Make Uttarakhand the semiconductor manufacturing and data centre hub for North India
“The BJP Government shall leverage the climatic suitability of Uttarakhand and the central government’s PLI scheme to transform it into the Semiconductor Manufacturing and Data Centre Hub for North India.”
The verdict
By Aug 2025 the India Semiconductor Mission had approved 10 projects in six states, none in Uttarakhand. An electronics manufacturing cluster at Kashipur (Rs 115 crore) is related but is not semiconductor manufacturing.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
“The chip hub is still at the design stage.”
