Bharat Semitech to set up ₹1,000 crore semiconductor plant in Sanand

Bharat Semitech has expressed interest in setting up a plant for the manufacturing of semiconductor equipment in Sanand. The company proposes to invest approximately ₹1,000 crore for this project. According to a report by DeshGujarat, this significant possibility has emerged during the investment campaign undertaken by the Gujarat government in Singapore and South Korea ahead of the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2027.

A high-level delegation of the Gujarat government, led by Minister for Science and Technology Arjun Modhwadia, visited Singapore and South Korea between 19 to 26 October, 2026. The primary objective of this visit was to promote Gujarat as a global investment destination and to invite companies to the 11th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit to be held in Gandhinagar between 10 to 12 January, 2027.

In Singapore, the delegation held 20 meetings and visited organisations such as Micron and ASMPT. In South Korea, approximately 25 visits and meetings were conducted in sectors including semiconductor, shipbuilding, data centre, and robotics. These included organisations such as HJ Heavy Industries, Hanwha Ocean, and Seoul Semiconductor. South Korean companies emphasised the need for a dedicated Single Point of Contact (SPOC) within the Gujarat government to streamline the investment process.

According to Wikipedia, Sanand is a city and municipality located in the Ahmedabad district. It has been a major industrial hub in Western India, housing the manufacturing plants of several large domestic and foreign companies.
