With this new cooperation, Tata Electronics joins Qualcomm Technologies’ global network of module manufacturing partners aimed at supporting the growing global demand for modular automotive platforms.
The collaboration aims to enable local production of automotive technologies for digital cockpits, infotainment, connectivity, and intelligent vehicle systems, addressing growing demand from Indian and global automakers while enhancing supply chain flexibility and geographic diversification.
“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,” Nakul Duggal, EVP and Group GM, Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT, and Robotics, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc said in a statement.
Savi Soin, Senior Vice President & President, Qualcomm India added that manufacturing in India through Tata Electronics would enhance its ability to support both Indian and global OEMs with greater flexibility and supply chain resilience.
“Modules are central to Qualcomm Technologies’ vision for the future of vehicle electronics. By providing comprehensive, ready-to-integrate solutions, we help automakers reduce design complexity and bring next-generation vehicles to market more quickly,” Soin said.
Qualcomm’s Automotive Modules are designed to enable scalable, turnkey architectures that support the industry’s transition to software-defined vehicles, the company said.
“This collaboration supports Tata Electronics’ objective to become a global hub for high-technology manufacturing as a trusted partner to our leading semiconductor and automotive customers worldwide,” Randhir Thakur, CEO & MD, Tata Electronics said. “We will leverage our Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP) solutions and deliver high quality, high-performance products to support Qualcomm Technologies’ global product leadership.”
Tata Electronics’ upcoming greenfield, high-volume semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam, where the company will manufacture Qualcomm Automotive Module products, is India’s first indigenous OSAT facility, being built with an investment of $3 billion.
The facility will focus on crucial platform technologies – Wire Bond, Flip Chip, and Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP) – to manufacture products critical for key applications in industries such as automotive, communications, IoT, and AI.
