In Jagiroad, Assam, a ₹27,000 crore semiconductor assembly and test facility is under construction on the site of a defunct paper mill. On Monday, chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma engaged with multiple industry leaders at the Assam Electronics Roundtable 2025 in New Delhi to propel Assam’s progress in semiconductors, ECMS, and the electronics sector.
