Major semiconductor plants of this scale worldwide generally take about 5–7 years just to start amortizing their capital and salary costs, depending on their production ramp, yield, and demand—the same is anticipated for Tata, meaning real payback and profitability likely only by 2031 or later (so, not fully amortized within X years from investment). For context, Powerchip, Tata's Taiwanese partner, currently has annual revenues around NT$45 billion (~$1.4 billion USD), but also faced net losses in 2024; other cutting-edge fabs (like TSMC) often reach several billion USD annual turnover within a few years, but those are much larger, older and operate at higher technology nodes. India’s fab will initially replace imports rather than topple global giants; import value in FY2023-24 was ₹1.71 lakh crore (~$18.4 billion USD). So, in USD, most modern fabs with similar outlay are not fully amortized within X years—they typically still carry significant capital costs and require high volume, strong ramp-up, and favorable markets to hit breakeven past that period, especially when starting from scratch.
