Maharashtra government allots 100 acres to leading semiconductor player RRP Electronics Ltd

RRP Electronics, a leading-edge powerhouse in semiconductors and backed by cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, has secured 100 acres in Navi Mumbai as Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis presented the Letter of Comfort for relocating a semiconductor fab from one of the world’s most established semiconductor companies in Sherman, Texas. 

Lauding the development, the Chief Minister said: “This allotment of land firmly positions Maharashtra at the heart of India’s Semiconductor Mission roadmap. Our government is fully committed to extending all necessary support, be it in infrastructure, policy facilitation or skill development, to ensure the success of this initiative."

"The establishment of such a facility will not only accelerate industrial growth but also create significant employment opportunities, strengthen local supply chains, and reinforce Maharashtra’s leadership as a hub for high-technology manufacturing in India," the CM added. 

Rajendra Chodankar, Chairman of RRP Electronics Ltd, said, “We are thankful to the Government of Maharashtra and the Honourable Chief Minister and his team for the continued encouragement and support towards enabling Maharashtra in taking pioneering initiatives for the semiconductor ecosystem. This acquisition is a landmark step in our journey to make India self-reliant in semiconductors.”

A year into the launch of Maharashtra's first OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) semiconductor manufacturing facility in Navi Mumbai, this marks a significant leap in RRP's growth journey as one of the region’s largest and most advanced fab facilities with a capacity to produce 1.25 lakh wafers per month. Together, these steps place Maharashtra and India at the forefront of the global semiconductor value chain.
