State to focus on building social infra around semicon units: Gujarat CM

With four out of the five semiconductor plants being set up in India being constructed at Dholera in Gujarat, the state will now focus on building social infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, cafeteria, food courts, and other such buildings around industrial areas, Chief Minister Bhupen Patel said on Wednesday.

Speaking at the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) Vision Summit 2025 here, Patel said it was due to the state’s lead in announcing an electronics and semiconductor manufacturing policy that four out of the five semiconductor plants being set up in India were being constructed at Dholera.
