Speaking at the inauguration of Micron's new semiconductor facility in Gujarat, Gor said, "Today marks India's entry into the global semiconductor supply chain as a manufacturing nation. This is just the beginning. With 10 semiconductor projects worth $19 billion underway across India, that is a direct testament to your Prime Minister's leadership, to his vision, and to his ability to secure the future for India and for our global partners, including the United States."
"Gujarat's leadership is incentivising semiconductor projects. From Sanand to Dholera, it sets an example for your entire country... We are beyond proud of Micron being here, and in just the last few years, they have achieved incredible results. The United States stands ready to participate in this growth. American companies are watching closely, and many are eager to explore opportunities to do business in Gujarat. President Trump cares deeply about our relationship. The next three years of our administration enable our two nations to tap into the limitless potential that exists," he said.
He added, "This facility represents the future. It represents American technology leadership working hand in hand with Indian manufacturing excellence. It represents supply chain resilience, built on trust between our two great democracies. The chips packaged in this facility will power devices around the world. More importantly, the partnership this facility represents will power our shared prosperity and security for generations to come."
