"Tata Electronics, Tata Motors and Tejas Networks signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ADI to enhance strategic and business cooperation, explore opportunities for semiconductor manufacturing in India, and use ADI's products in Tata applications like electric vehicles and network infrastructure," the statement said.
Tata Electronics is building India’s first factory for making semiconductor wafers in Dholera.
Tata Electronics is building India’s first factory for making semiconductor wafers in Dholera. In a recent announcement, Tata Group and the global semiconductor company Analog Devices (ADI) revealed they are working together to explore semiconductor manufacturing in India. This partnership is important because the government is actively encouraging the growth of a strong electronics manufacturing industry in the country for both local use and international markets.
"Tata Electronics, Tata Motors and Tejas Networks signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ADI to enhance strategic and business cooperation, explore opportunities for semiconductor manufacturing in India, and use ADI's products in Tata applications like electric vehicles and network infrastructure," the statement said.
Last month, Tata Group laid the foundation for a semiconductor assembly and testing facility in Morigaon, Assam, which will cost INR 27,000 crore.
Tata Electronics is also establishing India’s first wafer fabrication unit in Dholera, Gujarat, which is expected to start operations by December 2026.
"Tata Electronics and ADI intend to explore opportunities to manufacture ADI's products in Tata Electronics' fab in Gujarat and OSAT in Assam," the statement said.
The partnership will also explore opportunities for engagement in electronics hardware components for energy storage solutions and power electronics in both commercial and passenger vehicle businesses, it said.
Tata Group firm Tejas Networks and Analog Devices will also consider opportunities for engagement in electronics hardware components for network infrastructure, it said.
"By combining our real-world semiconductor solutions and software expertise with Tata's vision and capabilities, we can accelerate the development of cutting-edge technologies, from electric vehicles to next-generation network infrastructure.
"Together, we are not only building a stronger semiconductor ecosystem but also shaping the future of global electronics manufacturing," Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair at ADI, said.
