The Company will build India’s fully integrated Silicon (Si) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductor platform in Dholera

One more company has now joined the global race to invest thousands of crores in the future city of India, Dholera. The latest announcement has come from Nextgen Semiconductor, which has said that it is planning to establish a fully integrated Silicon (Si) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductor platform in Dholera, Gujarat, according to media reports. And the amount that they are planning to invest in multiple phases in Dholera is staggering Rs 8,800 crore. For the first phase, Nextgen Semiconductor will raise 1,000-1,500 crore through equity and structured investments. And the construction work will start from April, 2026 and is expected to be completed within 15 months.

Once completed, it will have huge impact on the wafer-to-component ecosystem and will help an array of sectors from industrial electronics and data centres to renewable energy and electric vehicles. This development in Dholera is highly significant as it will reduce India’s dependency on imported chips and also strengthen India’s position as a global manufacturing hub. A series of such investments has given a major boost and great validation to the view that Dholera will soon become India’s powerhouse for high-tech industries.

The Semiconductor Revolution And Dholera

A lot of things have happened since the time Tata Electronics announced setting up of India’s first semiconductor fabrication facility in Dholera SIR, with an investment of Rs 91,000 crore. The announcement was not a just a business expansion decision, but a visionary step to put India on the global map of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.

Any such semiconductor fabrication plant works only when it has the proper infrastructure support, and an ecosystem of supplier and services. The reason behind Tata’s mega decision is Dholera’s promising infrastructure and government support. Dholera has huge and vacant parcels of land, modern infrastructure, uninterrupted and stable power supply and everything that an industry of such scale requires.

Strong Supply Chain In The Making

A semiconductor ecosystem needs specialty gases, precision materials, chemicals and machinery to operate efficiently and effectively. A number of companies, including Nextgen Semiconductor, that have announced investments in Dholera complete the circle of that ecosystem. German company, Linde, an expert in industrial gases, is already in advance talks to build a plant in Dholera. Industrial gases are critical for semiconductor fab facility and if Linde establish a plant there, then it will be reliable as well as cost-efficient for the Tata plant.

Also global chemicals company, Merck has partnered with Tata Electronics to supply high-end materials and chemicals to the fab facility. These developments will ensure that Tata Plant doesn’t not face any supply bottlenecks and function like a world-class plant.

Several Japanese delegation have also visited Dholera in the recent past to explore investment opportunities in the field of semiconductors, like precision engineering, electronics and supporting supply chain industries. When a highly developed country like Japan is showing interest in Dholera, it means they believe in the future potential of the region. Several other US European companies are also in talks to establish offices in Dholera.

Boost To Residential & Social Infrastructure

Many people who believe that Dholera will only grow as an industrial hub, needs to think logically. Semiconductor plants of that scale needs skilled and unskilled workers in huge numbers. From technicians, engineers, and support staff, thousands of jobs will be created. And these employees, who will come from different parts of the country and globe, would require home to reside. According to reports, 1,500 apartments are being planned initially for Tata staff who will work in the semiconductor plant. And you can’t attract talent or the human capital you don’t have world class amenities and social infrastructure. So, it’s natural that the demand for residential infrastructure will grow.

The Seamless Connectivity

Another thing that is attracting investors from all parts of the world is the way Dholera City has been planned as a centre of Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), and is connected seamlessly from road, water and air. The six-lane Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway is ready and it will reduce the travel time from 140 minutes to just 45 minutes. The construction of Dholera International Airport is also in advanced stage. Once operationalized, it will ensure global connectivity for both passengers and cargo. Apart from road and airport, Dholera is also strategically located for trade through sea route. Dholera is in the proximity of a sea port. As you are aware, semiconductors need a robust supply chain process and fast export capability, the combination of the three support – road, air and water – makes Dholera an ideal place.

What Makes Dholera Special

Dholera is India’s first Greenfield Smart city, meaning everything is being created from scratch. Dholera has been master planned with proper zoning of residential, commercial and industrial areas, digital infrastructure, utility corridors and sustainable energy resources. And this is the reason why heavy industries like semiconductors and electronics are turning to Dholera Smart City. These industries need uninterrupted power and water supply, connectivity and also waste management. And only Dholera could have provided all of these at one place.

Investors Take Note

When there are so much developments taking place in Dholera, it is for the investors to keep a hawk eye to each and every detail. Things are happening fast with so much investments pouring. With people becoming aware about Dholera sir and its future potential, it will not take time when the prices will skyrocket and become unaffordable for small budget investors.
