Assam's Electronic City Will Be Named After Ratan Tata: Himanta Sarma

Ratan Tata | The upcoming Electronic City in Jagi road, which will host India's first semiconductor plant, will be named after industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Tuesday. The decision, taken during a Cabinet meeting, is to honour Mr Tata, who died on October 9, 2024, the Chief Minister said. According to Mr Sarma, Mr Tata's decision to set up the semiconductor plant in Assam has been a game changer. "In recognition to the contribution of the Tata group and late Ratan Rata, the state cabinet has decided to name the entire area covering the semiconductor plant, electronic park, and proposed Electronic City township as Ratan Tata Electronic City. If Ratan Tata would not have taken the bold decision to set up a semiconductor plant here, we would not have seen so much interest and response from other top industrialists towards investments in Assam," Mr Sarma said.
