Tata Electronics, the semiconductor arm of India's Tata Group, has started chip packaging at its Jagiroad facility in Assam, marking the first production activity at the ₹27,120 crore ($2.83 billion) plant. One complete production line and its manufacturing team relocated from the smaller Vemagal facility in Karnataka to begin operations ahead of schedule.

Once fully operational by the end of 2026, the Assam plant will package up to 48 million semiconductor chips daily. Customers include global automotive, industrial, telecom, consumer electronics, and AI device manufacturers.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the timeline during a site visit on Wednesday, May 20, stating that production will start soon and deliver what he called "Made in Assam semiconductor chips" in his Linkedin post.
