Chhattisgarh Lays Foundation for India’s First Gallium Nitride Semiconductor Plant
Developed by Chennai-based Polymatech Electronics, the ₹1,143 crore project aims to produce up to 10 billion chips annually by 2030.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has laid the foundation stone for India’s first Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based semiconductor manufacturing facility in Nava Raipur.
Developed by Chennai-based Polymatech Electronics, the ₹1,143 crore project aims to produce up to 10 billion chips annually by 2030.
This cutting-edge facility will cater to critical applications in 5G/6G, high-performance computing, defense, electric vehicles, and energy-efficient electronics.
GaN, a next-gen material superior to traditional silicon, enables faster, smaller, and more efficient devices—marking a significant leap in India’s semiconductor capabilities.
State officials believe the project positions Chhattisgarh as a rising force in the global semiconductor landscape. “This partnership will transform Chhattisgarh into a global hub for tech innovation,” said Rajat Kumar, Secretary of the Commerce and Industry Department.
India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) President Ashok Chandak praised the initiative, calling it a key milestone in India's journey toward semiconductor self-reliance.
“We commend the Government of Chhattisgarh for its forward-thinking policies and swift support. This is a major step toward India’s emergence as a global leader in semiconductors—powered by technology, talent, and trust,” he said.
