ADI and Tata explore semiconductor production opportunities in India
The Indian government’s push to rival global semiconductor hubs advances with Tata and ADI’s new deal to explore chip production in Gujarat and Assam.
Analog Devices (ADI) has entered into an agreement with India’s Tata Group to explore semiconductor manufacturing opportunities in the country. Tata Electronics, the conglomerate’s electronics manufacturing division, is investing $14 billion to build India’s first semiconductor fabrication plant in Gujarat and a chip-assembly and testing facility in Assam.
The collaboration aims to produce ADI’s semiconductor products at Tata Electronics’ facilities, boosting India’s presence in the global semiconductor industry. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is pushing for the country to become a key player in semiconductor production, rivalling established hubs such as Taiwan.
As part of the deal, Tata will also integrate ADI’s semiconductor products into Tata Motors’ electric vehicles and Tejas Networks’ telecom infrastructure. However, neither company has disclosed specific details regarding the products that will be manufactured or utilised.
Several other global companies, including NXP Semiconductors and Micron, have also announced plans to invest in India’s growing semiconductor sector, further solidifying the nation’s ambitions in this critical technology area.
