Rajasthan's first semiconductor packaging facility and Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) were inaugurated in Bhiwadi on May 15, 2026. The project was developed by Sahasra Semiconductors Pvt. Ltd. and became India's first SME-led semiconductor unit to begin commercial chip production. Supported under the SPECS scheme, the facility received significant investments and aims to expand its annual packaging capacity from 60 million to 600 million units within three years. The cluster has also attracted major investments from multiple companies, creating thousands of employment opportunities and strengthening India’s domestic electronics and semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
