Sanand mein chip hub ka jaldi jaldi growth!
Dekho, Sanand, Gujarat ab sirf car factory ka area nahi raha, yeh semiconductor manufacturing ka centre banta ja raha hai. Kaynes Semicon ne 31 March 2026 ko apni Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility officially open kar di hai. Ye bohot fast development hai, aur Micron Technology jaise companies ke saath milkar India ki industrial policy ka asar dikh raha hai. Prime Minister Modi bhi keh chuke hain ki ab planning se zyada actual production par focus hai, aur Gujarat high-tech manufacturing mein aage badh raha hai.
Global OSAT Market mein India ka position?
Pata hai, ye global OSAT market bohot bada hai, aaj $4.524 billion (2024) ka hai aur 2032 tak $12.547 billion ho jayega, yani 13.6% CAGR se badhega. Is market mein ASE Technology Holding, Amkor Technology, aur China ki JCET Group jaisi badi companies hain. Kaynes Semicon ki nayi facility, jo roz 60 lakh chips bana sakti hai, aur jisme ₹3,300 crore ka investment hai, is badhti hui market ka hissa banna chahti hai. Ye facility industrial, automotive, consumer electronics, aur telecom sectors ko serve karegi. Overall, India ka semiconductor market 2030 tak $100-$110 billion tak pahunch sakta hai, kyunki yahan demand bohot hai.
Policy se mila Fast Track Support
Kaynes facility ka itna jaldi set up hona (September 23, 2024 ko Union Cabinet ne approve kiya tha) India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) ke liye ek badi jeet hai. ISM, jo 2021 mein ₹76,000 crore ke budget ke saath shuru hui thi, ab tak lagbhag ₹1.60 lakh crore ke projects approve kar chuki hai. Kaynes Semicon ke project ko government ka full support mila hai - 50% investment central government aur 20% Gujarat government de rahi hai. Iss policy support ne project timelines ko bohot speed up kar diya hai, jo pehle India mein aise bade projects mein delays hote the, usse yeh ekdam alag hai. Kaynes ne pilot setup poora kar liya hai aur ab commercial production start karne ja rahe hain.
Chip Sector ke Liye Bade Challenges
Par, itna sab hone ke baad bhi, India ke semiconductor dreams ko kuch bade challenges face karne padenge. Sabse badi problem hai specialized manufacturing talent ki kami; 2027 tak 250,000 se 300,000 skilled professionals ki kami ho sakti hai. Domestic supply chain bhi bahar se aane wale cheezon par bohot depend karti hai, jaise high-purity chemicals, specialty gases, aur silicon wafers, jinmein se 90% se zyada import hoti hain. OSAT sector mein khud global competition bohot hai, aur Sanand mein itni facilities banne se overcapacity ka risk bhi hai. Chip fabrication plants ke liye $5-7 billion jitna paisa lagta hai, aur reliable power aur infrastructure bhi chahiye, jo execution ko mushkil banata hai. Kaynes Semicon ko ye sab manage karna hoga taaki woh global leaders ko compete kar sake.
Semiconductor Ecosystem Ke Liye Agle Steps
Government India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 ke through aur support dene ka plan kar rahi hai, jisme FY 2026-27 ke liye ₹1,000 crore ka alag budget hoga. Is phase mein semiconductor equipment aur materials ki domestic production, chip design capabilities badhana, aur global supply chain ko improve karne par focus hoga. Sanand ka yeh fast growth ek achha start hai, par India ki semiconductor strategy ki long-term success talent development, supply chain localization, aur R&D innovation jaise muddon ko solve karne par depend karegi. Isi se sustainable competitiveness aur self-reliant industry banegi.
