Tata Group Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran has announced a major investment plan in Assam, focusing on electronics manufacturing and green energy. The group is set to invest approximately ₹25,000 crore in setting up a large electronics manufacturing unit in the state over the next few years. This move follows Tata Group’s ongoing ₹27,000 crore investment in a semiconductor assembly and testing facility in Jagiroad, Assam.
The new electronics manufacturing facility will play a crucial role in strengthening India’s electronics ecosystem. It is expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities while bolstering the country’s position in the global supply chain. The unit will focus on advanced technology, manufacturing high-end electronic components, and contributing to India’s vision of self-reliance in semiconductor and electronics production.
In addition to electronics manufacturing, Tata Group has partnered with the Assam government to invest in renewable energy projects. This initiative will include the development of solar rooftop systems and other green energy solutions, in line with India’s commitment to sustainability and carbon neutrality. The collaboration is expected to provide a significant boost to Assam’s renewable energy infrastructure, helping industries and households adopt cleaner energy alternatives.
The semiconductor facility in Jagiroad, which will be India’s first indigenous semiconductor assembly and testing unit, is on track to become operational in 2025. This marks a major milestone in India’s semiconductor industry, reducing dependency on imports and enhancing the country’s capability in advanced chip manufacturing.
Tata Group’s investments in Assam underline its long-term commitment to fostering industrial growth in the Northeast region. These strategic initiatives align with India’s broader goals of becoming a global hub for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing while promoting green energy solutions.
