The lead, August 2026
Dholera's fab was promised at 28nm. It now opens mostly at 90nm.
Bloomberg reported on 17 July 2026 that Tata Electronics will open its Rs 91,000 crore Dholera plant largely on the 90nm node rather than the 28nm announced in 2024, with commercial production in mid-2028. Tata says the plan always started at 55nm and 90nm. The Tata Sons chairman's own annual report says the company chose to start at 28nm. Both cannot describe the same plan.
The Node Question
Bloomberg reported in July 2026 that Tata's Dholera fab will open mostly on 90nm, not the 28nm promised in 2024.
The Foundation Redesign
Tata Electronics engaged geotechnical specialists Fugro, Cengrs and Geo Dynamics to redesign the Dholera fab foundations after soil testing showed the ground unsuitable.
What the Government's Own Monthly Report Says About Dholera
The NICDC/DPIIT Delivery Monitoring Unit report of 31 May 2026 is the most authoritative public status document on Dholera: 12 plots allotted, 436 acres of industrial land, Tata Chemicals as anchor investor, 48.
Gujarat's Semiconductor Incentives, Line by Line (Policy 2022-27)
What Gujarat actually offers a fab: 40% of central capital assistance stacked on top, 75% land subsidy on the first 200 acres in Dholera Semicon City, water at Rs 12 per cubic metre, power subsidy of Rs 2 per unit, and 50% capital subsidy for a desalination plant.
