Israeli semiconductor manufacturer Tower Semiconductor has submitted its proposal to establish a semiconductor fabrication facility in India worth around USD 8 billion. The Government of India is currently analyzing and assessing Tower's proposal. The semiconductor manufacturing facility aims to produce 65 nm and 40 nm chips, which will find applications in sectors such as automotive and wearable electronics.
This project aligns with India's USD 10 billion semiconductor scheme launched in December 2021, which offers subsidies and support to attract chipmakers. Tower Semiconductor seeks government support, potentially including the 50% capital expenditure subsidy promised under the scheme.
This could translate to a potential $4 billion contribution from the Indian government, making the project even more attractive to Tower. Additionally, the chosen state within India might offer further incentives, such as tax breaks and infrastructure support.
However, challenges remain. Previous attempts to attract chipmakers with incentives have faced difficulties, resulting in some proposals stalling or being scrapped. Moreover, securing land, water, and other resources for such a large-scale project could pose logistical hurdles.
Tower Semiconductor, an industry leader in Israel, specializes in manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) utilizing advanced specialty process technologies. Our cutting-edge methodologies enable the creation of various types of chips, including analog, mixed-signal, RF, and power management chips.
With a commitment to innovation and excellence, Tower Semiconductor has emerged as one of the foremost foundries globally, meeting the evolving demands of diverse industries. Established in 1993, Tower Semiconductor embarked on its journey by acquiring National Semiconductor's 150mm wafer fabrication facility in Migdal Haemek, Israel.
This strategic move laid the foundation for our unparalleled expertise and technological prowess in semiconductor manufacturing. Explore our comprehensive database to discover the latest upcoming and ongoing semiconductor projects spearheaded by Tower Semiconductor worldwide.
