Bangalore-based Tata Electronics will manufacture automotive semiconductor modules in India in collaboration with US-based semiconductor firm Qualcomm Technologies, according to a company statement. The modules will be produced at Tata Electronics’ upcoming outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility in Assam.

Auto modules: Tata Electronics will manufacture Qualcomm Automotive Modules that integrate Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Digital Chassis system-on-chips platform into production-ready units. The modules are deployed in digital cockpits, infotainment systems, connectivity solutions, and intelligent vehicle architectures.

Why it matters: MENA businesses may find a new supply source in India because of the country’s ongoing efforts to establish domestic semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

Facility investment: Tata’s assembly and test facility is being developed with an investment of roughly INR 272 bn (USD 3 bn) and is being positioned as the country’s first homegrown OSAT facility.
