Analog Devices, Tata Group signs pact to make semiconductors in India

Send Push
NEW DELHI: Analog Devices on Wednesday said that it has signed a pact with Tata Group to manufacture semiconductor products in India.

Tata Electronics will be investing a total of $14 billion to set up the country’s first semiconductor fabrication facility in Gujarat along with a chip-assembly and testing facility in the state of Assam. It received the government's nod to construct a semiconductor plant earlier this year.

The US chipmaker said that both the companies will explore opportunities for manufacturing ADI's products at Tata Electronics' facility in Gujarat and Assam.

As per the deal, Tata will also be using the chip maker's products in electric vehicles by Tata Motors and Tejas Networks' telecom infrastructure. However, they did not specify about the products that would be manufactured in India or used by Tata.

PM Narendra Modi has been advocating for India to compete with global semiconductor powerhouses such as Taiwan, with the goal of establishing India in the chipmaking sector despite initial setbacks.

Earlier this month, Maharashtra announced a $10 billion investment by Adani Group and Israel's Tower Semiconductor for a chip project. Infrastructure giant Larsen & Toubro's semiconductor unit, which designs chips for vehicles, also plans to eventually build a factory.

Additionally, global companies including NXP Semiconductors and Micron have announced plans to invest and establish facilities in the country.
