The Indian government sought and received assurances from the Tata Group that its roughly $14 billion semiconductor and electronics projects will proceed on schedule, despite the leadership dispute at Tata Sons.
The approach came last week through a senior official at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, according to people familiar with the discussions. Tata Electronics' plans for the Gujarat fabrication plant and its wider electronics expansion remain on timeline.
The projects are the centrepiece of India's semiconductor programme. Tata Electronics is building the country's first commercial fab at Dholera in Gujarat with Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, an investment of about ₹91,000 crore producing 300-millimetre wafers at nodes from 28nm to 110nm for automotive, mobile, computing and communications applications. A semiconductor assembly and testing facility at Jagiroad in Assam accounts for a further ₹27,000 crore and is projected to create 27,000 direct and indirect jobs. Both were approved by the Cabinet in 2024 as part of a ₹1.26 trillion package.
