Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has met Micron Technology CEO and President Sanjay Mehrotra in the US and discussed business opportunities in the growing semiconductor sector in India. The minister is in San Francisco for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) meeting.
US-based semiconductor company Micron is setting up India's first chip facility in Gujarat, which will create 5,000 direct and 15,000 indirect jobs in the coming years.
In June, the government cleared Micron's project to set up a semiconductor test and packaging unit worth USD 2.7 billion in the country.
