The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Nar endra Modi has approved the establishment of three semiconductor units under Development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystems in India.

The three semiconductor units will be established at Dholera in Gujarat, Morigaon in Assam and Sanand in Gujarat.

Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw said that all three units will start construction within next 100 days and also highlighted the importance of setting up of a semiconductor unit in Assam.

"All three units will start construction within the next 100 days. Northeast will get its first semiconductor Unit in Assam. Investment in the Assam unit will be 27,000 crore. Chips produced from here will be used by the big automobile companies across the globe. Whenever we used to talk about investment in North-East the concept of technological investment was never discussed.

This tradition has been changed by Prime Minister Modi," Vaishnaw said.
