I extend my sincere gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri
@narendramodi ji and Union Minister Shri
@AshwiniVaishnaw ji for their steadfast support in positioning Odisha as a key hub for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. The Centre’s guidance and the India Semiconductor Mission’s initiatives have enabled the State to attract world-class investment, cutting-edge technology, and high-value employment opportunities.
Today’s Bhoomi Pujan & Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Compound Semiconductor Fab & ATMP Facility (a project by SiCSem Pvt. Ltd., approved under the India Semiconductor Mission) at Info Valley, Bhubaneswar, marks a defining moment in Odisha’s semiconductor journey. With a capital investment of ₹2,067 crore, this unit will create 5,000 direct and indirect jobs, and achieve an annual output of 60,000 wafers with a packaging capacity of 96 million units. The company is also establishing a ₹64 crore Research & Innovation Centre at IIT Bhubaneswar, while the Union Minister has approved ₹5 crore from his MP-LAD fund for a ‘Namo Semiconductor Laboratory’ at the institute. These initiatives, along with the announcement of a Power Electronics Hub at IIT Bhubaneswar, will nurture innovation, research, and skill development in the State.
On behalf of the people of Odisha, I once again sincerely thank the Hon’ble Prime Minister and Union Minister for their continuous support, visionary leadership, and commitment to a technology-driven, Atmanirbhar Bharat. Together, we are building a Samruddha Odisha contributing to a Viksit Bharat, creating opportunities, fostering innovation, and strengthening India’s position in the global semiconductor landscape.
