History

Historical Context

After a 1989 fire crippled the state-run Semiconductor Complex Limited in Mohali, production only resumed in 1997, marking India’s first domestic IC fab. Decades later, Tata Electronics, together with Dutch Nexperia and CSIR-SL, is building a 28-nm Dholera plant costing INR 91,000 crore and targeting 50,000 wafer starts per month by 2026. The shift shows how early public-backed efforts inform today’s large-scale, foreign-partnered chip strategy.
