Odisha Enters Semiconductor Era: Rs 2000 Crore 3D Glass Solution Project

Bhubaneswar:19/4/26; Odisha has taken a significant step forward in its journey toward becoming a technology and semiconductor hub. In a landmark development, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw jointly laid the foundation stone for the advanced 3D Glass Solution semiconductor project in Info Valley, Bhubaneswar.

This project signals the beginning of a new era of industrial and technological growth in the state, strengthening Odisha’s position in India’s semiconductor ecosystem.

The upcoming facility, being developed with an investment of approximately ₹2,000 crore, is expected to create around 2,500 employment opportunities. The unit will focus on advanced glass substrate packaging technology, considered a crucial innovation for the future of semiconductor manufacturing.

Once operational, the plant will produce:

• 70,000 glass panels annually
• 50 million assembled units
• 13,200 advanced 3DHI modules

This large-scale production capacity is set to boost both employment and high-tech manufacturing in Odisha.

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted that glass substrate packaging technology represents the future of the semiconductor industry. He praised the Odisha government’s commitment to industrial growth and job creation, noting that the state is entering a transformative phase of development.

The project is particularly significant as it introduces India’s first advanced 3D glass substrate packaging facility, positioning Odisha at the forefront of next-generation semiconductor innovation.

The Chief Minister noted that global technology leaders such as Intel, Lockheed Martin, and Applied Materials are associated with the project.

These collaborations reflect growing global confidence in Odisha as an emerging destination for high-tech investments and advanced manufacturing.

Highlighting the state’s strengths, the Chief Minister emphasized five key factors that make Odisha attractive for investors:

• Abundant natural resources
• World-class infrastructure
• Skilled youth workforce
• Strong connectivity
• Responsive governance

With over ₹10,000 crore already invested in the semiconductor sector, Odisha is rapidly positioning itself as a preferred investment destination in eastern India.

The Chief Minister described the project as a defining moment not just for Odisha, but for India’s technological leadership. The facility is expected to contribute significantly to sectors such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and defense electronics.

Calling upon the youth, he encouraged students and engineers to build careers in emerging technologies, stating: “If you want to shape the future of technology, Odisha is your destination.”

Aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, Odisha aims to become a launchpad for technological self-reliance in eastern India.

With strong policy support, rising investments, and cutting-edge projects like this, the state is set to play a crucial role in India’s semiconductor and electronics manufacturing future.
