Tata Electronics Signs 16 Global Agreements to Build India Semiconductor Supply Chain

The 16 agreements include named partners such as Nexperia and BESI from Europe; JSR, Fujifilm, Sumitomo, Sojitz and Inomoto from Japan; Callington of Malaysia; Ascendas Firstspace of Singapore; and India’s L&T Semiconductors, Inox Air Products, Semiconductor Laboratory and Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya.
Tata Electronics’ Dholera fab is being developed with Taiwanese technology partner PSMC, while more than 450 ecosystem partners have already been assembled at the Gujarat site across construction, equipment, chemicals and industrial materials.
CEO Randhir Thakur said India’s electronics sector had expanded from ₹2 lakh crore in 2014 to more than ₹13 lakh crore in 2026, arguing that the focus has shifted from whether India can make chips to how quickly and deeply it can build the ecosystem.
Thakur described chip manufacturing in terms of three core processes—deposition, printing and etching—and said government policy was helping by establishing the ecosystem’s foundations, enabling investment and reducing regulatory obstacles.
Tata Sons has injected ₹9,961 crore into Tata Electronics to date, highlighting the scale of parent-company funding behind the expansion and the pressure on the subsidiary to manage cash flow while constructing its semiconductor facilities.
Tata Electronics is locking in 16 supply-chain partnerships at SEMICON India 2026 to build out its two massive semiconductor factories in Gujarat and Assam. Electronics for You reported that the deals span equipment makers, chemical suppliers, packaging firms, and research institutions from Europe, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, India and the United States. The move signals Tata's shift from asking whether India can make chips to how fast it can build a full ecosystem around them.
Both greenfield plants remain on schedule. The Gujarat fabrication plant will require ₹91,526 crore and produce roughly 50,000 wafer starts per month, while the Assam packaging facility will cost ₹27,120 crore and handle 48 million units daily. CEO Randhir Thakur said the initiatives will create jobs and strengthen India's ability to compete in advanced technology, backed by government support and the Semiconductor 2.0 program.
