At Cabinet Sub-Committee meeting chaired by Hon’ble CM Shri Siddaramaiah, three pioneering semiconductor projects were approved, signalling a massive boost to our tech ecosystem.
🔹 Applied Materials India will set up India’s first-of-its-kind R&D Fab—Innovation Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing (ICSM)—in Bengaluru. Spread across 10 acres with ₹4,851 Cr investment, it will create ~1,500 jobs and become a collaborative platform for next-gen chip and display innovations.
🔹 Lam Research will set up two units in Karnataka: an advanced R&D lab with an investment of ₹6,790 Cr, and a semiconductor silicon component manufacturing facility with and investment of ₹9,111 Cr, creating ~1400 jobs, delivering cutting-edge capabilities in 2nm technology and silicon ingot production.
🔹 Bharat Semi Systems will establish an integrated design manufacturing semiconductor unit including both a design + Fab facility in Mysuru with ₹2,342 Cr investment. It will focus on compound semiconductors like thermal detectors, silicon carbide and gallium nitride—critical for defence, telecom and climate resilience creating 620+ jobs.
Together, these investments mark a decisive step toward making Karnataka a semiconductor powerhouse of the future.
