The Adani Group has announced a deal with Tower Semiconductor Ltd. Tower Semiconductor is an Israeli company. The deal is made to develop a chip manufacturing plant. The cost of this plant is 10 billion dollars. Chip manufacturing is a key step towards strengthening India’s semiconductor industry. This program is a component of India’s larger plan to increase Indigenous semiconductor manufacture in line with geopolitical and technological developments across the world
Increasing India's Capability to Produce Chips

Located close to Mumbai in Taloja, the new semiconductor fabrication plant will have a 40,000-wafer monthly production capacity at first. In the second phase. The plant’s capacity is expected to produce double the output. in the Second phase, we will reach a monthly total of 80,000 wafers. It is anticipated that the Adani Enterprises Ltd.-managed project will be finished in three to five years. The Adani Group is thinking of using to internal accruals. It is also assumed that they will use a small amount of debt to finance the project. The main focus of Adani Group will remain on manufacturing chips for the automotive, drone, and smartphone industries.
Increasing India's Share in the Production of Semiconductors
India has an increasing desire to become a major player in the global semiconductor sector. This hunger is reflected in the partnership between Adani and Tower Semiconductor. The tension between large economies such as China and the United States is Increasing. As a result, many nations are trying to cut back on their reliance on foreign chips as tensions between major economies. In an effort to draw in foreign chipmakers, India has also established a $10 billion fund; this has already been successful, as seen by Micron Technology’s decision to build a $2.75 billion semiconductor assembly unit in Gujarat.
A Crucial Aim for India's Future in Technology
For Indian Government which is led by Prime Minister Narender Modi thinks semiconductor development is very important. It will help for the development of the nation and also help in India’s mission to become a superpower. The Israeli company, particularly in light of its unsuccessful purchase by Intel, now has a presence in a quickly expanding industry thanks to its cooperation with Tower. After the Tata Group’s eleven billion-dollar chip unit in Gujarat, Adani will become the second Indian multinational corporation to break into the chip production sector with this new endeavour.
This endeavour is a major step forward for India’s technical aspirations as it places itself in the global chip race.
