Madhya Pradesh Gets New OSAT Facility

Madhya Pradesh Gets New OSAT Facility

On 22 July 2026 Paras Semiconductors (subsidiary of Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd) signed an MoU with the Madhya Pradesh State Electronics Development Corporation to set up a greenfield OSAT facility in the Indore‑Ujjain region.

Project snapshot

  • Investment: Proposed ₹6,200 crore (about USD 644 million).
  • Location: Indore‑Ujjain industrial region, Madhya Pradesh.
  • Employment: Expected more than 2,500 direct jobs.
  • Prominence: Greenfield Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility focused on advanced packaging.

OSAT and advanced packaging

  • OSAT defined: Back‑end segment covering assembly, packaging and testing of semiconductor dies.
  • 2.5D integration: Uses an interposer to place multiple dies side‑by‑side with high‑density interconnects.
  • 3D integration: Vertical stacking of dies with through‑silicon vias for reduced footprint and latency.
  • Hybrid bonding & fan‑out: Hybrid bonding enables face‑to‑face die joins; fan‑out increases I/O density without large substrates.
  • Other processes: Chiplet integration, wafer bumping and flip‑chip assembly.

Applications & ecosystem linkages

  • Target devices: Sensor devices, optical/optronic systems and prospective AI accelerators.
  • Supply chain: OSAT units form the back‑end layer distinct from wafer fabrication (front‑end).

IASPOINT Booster Facts

  • India Semiconductor Mission: Government programme to promote semiconductor and display manufacturing in India.
  • Packaging role: Advanced packaging enables heterogeneous integration and improved power‑performance‑area metrics.
