Tata Electronics in Dholera
The anchor investor and its fab
This page covers the company and the project, and why one investor matters this much. Every figure below carries the source it came from and the date it was recorded.
Tata Electronics is the anchor investor whose semiconductor fab gives Dholera its single most important, physically-under-construction reason to exist as an industrial city.
| Company | Tata Electronics (Tata Group) |
|---|---|
| Project | Rs 91,000 crore semiconductor fab |
| Partner | PSMC, Taiwan |

| Capacity | up to 50,000 wafers/month, 300mm |
- fab
- A semiconductor fabrication plant. The factory where chips are made.
- wafer
- The thin disc of silicon that chips are cut from. A fab's capacity is quoted in wafers per month.
- 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.
The company and the project
The anchor industrial investment is the Tata Electronics semiconductor fab, approved by the Union Cabinet on 29 February 2024 under the India Semiconductor Mission, a Rs 91,000 crore facility built with Taiwan's PSMC for up to 50,000 wafers a month on a 300mm line. Tata Electronics is the Tata Group's electronics-manufacturing arm, and its Dholera fab is being built with Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) as technology partner. Cabinet approval came on 29 February 2024 under the India Semiconductor Mission. Confirmed
Why one investor matters this much
A greenfield industrial region lives or dies on anchor tenants, and a fab of this scale pulls in suppliers, utilities demand, skilled jobs and housing pressure around it. That is why Dholera's credibility rose sharply once the fab moved from announcement to construction. The counterweight to keep in mind is concentration risk: much of the near-term story rests on this one project executing on schedule. First mature-node output is a stated target, not yet an achievement. 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.

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.
