Tata Electronics and Bosch have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen India’s semiconductor and electronics manufacturing capabilities. The collaboration will focus on advanced chip packaging and wafer manufacturing at Tata’s upcoming facilities in Assam and Gujarat. In addition, the agreement includes plans to jointly explore local projects in Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS), particularly for automotive electronics.
This strategic partnership aims to address the increasing demand for sophisticated semiconductor components in mobility and industrial applications. For Bosch, a global leader in mobility technologies, the alliance provides a channel to strengthen electronics sourcing through Indian manufacturing. For Tata Electronics, it aligns with its broader ambition to create a comprehensive semiconductor ecosystem in India.
Driving India’s leadership in chip production
Tata Electronics is already building a wafer foundry in Dholera, Gujarat, in partnership with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC), Himax Technologies, Synopsys, and Tokyo Electron. The firm also made headlines recently by initiating chip exports—an important signal of India’s growing manufacturing self-sufficiency in semiconductors.

Beyond production infrastructure, Tata Electronics is investing in experienced leadership. KC Ang, a seasoned expert in semiconductor operations, has been appointed to head the company’s chip initiatives. His appointment is expected to bring operational depth and global perspective to India’s growing chip sector.
Strengthening India’s chip supply chain
This latest MoU further strengthens the momentum built through Tata’s prior alliances, including earlier partnerships with Synopsys and Tesla. The initiative supports India’s long-term goal of reducing reliance on imported chips while developing global competitiveness in advanced electronics.
Bosch and Tata’s joint plans are expected to generate new value in India’s EMS sector, with localisation of vehicle electronics playing a key role. As the demand for semiconductors continues to surge, this partnership is well-positioned to help India emerge as a reliable, high-quality hub for chip design, packaging, and production.
