What is the story about?
US chipmaker Intel has signed an agreement with India’s Tata Group to manufacture and assemble semiconductors in the country, the conglomerate said on Monday, marking a significant step toward boosting domestic chip production and meeting rising local demand.
The partnership will explore opportunities to scale AI-enabled PC solutions for both consumers and enterprises in India, which is expected to become one of the world’s top five PC markets by 2030.
Tata Group said Intel and Tata will assess manufacturing and packaging of Intel products at Tata Electronics’ upcoming semiconductor fabrication facility in Dholera, Gujarat, and its outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) plant in Assam. The two sides also plan to collaborate on advanced packaging technologies in India.
Tata is building the facilities with a total investment of ₹1.18 trillion, forming a key part of India’s push to develop a domestic semiconductor ecosystem.
“We see this as a tremendous opportunity to collaborate with Tata to rapidly scale in one of the world’s fastest-growing compute markets, fuelled by rising PC demand and rapid AI adoption across India,” Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said.
The companies said the alliance will combine Intel’s AI compute reference designs with Tata Electronics’ electronics manufacturing capabilities and the Tata Group’s broad market reach in India.
“This strategic alliance will accelerate our efforts. Together, we will drive an expanded technology ecosystem and deliver leading semiconductors and systems solutions, positioning us well to capture the large and growing AI opportunity,” Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran said.
