A major step toward building a strong domestic semiconductor and electronics supply chain was announced as Tata Group and Intel Corporation entered into a strategic alliance to explore collaboration in hardware enablement, semiconductor manufacturing, and systems production in India.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding, both companies will explore the manufacturing and packaging of Intel products at Tata Electronics upcoming semiconductor fabrication and OSAT facilities. The partnership will also look at opportunities for advanced packaging in India, aimed at supporting local market needs and strengthening a geo resilient supply chain for electronics and semiconductors.
The alliance also focuses on scaling tailored AI PC solutions for both consumer and enterprise markets in India. The country is projected to become one of the world’s top five markets for computing by 2030. This effort will combine Intel’s AI compute reference designs, Tata Electronics strong electronics manufacturing services capabilities, and the broad market access of Tata Group companies.
N Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, said, “The Tata Group is deeply committed to developing a robust semiconductor industry in India. We are excited to collaborate with Intel, and this strategic alliance would accelerate our efforts. Together, we will drive an expanded technology ecosystem and deliver leading semiconductors and systems solutions, positioning us well to capture the large and growing AI opportunity.”
Lip Bu Tan, Chief Executive Officer of Intel Corporation, said, “Intel’s technology has driven decades of advancement in computing, and as we continue to innovate, our ambition is to broaden our reach, accelerate growth, and deliver even greater value to our customers. We see this as a tremendous opportunity to collaborate with Tata to rapidly scale in one of the world’s fastest growing computer markets, fuelled by rising PC demand and rapid AI adoption across India.”
Dr Randhir Thakur, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Tata Electronics, said, “This MoU aligns with Tata Electronics’ roadmap across EMS, OSAT, and Semiconductor Fab, enabling a reliable and resilient supply chain for our customers. This collaboration would drive cost competitiveness, faster time to market, greater operational agility, and enable Intel products to capture the surging demand for next generation AI compute in India.”
