Chhattisgarh Chips In: India’s First Ultra-Edge Semiconductor Plant Set to Revolutionize Tech!

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai inaugurated India's first semiconductor fabrication plant based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) at Nava Raipur on April 11, 2025. Developed by Polymatech Electronics Limited at a cost of ₹1,143 crore, the state-of-the-art plant will produce high-frequency GaN chips required for 5G and 6G.

 

Stretching across 3 lakh sq ft, the plant has the ambition of manufacturing 10 billion chips annually by 2030, creating thousands of direct jobs and lakhs of indirect jobs. The initiative aligns with India's Make in India and Digital India missions, weaning India off imports and boosting domestic innovation.

 

Polymatech also announced another ₹10,000 crore investment in Chhattisgarh with commercial production expected to begin by April-May 2026. This milestone places Chhattisgarh at the very top of India's semiconductor ecosystem.
