In May 2026, the Cabinet approved two more semiconductor manufacturing units in Gujarat with cumulative investment of over ₹3,900 crore — and among them is CML’s integrated compound semiconductor fab/ATMP at Dholera. Compound semiconductors (SiC, GaN and similar materials) serve power electronics, EVs, 5G and industrial applications — markets the silicon fab does not cover alone.
Why it matters to Dholera
Why it matters to Dholera: a second, differentiated semiconductor technology at the site widens the cluster beyond the Tata silicon fab — compound semiconductors + ATMP packaging give Dholera a fuller semiconductor value chain, and reinforce the Gujarat government’s multi-unit semiconductor strategy.
Verification note: the Cabinet decision is verified via multiple outlet reports; CML’s exact Dholera footprint (acres, location within the SIR) should be pinned when site documents appear.
