Tata Electronics has entered into a strategic partnership with Japanese semiconductor ROHM to expand chip manufacturing capabilities in India. The collaboration is aimed at strengthening domestic production while serving global demand. The partnership will initially focus on power semiconductors for the automotive and EV sectors as India steps up efforts to establish itself as a reliable player in the semiconductor supply chain.

As part of the agreement, Tata Electronics will handle the assembly and testing of ROHM-designed automotive-grade silicon MOSFETs. These components, developed in India, are used in applications that require high efficiency and durability, particularly in electric mobility.

Mass production of the components is expected to begin next year. Beyond this first phase, the two companies plan to explore advanced semiconductor packaging technologies and coordinate market strategies for products developed through the collaboration.

Executives from both sides described the partnership as a step toward building a more resilient and localised semiconductor ecosystem. Manufacturing and testing chips within India is expected to reduce supply chain vulnerabilities while meeting rising domestic demand for power electronics.

The collaboration also aligns with Tata Electronics’ broader semiconductor ambitions. The company is developing India’s first commercial semiconductor fabrication facility in Dholera, Gujarat, along with an assembly and testing unit in Assam. These investments are intended to support a wide range of industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, artificial intelligence, defence, and aerospace.
