A media delegation from Telangana today visited the Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt. Ltd. (TSAT) facility at Jagiroad, Assam — the nation’s first indigenous semiconductor assembly and test unit designed to serve both domestic and global markets. The project marks a major milestone in India’s pursuit of a self-reliant and robust semiconductor ecosystem, aligned with the vision of the India Semiconductor Mission.

 

Interacting with the delegation, Shri Ashish Mishra, Project Head, TSAT, stated that the facility is being established with an investment outlay of ₹27,000 crore. On commissioning, it is expected to achieve a production capacity of up to 48 million semiconductor chips per day, significantly boosting India’s advanced manufacturing capabilities.

Shri Mishra highlighted that the project is poised to generate over 27,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities, contributing substantially to the economic development of the region and positioning Assam as a key hub in India's emerging semiconductor landscape.

 

The TSAT facility will focus on three core platform technologies: Wire Bond, Flip Chip, and a differentiated packaging solution known as Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP).

He further added that the roadmap includes future expansion into advanced semiconductor packaging technologies, essential for high-performance applications across automotive (especially electric vehicles), communications, and network infrastructure.

Semiconductor assembly and test constitute a critical segment of the semiconductor value chain, where wafers fabricated at semiconductor fabs are assembled, packaged, and rigorously tested before being integrated into end-use products. Innovations in packaging and testing are pivotal for enhancing chip performance, reducing form factor, and lowering costs.

This project is being developed under the Government of India’s comprehensive semiconductor policy, driven by the India Semiconductor Mission, in collaboration with the Government of Assam’s Electronics Policy. Together, these initiatives aim to establish India as a globally competitive semiconductor manufacturing and R&D destination.
