Chandigarh, March 1, 2026: The India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) has congratulated the Government of India and Micron Technology on the historic inauguration of Micron’s state-of-the-art ATMP (Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packaging) facility in Sanand, Gujarat, by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
Terming the event a defining milestone in India’s semiconductor journey, Mr. Ashok Chandak, President, IESA who witnessed the inauguration in person, said: “It was a privilege to witness history on the ground. The Prime Minister’s triple cadence said it all — ‘India is ready, India is reliable, and India delivers’ — a powerful declaration of the nation’s confidence in building a world-class chip ecosystem.”
The commissioning of Micron’s ATMP plant marks the successful translation of India’s semiconductor policy intent into execution and manufacturing readiness. It reflects the strong commitment of the Government of India, MeitY, the India Semiconductor Mission, the Government of Gujarat, and the confidence of our valued member company Micron in India’s design and manufacturing capabilities.
Micron’s landmark investment of ₹22,516 crore (approximately USD 2.75 billion) represents one of the largest commitments by a global semiconductor leader in India’s manufacturing landscape in addition to their design Centers in India. The Sanand facility is expected to generate approximately 5,000 direct jobs and over 15,000 indirect employment opportunities, nurturing a skilled semiconductor workforce.
