The two approved proposals are to set up semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Gujarat with a cumulative investment of around Rs.3,936 crore. These are expected to generate a cumulative employment for 2,230 skilled professionals.

Crystal Matrix Limited (CML) will establish an integrated facility for compound semiconductor fabrication and ATMP in Dholera, Gujarat for manufacturing mini/micro-LED display modules. The integrated facility will also provide GaN foundry services, including epitaxy on 6” wafers.

The annual proposed production capacity for mini/micro-LED display panels is 72,000 sq. meters and for Mini-Micro-LED GaN Epitaxy Wafers around 24,000 sets of RGB wafers.

The proposed products will have applications in large displays for TVs and signages/commercial displays, medium-sized displays for tablets, smart phones and in-car displays and micro-displays for extended reality (XR) glasses and smart watches.

Suchi Semicon Private Limited (SSPL) will be setting up an outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility in Surat, Gujarat for manufacturing discrete semiconductors

The proposed production capacity of the Suchi Semicon is 1033.20 million chips per annum. The target applications include power electronics, analog ICs and industrial systems, serving end-markets such as automotive, industrial automation and consumer electronics.

“With these two approvals, semiconductor ecosystem in the country would get a significant boost as the total number of approved projects under India Semi-conductor Mission (ISM) reaches 12, with cumulative investments of around Rs.1.64 lakh crore,” said an official release.

“The momentum is building up further in the semiconductor ecosystem in India with the ten approved projects already in various stages of execution. Two projects have already started commercial shipments from India and two more are expected to start commercial shipments soon,” it said.
