India should build a new city/region `silicon bhawan` to build these facilities in. Then limit all non-factory and worker residential development in the area to keep the infra freed up to support it.
Build a massive factory in the outskirts of a city and you've now got a factory inside the hustle and bustle (and logistical challenges) of a factory in the middle of a city.

That's how it's already done, and has been done since 2014.
Most Indian states have dedicated manufacturing clusters and SEZs dedicated to specific industries ranging from the megaclusters like NOIDA and Hosur to smaller ones like Kashipur IIE in Uttarakhand or Baddi SEZ for generic pharma.
The OSAT that is being considered is part of an electronics+automotive SEZ that Micron, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, and Tata are members of (Sanand SEZ).
Most manufacturing in India has shifted to Tier 2/3/4 towns because of land availability and single-window policies, and in my opinion this is a better strategy as it helps build out regional economies.
