Gujarat’s emerging semiconductor ecosystem has received a significant boost as a group of international investors from Japan, South Korea and Malaysia committed over ₹1,600 crore in new investments, state officials announced at the SemiConnect Conference 2026 in Gandhinagar.
The investments will support the development of manufacturing facilities, R&D centers and advanced semiconductor supply-chain infrastructure in key hubs such as Sanand and Dholera, enhancing Gujarat’s role in India’s growing chip-making landscape.
Among the commitments, Malaysia’s Hotayi Electronic has pledged ₹350–500 crore for a memory module manufacturing plant in Sanand, while Hi-Spec Ltd will invest ₹750 crore in producing high-purity chemicals essential to chip fabrication. Additionally, Japanese firms are establishing R&D and specialist technology units, boosting technical know-how and innovation capacity in the region.
The collaborative initiatives also include partnerships between global and Indian companies working on semiconductor equipment and sustainable manufacturing technology, reflecting broader interest in strengthening local production and research capabilities.
This infusion of foreign capital is expected to generate jobs, attract further private sector interest, and deepen Gujarat’s integration into the global semiconductor value chain — a cornerstone of India’s national chip-making strategy under the broader *Semicon Mission”.
Officials said the state’s policy support and improving infrastructure have made Gujarat an increasingly attractive destination for high-tech manufacturing and investment.
