Gujarat is rapidly emerging as a key hub for the electronics and semiconductor industry in India, boosted by the Gujarat Semiconductor Policy 2022-27 which offers attractive incentives. The establishment of Dholera Special Investment Region (Dholera SIR) as a ‘Semicon City’ further underscores this commitment.

Here are some of the top electronics and semiconductor firms with a notable presence or significant upcoming investments in Gujarat:

Electronics Firms with Presence in Gujarat:

1. Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd: A major electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider with a nationwide presence, including potential operations or partnerships in Gujarat, especially given the state’s push for electronics manufacturing. They manufacture a wide array of products like consumer electronics, lighting, and home appliances.
2. Mefron Technologies: An electronics contract manufacturing service (EMS) company with a significant manufacturing facility in India. While their primary location details in Gujarat need verification, their broad service offerings align with the state’s focus on electronics manufacturing.
3. TVS Electronics Ltd-Omkar Software & Systems: Based in Rajkot, this company manufactures a range of electronic goods, including consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics.
4. Gelco Electronics Pvt Ltd: Located in Kalol, Gandhinagar, they have been in the electronics manufacturing business for over 40 years.
5. Masibus Automation & Instrumentation Pvt Ltd: Based in Gandhinagar, they are involved in automation and instrumentation, which includes electronic components and systems.
6. Essen Peripherals: Located in Gandhinagar, they manufacture EPABX boards and computer peripherals.
7. Gujarat Communications & Electronics Ltd. (GCEL): While primarily focused on communication and strategic electronics, they have manufacturing facilities in Gujarat.
8. Jyoti Ltd: Based in Vadodara, they manufacture a range of electrical and engineering products, potentially including some electronic components or systems.
9. Blue Star Ltd: Has an air-conditioning machinery manufacturing plant and an electronics factory for EPABX in Gujarat.
10. Adani Group: While diversified, their foray into areas like data centers and infrastructure development involves significant electronics integration and potential manufacturing in their Gujarat facilities.

Semiconductor Firms with Presence or Planned Investments in Gujarat:

1. Micron Technology: Investing significantly ($2.75 billion) to set up an OSAT (Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging) facility in Sanand. This marks a major step in developing Gujarat’s semiconductor ecosystem. Operations are expected to begin by the first half of 2025.
2. Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd: Partnering with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) to establish India’s first commercial semiconductor fabrication (fab) unit in Dholera SIR, with investments exceeding ₹91,000 crore. The fab is expected to be ready by 2026.
3. CG Power and Industrial Solutions Ltd: In partnership with Japan’s Renesas and Thailand’s Stars Microelectronics, is setting up an OSAT facility in GIDC Sanand with a significant investment (₹7,600 crore).
4. Kaynes Semicon: As part of the chip packaging cluster being developed in GIDC Sanand, Kaynes Semicon is establishing a facility.
5. Ruttonsha International Rectifier Ltd: While having a broader presence, they are listed as a semiconductor manufacturer in Gujarat.
6. S M Electronics Technologies Ltd: Listed as a semiconductor manufacturer in Gandhinagar.
7. Sas Power Semiconductor Devices: Based in Ahmedabad, they are involved in power semiconductor devices.
8. Orient Semiconductors Pvt Ltd: Located in Halol, potentially involved in semiconductor manufacturing or related activities.
9. Vedanta-Foxconn Joint Venture (though facing developments): While there have been shifts in this joint venture, their initial significant plans to set up a semiconductor fab in Gujarat highlighted the state’s potential.
10. Intel India: While primarily known for design and R&D in India, they have shown interest in expanding manufacturing, and Gujarat has been mentioned as a potential location.

Important Considerations:

• Evolving Landscape: The electronics and semiconductor landscape in Gujarat is rapidly evolving with new investments and partnerships. This list reflects the current situation and announced plans.
• Focus on Manufacturing and Assembly: Gujarat is currently seeing significant traction in semiconductor assembly and testing (OSAT) and electronics manufacturing services (EMS). Pure-play semiconductor fabrication is a more capital and technology-intensive area, with the Tata-PSMC fab being a landmark development.
• Policy Impact: The Gujarat Semiconductor Policy is a key driver in attracting these investments, offering financial and non-fiscal incentives.

This overview provides a snapshot of the top electronics and semiconductor firms with a significant or growing presence in Gujarat, highlighting the state’s strategic importance in India’s burgeoning electronics and semiconductor sector. The coming years are expected to witness further growth and the emergence of new players in this dynamic ecosystem.
