New Delhi: In a significant move towards strengthening India’s semiconductor ecosystem, Tata Group and global semiconductor firm Analog Devices (ADI) have joined forces to explore opportunities for semiconductor manufacturing in India. This strategic partnership comes at a time when the Indian government is actively promoting the development of a robust electronics manufacturing infrastructure, aiming to position India as a key player in the global market.
According to a joint statement issued on Wednesday, Tata Electronics, Tata Motors, and Tejas Networks have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ADI. The collaboration aims to enhance strategic and business cooperation, focusing on semiconductor manufacturing, and leveraging ADI’s products in Tata’s electric vehicle and network infrastructure applications.
This partnership follows Tata Group’s recent investment in the Indian semiconductor industry, including the foundation of a Rs 27,000 crore semiconductor assembly and test facility in Morigaon, Assam. Tata Electronics is also setting up the country’s first wafer fabrication unit in Dholera, Gujarat, which is slated to be operational by December 2026.
“Tata Electronics and ADI are exploring opportunities to manufacture ADI’s semiconductor products at Tata’s upcoming fab in Gujarat and its assembly and test facility in Assam,” the statement added. This venture represents a step towards building India’s semiconductor capabilities and contributing to the global supply chain.
The partnership will also explore collaboration opportunities in the development of electronics hardware components for energy storage and power electronics, particularly for Tata Motors’ commercial and passenger vehicles. Additionally, Tata Group firm Tejas Networks and Analog Devices are considering working together on electronics hardware for network infrastructure.
Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair of Analog Devices, expressed optimism about the partnership, stating, “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.”
This partnership between Tata Group and ADI marks a critical milestone in India’s efforts to establish itself as a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing and electronics innovation.
