Gujarat is driving India’s dream to become the global hub of the semiconductor industry. With the vision of the Union government, its policy support, infrastructure development, and incentives, the state is the most preferred choice for semiconductor investments.

Gujarat hosted the recently concluded ‘Gujarat SemiConnect 2025’ where more than 1,500 delegates, including senior government functionaries, industry leaders, MSMEs, start-ups, incubators, and academia from across the globe, participated. The event was hosted by the department of science & technology and presided over by chief minister Bhupendra Patel and other key stakeholders, including Tata, Micron, and many other world leaders in the Semicon industry. The event provided key insights into policy framework and visionary strategies to shape the future of the semiconductor and electronics sectors.

Mona Khandhar, principal secretary, DST, GOG, said: “A robust semiconductor & ESDM sector has the potential to transform India’s economy, enhance innovation, and strengthen national security. Hosting the second edition of the Gujarat SemiConnect Conference, including Building Local to Global Value Chain, IESA Vision Summit, and ISPEC, underscores the state’s pivotal role in India’s semiconductor revolution and our commitment to establishing Gujarat as a global leader in semiconductor manufacturing."

Dholera-SIR, a burgeoning city in Gujarat, is poised to become a significant hub of economic growth and technological innovation in India. With ambitious plans for a semiconductor city, a bustling international airport, robust semiconductor ecosystem, world-class road infrastructure, Dholera is set to transform the region’s economic landscape and contribute to India’s progress.
