PSMC (Powerchip) and Dholera
The Taiwanese technology partner
This page covers what PSMC brings, and why the partner matters. Every figure below carries the source it came from and the date it was recorded.
PSMC (Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation) is the Taiwanese technology partner for the Dholera fab, and the partnership is how a first-time Indian fab operator gets a proven process.
| Partner | Powerchip Semiconductor (PSMC), Taiwan |
|---|---|
| Role | technology and process partner |
| With | Tata Electronics |
| Fab | Rs 91,000 crore, 300mm |
| Focus | mature-node logic and specialty |
- fab
- A semiconductor fabrication plant. The factory where chips are made.
- SIR
- Special Investment Region. A large area the Gujarat government has set aside for industry under its own 2009 law, with its own planning authority instead of the usual local one.
- TP scheme
- Town planning scheme. The authority pools all the land in one area, lays out the roads and services, then hands each owner back a smaller but serviced plot.
- DSIRDA
- The statutory authority that plans and regulates Dholera SIR, in place of a municipal corporation.
- DICDL
- The company that actually builds Dholera. Gujarat holds 51% of it and the central government holds 49% through the NICDC Trust.
- NICDC
- The central agency that runs India's industrial corridor programme, which Dholera sits inside.
- DMIC
- The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, the national industrial corridor programme Dholera is a node of.
What PSMC brings
Building a semiconductor fab is as much about process know-how as capital, and PSMC supplies the mature-node manufacturing technology and transfer that lets Tata Electronics run the plant. The Dholera fab targets mature and specialty nodes rather than leading-edge chips, which is a deliberate, lower-risk entry point for India's first large commercial fab of this kind. Reported
Why the partner matters
For a reference reader the point is that the technology risk is shared with an experienced foundry rather than carried alone. Mature-node fabs serve large, steady markets like automotive, power and display drivers, so the commercial logic is real. As with the whole project, first silicon timing is a target until confirmed. Reported
This article follows Dholerapedia's sourcing standard: every figure is tagged Confirmed (government or official), Reported (press or trade) or Unverified (broker), and dated. Anything framed as a future event is labelled a target until a government source confirms it. Where a fact is not reliably available, we say so rather than estimate. See the methodology.

- Focus: mature-node logic and specialty.
Dholera SIR in one paragraph
Dholera SIR is a planned industrial city covering about 920 sq km, of which roughly 422 sq km is marked for urban development. That land is being delivered as six town planning schemes, spread over roughly three decades. DSIRDA is the authority that plans and regulates the region, and DICDL is the company that builds it, owned 51% by Gujarat and 49% by the central government through the NICDC Trust. Dholera is the flagship node of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. That is the frame every entry here sits in. The fuller version is in What Dholera SIR is and the master plan.

This is a reference, so it is written to be checked rather than believed. Each figure is marked Confirmed when a government or official record says it, Reported when the press or trade said it, and Unverified when only a seller says it. Each one carries a date, because Dholera keeps moving and a number that was right last year may not be right now. Anything still in the future is written as a target until a government source confirms it happened, and where a fact is not reliably available we say so instead of guessing.
None of this is legal, tax or investment advice, and no government source promises that land here will rise in value. If you are looking at one specific plot, treat everything on this page as background and confirm that parcel's own GUJRERA registration, title and price yourself before you pay. If a figure here has gone out of date, tell us on the contact page and we will correct it. All the figures gathered in one place are in Dholera in numbers, and the full method is on the methodology page.
