AMARAVATI, October 22 — The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, along with the Government of Andhra Pradesh, has accorded formal administrative approval for establishing a state-of-the-art ₹3,400-crore Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility at the Kopparthy Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC-II) in YSR Kadapa district.
Under the notified incentives framework: 1. Fiscal Architecture: Blends 50% capital expenditure support from the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) with an additional 20% state capital subsidy under the AP Electronics and Semiconductor Policy 2024–2029. 2. Technological Capability: Focuses on advanced 3D wafer packaging, micro-ball grid arrays, and automated testing for power management ICs, automotive microcontrollers, and 5G telecommunication RF modules. 3. Regional Economic Development: Projected to generate over 12,000 direct and allied engineering jobs across the Rayalaseema hinterland, anchoring upstream supply-chain vendors. 4. Infrastructure Allocation: Dedicated 150-acre industrial parcel with assured 33 kV uninterrupted power and ultra-pure industrial water lines managed by APIIC.
The operational tiers of the India Semiconductor Mission (Fab, ATMP/OSAT, and Design-Linked Incentive - DLI schemes), global supply chain resilience, and industrial dispersal across Andhra Pradesh form essential preparation topics for APPSC Group-1 and Group-2 candidates.
