The Tata group will focus on the ATMP unit instead of a setting up a full-fledged fabrication plant for the near term, said one of the people, seeking anonymity. “Supply chain for semiconductor chip fabrication unit is sometime away but there is a lot of interest in semiconductor packaging. It is looking for land to set up the unit," the person said.
