Nagase and Nippon Express Support Semiconductor Supply Chain Growth in Dholera Smart City

India’s ambition to build a strong domestic semiconductor ecosystem is steadily taking shape under the India Semiconductor Mission, and Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) is emerging as one of its most important growth centers. Designed as a future-ready industrial city, Dholera is becoming a focal point for semiconductor manufacturing in India and advanced electronics production.

The electronics and semiconductor manufacturing industry in India is moving beyond assembly and testing toward high-value fabrication and supply chain integration. Dholera’s planned infrastructure, policy support, and ecosystem-driven approach are helping accelerate this shift.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Gains Momentum in Dholera

A major driver of this transformation is the upcoming Tata semiconductor fab, being developed by Tata Electronics. The Tata Electronics semiconductor project is expected to play a key role in strengthening the India semiconductor industry and reducing dependence on imports.

Dholera’s selection as the location for this fab highlights the importance of planned industrial zones that can support complex manufacturing requirements, including uninterrupted power, large land parcels, and logistics connectivity.

Infrastructure Supporting Industrial Growth

Dholera’s growth is closely linked to its integrated infrastructure, which has been designed to support long-term industrial development in India. Several connectivity and utility projects are improving its attractiveness for global manufacturers:

• Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway, enabling faster movement of goods and workforce
• The upcoming Dholera International Airport is expected to support cargo and executive travel
• Smart utilities and digital planning under the Dholera smart city project
• Region-wide development under the Dholera SIR smart city framework

These developments are laying the foundation for sustained industrial growth in India, particularly in capital-intensive sectors like semiconductors.

Clean Energy Advantage from Dholera Solar Park

One of Dholera’s key strengths is its access to reliable and sustainable energy. The Dholera Solar Park, among the largest planned solar projects in the country, is expected to provide clean power to industries operating in the region.

For semiconductor manufacturing, which is highly energy-intensive, stable and green power supply is a long-term advantage. This supports global sustainability goals while improving operational reliability for manufacturers.

Growing Ecosystem and Upcoming Projects in Dholera Smart City

Beyond semiconductor fabs, Dholera is witnessing a steady rise in upcoming projects in Dholera across multiple sectors. These include electronics manufacturing units, logistics hubs, and supplier industries that support large manufacturing operations.

This ecosystem approach ensures that semiconductor facilities are supported by nearby suppliers, services, and infrastructure, reducing operational risks and improving efficiency. Such planning strengthens global supply chain integration, a key requirement for competitive semiconductor manufacturing.

Dholera’s Role in India’s Semiconductor Future

The success of the India Semiconductor Mission depends on more than just individual factories. It requires well-planned industrial regions where infrastructure, energy, logistics, and policy alignment come together. Dholera SIR is gradually demonstrating how this model can work at scale.

As the electronics and semiconductor manufacturing industry in India continues to expand, Dholera’s role is expected to grow further. Its combination of connectivity, clean energy, and integrated planning positions it as a long-term contributor to India’s semiconductor and advanced manufacturing ambitions.
