Chip maker Micron to invest $2.7 billion for plant in Gujarat

芯片制造商美光将投资27亿美元在古吉拉特邦建厂

American computer chip maker Micron on Thursday announced its plan to invest over $2.7 billion in an assembly and test plant in Gujarat. The announcement came hours after PM Narendra Modi’s meeting Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra in the US, where the latter expressed optimism on “greater opportunities” in India.

美国电脑芯片制造商美光周四宣布，计划在古吉拉特邦投资超过27亿美元，建立一家组装和测试工厂。印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪在美国会见美光首席执行官桑杰·梅赫罗特拉几小时后宣布了这一消息，后者对在印度的“更大机会”表示乐观。

The total cost of the upcoming plant — India’s first major semiconductor investment — comprises $825 million (around Rs 6,760 crore) from Micron and the rest from the government in two phases.

即将建立的工厂是印度首个主要的半导体投资，总成本包括美光公司8.25亿美元(约合6760亿卢比)，其余部分由政府分两个阶段提供。

“We are excited about the steps India is taking to develop the local semiconductor ecosystem,” Mehrotra said. He said Micron’s new assembly and test location in India will enable the company to expand its global manufacturing base and better serve customers in India and around the world.

“我们对印度正在采取的发展本土半导体生态系统的步骤感到兴奋，”梅赫罗特拉说道。他说，美光在印度的新组装和测试地点将使该公司能够扩大其全球制造基地，更好地为印度和世界各地的客户服务。

Micron’s plant has been approved under the government’s “Modified Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packaging (ATMP) Scheme”. Under the scheme, Micron will receive 50% fiscal support for the total project cost from the Indian government and incentives representing 20% of the total project cost from the state of Gujarat.

美光的工厂已获得政府“改进组装、测试、标记和包装(ATMP)计划”的批准。根据该计划，美光将从印度政府获得占项目总成本50%的财政支持，并从古吉拉特邦获得占项目总成本20%的激励。

“Phased construction of the new assembly and test facility in Gujarat is expected to begin in 2023. Phase 1, which will include 500,000 square feet of planned clean room space, will become operational in late 2024,” Micron said. Micron added that the plant will create up to 5,000 new direct jobs and 15,000 community jobs over the next several years. “Government support will help fund the project and facilitate access to essential semiconductor infrastructure and resources to drive innovation and enhance local talent development,” Micron said.

美光表示：“古吉拉特邦新组装和测试厂的分阶段建设预计将于2023年开始。第一阶段将包括50万平方英尺的规划洁净室空间，将于2024年底投入运营。”美光补充说，该工厂将在未来几年内创造多达5000个新的直接就业机会和15000个社区就业机会。美光表示：“政府的支持将有助于为该项目提供资金，并促进获得必要的半导体基础设施和资源，以推动创新，加强当地人才的发展。”

It will ramp capacity over time in line with global demand trends. The company said it expects Phase 2 of the project, which would include the construction of a facility similar in scale to Phase 1, to start towards the second half of the decade.

随着时间的推移，它将根据全球需求趋势提高产能。该公司表示，预计该项目的第二阶段（包括建设一个规模与第一阶段相似的设施）将在2025年后开始。

Pranav

Think why some states are developed and others are not. Its the states who have always refuted development and pushed businesses back. Hence there are few states that are getting all the investments. Its fault of the states and not centre. This is situation since decades so blame khangrees for this.

想想为什么有些邦发达而有些邦不发达。一些邦的政府一直反对发展，阻碍企业发展。因此，只有少数邦获得了所有的投资。这是各邦的错，不是中央的错。这是几十年来的情况，所以都怪国大党。
