Tata Group and Intel Corporation have announced a new strategic alliance to focus on consumer & enterprise hardware enablement, semiconductor & stem manufacturing and system productions.
The agreement aims to support the growth of India’s domestic electronics and semiconductor ecosystem and strengthen the country’s geo-resilient supply chain
Under a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), both companies will assess opportunities for manufacturing and packaging Intel products for the Indian market at Tata Electronics’ upcoming semiconductor fabrication and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facilities. The two companies will also explore collaboration in advanced packaging technologies in India.
Another area of focus will be joint efforts to scale AI-enabled PC solutions for consumer and enterprise customers in India. The initiative will draw on Intel’s AI compute reference designs, Tata Electronics’ electronics manufacturing services capabilities, and access to the domestic market through Tata Group companies.
N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, said, “The Tata Group is deeply committed to developing a robust semiconductor industry in India. We are excited to collaborate with Intel, and this strategic alliance would 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.”
Lip-Bu Tan, CEO, Intel Corporation, said, “Intel’s technology has driven decades of advancement in computing, and as we continue to innovate, our ambition is to broaden our reach, accelerate growth, and deliver even greater value to our customers. 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.”
Dr Randhir Thakur, CEO & Managing Director, Tata Electronics, said, “This MoU aligns with Tata Electronics’ roadmap across EMS, OSAT, and Semiconductor Fab, enabling a reliable and resilient supply chain for our customers. This collaboration would drive cost competitiveness, faster time-to-market, greater operational agility, and enable Intel products to capture the surging demand for next-generation AI compute in India.”
