The Bihar semiconductor factory plan has taken a major step forward as the state government prepares to conduct surveys in 14 districts located along riverbanks. The survey will help identify suitable land for setting up a large semiconductor manufacturing unit in Bihar.
Under the Bihar semiconductor factory plan, officials will study districts located near the Ganga and other rivers. These areas offer easy access to water and power, both of which are critical for chip manufacturing. The districts included in the survey are Patna, Bhojpur, Buxar, Saran, Vaishali, Samastipur, Begusarai, Munger, Lakhisarai, Bhagalpur, Katihar, Khagaria, Saharsa, and Supaul.
The state’s Industry Department will carry out the survey and prepare a detailed report. Based on the findings, Bihar will send a proposal to the central government for approval. The state has already announced a new industrial policy to attract high-tech investments.
Officials say the project could turn Bihar into a key hub for semiconductor, electronics, and AI-based manufacturing. The factory is also expected to generate employment and encourage infrastructure development in riverbank regions.
If approved, the project will mark a significant milestone in Bihar’s industrial growth and technology push.
