Union 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 (ISM), 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 wafers for applications including TVs, smartphones, and defence. Suchi Semicon Private Limited will set up an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) unit in Surat, manufacturing over one billion discrete chips annually for sectors like automotive and consumer electronics. These approvals complete the first phase of ISM, bringing the total to 12 projects with cumulative investments around Rs 1.64 lakh crore, aiming to strengthen India's semiconductor ecosystem and reduce import dependence.
