Micron’s global suppliers ready plans to co-locate, ask govt help

Suppliers of Micron Technology, the memory and storage chip manufacturer that announced plans to build a semiconductor packaging plant in India, have called for extended government support, as they prepare to create footprints near the new facility.

Last month, Micron announced plans to build a semiconductor assembly, testing, marking, and packaging (ATMP) plant in Gujarat under the government’s $10 billion production-linked incentive scheme (PLI).

Global chip majors have been cautious in participating in the scheme due to the absence of local supply chains for chip manufacturing in India, which requires hundreds of raw materials.
