Robust partnerships across the semiconductor supply chain are often the strongest defence against disruption. In recent years, Tata Electronics has been building a global web of technology alliances, spanning customer relationships, technology, materials, equipment, and manufacturing. Each collaboration is a step towards creating a robust, resilient semiconductor ecosystem in India that’s built for the world.
Here’s a look at the journey:
June 2024 | Enabling design for India’s first fab
Synopsys × Tata Electronics
In 2024, Tata Electronics partnered with the US-based Synopsys to accelerate process‑technology bring‑up (where a newly developed manufacturing process is tested, stabilised, and made production‑ready) and foundry design enablement for India’s first greenfield, commercial semiconductor Fab being built by Tata Electronics in Dholera, Gujarat. The collaboration spans AI‑enabled factory automation, yield analytics, development of Process Design Kits, IP creation and Design Technology Co-optimisation methodologies, ensuring customers can design, validate and ramp products with confidence from day one.
September 2024 | Semiconductor manufacturing equipment, training and readines
Tokyo Electron × Tata Electronics
With Tokyo Electron, Tata Electronics established a strategic equipment partnership that’s focused on semiconductor equipment infrastructure, workforce training and readiness, and R&D for both the Dholera Fab and the upcoming semiconductor assembly & test facility in Jagiroad, Assam.
ASMPT Singapore × Tata Electronics
Tata Electronics took a step towards cultivating the talent and infrastructure required for the semiconductor facilities with ASMPT Singapore. The partnership emphasises semiconductor assembly equipment infrastructure and solutions, workforce training, automation, R&D in key technology areas, and energy and material efficiency — all crucial enablers of globally benchmarked semiconductor manufacturing.
September 2024 | Connecting silicon to applications
Analog Devices × Tata Group
Tata Electronics, Tata Motors and Tejas Networks joined hands with Analog Devices (ADI) to explore semiconductor manufacturing in India and deepen integration of ADI’s technologies across EVs and network infrastructure.
September 2024 | World-class technology partnership
Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) × Tata Electronics
Tata Electronics signed a Build, License, Transfer agreement with PSMC for the foundry technology for its upcoming Fab in Dholera, Gujarat. Under the partnership, PSMC is providing design and construction support to build the Fab, licensing a broad portfolio of technologies, providing engineering support to successfully transfer licensed technologies to the plant, helping to train a seed engineering team from Tata Electronics at their own Fab in Taiwan, as well as sharing next-generation Fab automation and AI capabilities.
March 2025 | Reimagining display and AI sensing
Himax × PSMC × Tata Electronics
The three‑way partnership between Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Himax Technologies and Tata Electronics seeks to revolutionise India’s display and ultralow power AI sensing product and technology ecosystem. With design, fabrication, packaging and EMS integrated across partners, the collaboration will deliver end‑to‑end, Made‑in‑India display semiconductor solutions for domestic and global markets.
June 2025 | Self‑sufficiency meets national security
Bharat Electronics × Tata Electronics
In alignment with India’s national security and self‑sufficiency goals, Tata Electronics and Bharat Electronics, a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, partnered to explore indigenous semiconductor solutions for defence and strategic electronics, including Microcontrollers, Systems-on-Chip, Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits, and other Processors.
July 2025 | Automotive‑grade collaboration
Bosch × Tata Electronics
Tata Electronics partnered with Robert Bosch GmbH to collaborate on advanced automotive electronics. The collaboration spans chip packaging and manufacturing, while exploring EMS opportunities for next‑generation vehicle electronics.
September 2025 | Materials, safety
Merck × Tata Electronics
One of the first such collaborations between a global materials solutions provider and an Indian semiconductor manufacturer, Merck and Tata Electronics are working together on semiconductor materials, sub‑fab systems, specialty chemical and gas distribution, safety and manufacturing excellence.
C‑DAC × Tata Electronics
Tata Electronics signed an MoU with Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to advance indigenous semiconductor design and IP, and enable integrated chip manufacturing solutions tailored for startups, MSMEs, and academia, strengthening the foundation for India’s long‑term technological sovereignty.
December 2025 | Advancing strategic manufacturing alliances
Intel × Tata Electronics
One of the year’s most significant alliances, the Intel–Tata collaboration will explore manufacturing and packaging of Intel products for local markets at Tata Electronics’ Fab and OSAT facilities, collaborate on advanced packaging in India, and explore the rapid scaling of customised AI PC solutions for consumer and enterprise markets.
ROHM × Tata Electronics
Rounding off 2025, Tata Electronics partnered with Japan’s ROHM to enable domestic manufacturing of semiconductor products for Indian as well as global markets. As a first step, the two companies will establish a manufacturing framework for power semiconductors in India by combining ROHM’s device technologies with Tata Electronics’ semiconductor assembly and test capabilities.
February 2026 | Enabling next‑gen vehicles
Qualcomm × Tata Electronics
Tata Electronics entered into a collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies to manufacture their advanced automotive modules in India. Using its Integrated Systems Packaging platform, Tata Electronics will deliver high‑performance, high‑reliability products — strengthening India’s position as a trusted hub for global automotive and semiconductor customers.
Bridging the talent gap
Tata Electronics is collaborating with government and academic institutions to offer diplomas, certification programmes, and workshops aimed at bridging the skill gap in the semiconductor sector. These include an MoU with the National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT) to establish Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packaging‑focused training programmes and a dedicated skill centre; a two‑year Executive MBA in Manufacturing Management with IIM Mumbai; an exclusive BSc in Manufacturing Science with Bharathiar University; a BTech in Manufacturing Engineering with Vellore Institute of Technology, and a 2-year M.Tech in VLSI programme with scholarships in partnership with SASTRA Deemed University. Other collaborations with IIT Gandhinagar, and IISc Bengaluru further support the creation of a steady pipeline of semiconductor‑ready engineers across VLSI, materials, electronics, and systems engineering.
