Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Tata Electronics Private Limited have entered into a manufacturing collaboration under which Tata Electronics will produce Qualcomm Automotive Modules in India.
Manufacturing is planned to commence at Tata Electronics’ upcoming semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam. The Jagiroad facility will focus on platform technologies including wire bond, flip chip, and Integrated Systems Packaging. It will manufacture products for applications across automotive, communications, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence sectors.
Tata Electronics will join Qualcomm Technologies’ global network of module manufacturing partners. The collaboration is aligned with the government’s “Make in India” initiative and is intended to support supply chain diversification and resilience for Indian and international automakers.
Under the agreement, Qualcomm Automotive Module products will be manufactured at Tata Electronics’ greenfield outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility in Assam. The facility is being built with an investment of USD 3 billion and is positioned as India’s first indigenous OSAT unit.
Qualcomm Automotive Modules integrate Snapdragon Digital Chassis system-on-chips with essential system components into a single production-ready module. The modules are designed for applications including digital cockpits, infotainment, connectivity, and intelligent vehicle systems, and are intended to simplify system design and accelerate development timelines for software-defined vehicles.
“Our work with Tata Electronics marks an important milestone in our automotive growth strategy. As the industry accelerates its shift toward integrated, module-based architectures, expanding manufacturing capacity in key regions becomes essential,” said Nakul Duggal, Executive Vice President and Group General Manager, Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT, and Robotics, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
“Manufacturing in India through Tata Electronics enhances our ability to support both Indian and global OEMs with greater flexibility and supply chain resilience,” said Savi Soin, Senior Vice President and President, Qualcomm India.
“We will leverage our Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP) solutions and deliver high quality, high-performance products to support Qualcomm Technologies’ global product leadership,” said Dr Randhir Thakur, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Tata Electronics.
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, operates the group’s engineering, research and development, and semiconductor product businesses. Tata Electronics Private Limited, established in 2020 as a greenfield venture of the Tata Group, operates across electronics manufacturing services, semiconductor assembly and test, semiconductor foundry, and design services, employing more than 92,000 people across multiple Indian states.
