Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma urged investors and industry stakeholders to explore the emerging opportunities in Assam’s semiconductor ecosystem, particularly with the Tata Electronics semiconductor assembly, testing and packaging (OSAT) facility at Jagiroad scheduled for commissioning in December this year.
Interacting with industrialists and other stakeholders on the sidelines of SEMICON India 2026 at Yashobhoomi in the national capital, the Chief Minister said the State Government was making every effort to ensure the success of the Tata OSAT facility through enabling policies, institutional support and investor-friendly frameworks.
Sarma said the semiconductor ecosystem was expanding rapidly, opening up new avenues for innovation, investment and economic growth. The sector, he said, was no longer confined to chip design and assembly, but was expanding into fabrication, advanced packaging, equipment, materials, research and talent development.
He said the Tata OSAT facility at Jagiroad, once operational, would have the capacity to produce 48 million chips a day and generate around 27,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities. The facility, he added, would play an important role in positioning Assam, as well as India, as a major hub for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.
Highlighting Assam’s strategic geographical location, the Chief Minister said the State enjoys a unique advantage as the gateway to Southeast Asia and the wider ASEAN consumer markets.
With the right ecosystem and investment, Assam could build a full-stack semiconductor industry spanning chip design, fabrication, packaging and testing, he said.
Sarma said the State Government was working to create an investor-friendly environment and provide the policy and institutional support required to make Assam a preferred destination for investment and long-term growth.
In a post on X, the Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s semiconductor mission was entering a new phase.
Referring to SEMICON India 2026, Sarma said the conclave was showcasing the future of India’s semiconductor industry and “Assam proudly is part of it.”
Sarma said the event reflected India’s growing capabilities across chip design, manufacturing, research and the wider electronics ecosystem.
