Gujarat To Create Residential Infrastructure For Tata Group’s Rs 91,000 Cr Semiconductor Project

Gandhinagar, Jun 16 (KNN) The Gujarat government is facilitating residential and infrastructure development to support Tata Group’s Rs 91,000 crore semiconductor fabrication facility in Dholera, Ahmedabad district—India’s first such venture. 

The project, located within the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR), is expected to generate over 20,000 skilled jobs, both direct and indirect.

As part of these efforts, construction is underway for 1,500 residential units intended for expatriates, Tata Group staff, and vendor personnel. 

According to Mona Khandhar, Principal Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, Gujarat, 275 apartments have already been made available, with around 250 occupied by Tata teams and allied ecosystem companies. 

An additional 225 units are nearing completion, while construction on 1,000 more units is in progress and expected to conclude by February–March 2026.

“These serviced accommodations offer one, two, and three-bedroom configurations and are situated near the fab site to house teams currently stationed in Dholera,” said Khandhar, as reported by The Economic Times.

While the Gujarat government is playing a key facilitative role, the housing developments themselves are not directly funded or built by the state. 

Instead, private developers are executing the projects on plots auctioned through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) set up by the government. 

These developments are separate from the residential units that Tata Group plans to build independently.

In its initial phase, Tata has been allotted 10 acres, with plans to construct 530 apartments by mid-2027. “As the anchor investor, the Tata Group is consulted regularly to ensure seamless coordination,” Khandhar added.
