- DSicSem Pvt. Ltd. : Odisha
Explanation
The correct answer is C because the semiconductor plant set up by the HCL-Foxconn joint venture (India Chip Pvt. Ltd.) is located in Uttar Pradesh, not Madhya Pradesh,.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the options:
- Option C (Incorrect Match): The HCL Group and Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) secured Union Cabinet approval to establish an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) region near Jewar, Uttar Pradesh (Greater Noida),. This ₹3,700 crore joint venture operates as India Chip Pvt. Ltd. and will manufacture display driver integrated circuits (ICs) for consumer electronics,. It is the state's first unit under the India Semiconductor Mission and has no operations in Madhya Pradesh.
- Option A (Correct Match): CG Power and Industrial Solutions Ltd., in partnership with Japan's Renesas Electronics and Thailand's Stars Microelectronics, is establishing a ₹7,600 crore OSAT facility in Sanand, Gujarat,.
- Option B (Correct Match): Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt. Ltd. (TSAT) is building India's first indigenous greenfield semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Morigaon district, Assam,. This is a landmark ₹27,000 crore investment supported by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM),.
- Option D (Correct Match): SicSem Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Archean Chemical Industries, is setting up an advanced compound semiconductor (Silicon Carbide) Integrated Device Manufacturing (IDM) facility at Info Valley in Bhubaneswar, Odisha,.
