PM Modi Inaugurates CG Semi OSAT Facility in Sanand, Strengthening India's Semiconductor Ecosystem
Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the CG Semi Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility in Sanand, Gujarat. This facility is expected to strengthen the India’s semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem by enhancing the the chip packaging and testing capabilities. It is developed under the Semicon India Programme, this project represents another important step towards building a complete semiconductor value chain from chip design and fabrication to assembly, packaging, and testing and it showcases India’s to become self reliant in every part of technology.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) facility in Sanand, Gujarat, called it as “an important milestone” as India develops its rapidly growing semiconductor sector.
In his speech at the opening ceremony, the Prime Minister stated that India is establishing a competitive semiconductor industry globally with consistent investment, international partnerships and supported government policies.
The commercial launch of the new facility signals the start of large-scale semiconductor assembly and testing operations, providing further support to India’s position in the global electronics supply chain.
An OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) facility refers to a single type of specialty manufacturing process; it handles the last stages of semiconductor wafer production.
OSAT facilities perform many key functions, including the,
These functions create reliable semiconductor chips to be incorporated into products such as smartphones, automobiles, industrial equipment, and consumer electronic devices.
The Sanand facility is one of the largest semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the India.
