Fujifilm will invest about ₹800 crore, roughly $83 million, to build a semiconductor materials plant in the Dholera Special Investment Region in Gujarat, and has signed a memorandum of understanding with Tata Electronics to supply the fab Tata is building there.
The agreement was signed on 17 September during SEMICON India 2026. The plant will be developed in phases, with the first targeted for completion by 2028. Some Fujifilm products have already received certification from Tata Electronics for the initial phase of operations. Later phases are expected to add chemical mechanical planarisation slurries, used to polish wafers.
The partnership has a second component beyond Fujifilm's own plant. Fujifilm will provide technical support to Indian chemical manufacturers, sharing know-how in quality assurance and manufacturing processes so they can produce the high-purity chemicals chipmaking requires. The company is also evaluating an application laboratory and a local research and development centre. Its Indian team is expected to grow from about 10 people to roughly 70 over five years, supported by engineers from Japan.
