1.64 lakh crore.
