World's biggest Semiconductor OSAT Facility in Assam: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma shows Rs 27,000-crore factory in Jagiroad. Watch

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has highlighted the state’s growing role in India’s semiconductor industry in a video filmed outside Tata Electronics’ semiconductor assembly and testing facility in Jagiroad, describing the under-construction project as the world’s largest of its kind.

In the video, Sarma pointed to the facility, which represents an investment of Rs 27,000 crore, and recalled how Assam’s participation in the country’s semiconductor push had once seemed unlikely to many. He said the state had now become an important part of that transformation.

“When India’s semiconductor revolution started, nobody thought Assam would become an essential part of it,” Sarma said, recalling the doubts over whether the state could deliver such a project. Pointing towards the building behind him, he added that Assam had proved it could.

The chief minister also credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s support for helping make the project possible. Recalling Modi’s remark that people would say “A for Assam”, Sarma said the development was now giving people a clearer understanding of the statement.

During the video, Sarma also held up an object containing multiple embedded chips and explained that such components would go into mobile phones. He said the facility was putting Jagiroad on the global map.

The Tata Electronics project is an assembly, testing, marking and packaging (OSAT) facility, a key part of the semiconductor supply chain that prepares chips for use in electronic devices.
