Tata and Analog Devices form alliance to boost India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem
Tata and semiconductor firm Analog Devices have partnered to drive the growth of India's electronics manufacturing ecosystem

In big news for the growth of Indian manufacturing, Tata Group has partnered with semiconductor manufacturer Analog Devices (ADI).

Uniting the strengths of Tata, an Indian multinational conglomerate and ADI, a pioneer in semiconductors from the USA, this partnership is focused on bolstering strategic and commercial collaboration.

It will boost semiconductor manufacturing within India by integrating ADI’s high-tech semiconductor solutions into Tata’s diverse applications like electric vehicles and network infrastructure components.

This partnership arrives amid a surge in demand for semiconductors, fuelled by advancements in artificial intelligence, 5G connectivity and the Internet of Things.

Notably, other semiconductor giants like Micron Technology, CG Power and Qualcomm are also stepping up their investments and focus on India.

This collaborative effort, memorialised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), seeks to capitalise on this industry growth while strengthening India's domestic capabilities.

Central to this partnership is Tata Electronics’ monumental US$11bn investment in a pioneering semiconductor fabrication plant in Gujarat.

This endeavour is supplemented by a substantial US$3bn investment in an assembly and testing facility in Assam, signalling a significant move towards diminishing India’s reliance on imported semiconductors.

This investment in Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facilities aims to create a holistic semiconductor ecosystem in India, potentially catapulting the nation into a central role in the global semiconductor supply chain.

The collaboration spans multiple industries where semiconductors are key.

Tata Motors, Tata’s automobile division, is looking to leverage ADI’s expertise in electronics hardware components for energy storage and power electronics solutions in both commercial and passenger vehicles, potentially accelerating India's journey towards electric and autonomous vehicle technologies.

Similarly, Tejas Networks, part of the Tata Group focusing on telecommunications equipment, aims to work with ADI to enhance network infrastructure components, potentially advancing 5G and future telecommunication technologies in India.

Revolutionising India’s Tech Ecosystem

"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," says Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair at ADI.

"As one of the fastest-growing technology markets globally, India’s digital economy is booming. The nation’s ascent as an IT outsourcing hub has fostered the emergence of Indian-based multinational tech enterprises like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro."

The Tata-ADI alliance is poised to significantly bolster India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem, serving both local and international markets and solidifying the nation’s position in the global semiconductor arena—essential for sectors ranging from automotive to consumer electronics, and telecommunications.

Supported by the “Make in India” initiative, this partnership not only aims to amplify domestic manufacturing across various domains but also promises the creation of numerous high-skilled jobs, attracting further global investments in India’s semiconductor sector.

"Together, we are not only building a stronger semiconductor ecosystem but also shaping the future of global electronics manufacturing," says Roche. “This collaboration has the potential to position India as a key player in the semiconductor industry, contributing to technological advancements on a global scale."
