Gandhinagar, July 3: The Government of Gujarat has announced plans to set up a semiconductor research and training hub at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar, backed by an investment of ₹190 crore.
The initiative aims to strengthen India’s semiconductor ecosystem by promoting advanced research, skill development, and industry-ready training in chip design and related technologies. The hub is expected to support collaboration between academia, industry, and government institutions.
Officials said the centre will focus on building a skilled workforce in semiconductor technologies, a sector that is becoming increasingly critical for electronics manufacturing, artificial intelligence systems, automotive technology, and other high-tech industries.
The project is also expected to enhance research capabilities at IIT Gandhinagar and contribute to India’s broader goal of self-reliance in semiconductor manufacturing and design.
Experts believe the facility will play a key role in bridging the talent gap in the semiconductor sector while supporting innovation and startup activity in deep-tech domains.
