Dholera semiconductor fab

Tata Electronics and PSMC

The Dholera semiconductor fab is India's first commercial semiconductor fabrication plant, built by Tata Electronics with Taiwan's Powerchip (PSMC). The anchor industrial investment is the Tata Electronics semiconductor fab, approved by the Union Cabinet on 29 February 2024 under the India Semiconductor Mission, a Rs 91,000 crore facility built with Taiwan's PSMC for up to 50,000 wafers a month on a 300mm line.

Technology and products

The fab targets mature and specialty nodes (28, 40, 55, 90 and 110 nm) for products such as power-management ICs, display drivers, microcontrollers and high-performance-computing logic. Tata Electronics has stated the plan was always to start at 55nm and 90nm, followed by 28nm, so first chips are at a mature node rather than the leading edge. Reported

Incentives and partners

The India Semiconductor Mission covers up to 50% of eligible cost; the fiscal support agreement was signed on 5 March 2025. Confirmed Tata Electronics announced a strategic partnership with ASML for lithography, and the Centre notified a 66-hectare Tata Semiconductor SEZ in Dholera in April 2026. Reported

Status and timeline

Construction crossed the halfway mark by mid-2026 with cleanroom fit-out underway. First trial silicon is targeted for late 2026, and commercial production has been reported to move to about mid-2028. No source confirms a chip has been produced, so the dates remain targets. Reported

This article follows Dholerapedia's sourcing standard: every figure is tagged Confirmed (government or official), Reported (press or trade) or Unverified (broker), and dated. Anything framed as a future event is labelled a target until a government source confirms it. Where a fact is not reliably available, we say so rather than estimate. See the methodology.

Key facts

The core facts for dholera semiconductor fab are summarised below; each is drawn from the sources listed at the foot of this article and dated to the review month.

• SEZ: 66-hectare semiconductor SEZ notified.

Context

Dholera SIR is planned over about 920 sq km, of which roughly 422 sq km is designated for urban development across six town-planning schemes phased over about three decades. It is governed by the DSIRDA (planning authority) and built by DICDL, a special purpose vehicle held 51% by Gujarat and 49% by the central government through the NICDC Trust, and it is the flagship node of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. This context frames every article on the region; the specifics of this topic are covered above, and the full picture is in What is Dholera SIR and the master plan.

Reading this reference

Dholerapedia is a reference, so it is built to be checked rather than believed. Every figure in this article is tagged by source, Confirmed for a government or official record, Reported for press or trade coverage, and Unverified for a broker claim, and each carries a date because Dholera changes and a number that was right last year may not hold now. Anything described as a future event is treated as a target until a government source confirms it, and where a fact is not reliably available the article says so instead of guessing. None of this is investment, legal or tax advice, and no government source guarantees appreciation. If you are evaluating a specific plot, the figures here are context, not a substitute for confirming that parcel's GUJRERA registration, title and price yourself. Corrections that improve accuracy are welcome via the contact page, and entries are updated as official figures change rather than left stale. The reason for this standard is simple: a reference is only worth reading if you can act on it and check it, so we would rather show a smaller number of well-sourced facts than a larger number of impressive-sounding ones. Where a claim about Dholera circulates widely but rests only on a broker source, we note it as unverified rather than repeat it as settled, and where the official record and the marketing disagree, we follow the official record.
