US memory chip maker Micron Technology Saturday initiated the construction of its semiconductor packaging plant in Gujarat, India’s first such facility which is expected to spur the country’s chip manufacturing ambitions.

Micron has selected Tata Projects to build the semiconductor assembly and test facility in Sanand town, near Ahmedabad, with both signing a formal agreement during Saturday’s groundbreaking ceremony. Micron also said it has begun the recruitment process for the new plant.
