Micron opens India's first commercial chip assembly and test plant in Sanand
Micron's assembly and test facility in Sanand, Gujarat, a roughly $2.75bn project shared with Indian central and state government support, was opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with commercial production under way. It turns DRAM and NAND wafers into finished memory and storage products; its first phase has over 500,000 sq ft of cleanroom.
Why it matters
It is the first commercial output of India's semiconductor incentive scheme and puts India into the memory supply chain that AI servers depend on.
