India Enters Global Semiconductor Market with Micron Gujarat Plant; US Ambassador Gor Attends

• India formally entered the international semiconductor manufacturing market with the inauguration of Micron’s facility in Sanand, Gujarat.
• US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the opening of the assembly, test, marking, and packaging (ATMP) plant.
• The Micron facility represents a fusion of American technology leadership and Indian manufacturing excellence, built on trust between the two democracies.
• The US-led Pax Silica initiative, launched in December 2025, aims to ensure "trusted" countries control the 21st-century technology stack, reducing reliance on rivals.
• India joined Pax Silica in February, alongside Japan, South Korea, the UK, and Australia, to construct a resilient "silicon curtain" for sensitive technologies.
