Tata Electronics, Bosch ink pact for semiconductor, auto tech projects
The two companies will focus their efforts at Tata Electronics' upcoming assembly and test facility in Assam, as well as its semiconductor foundry in Gujarat.
Randhir Thakur, CEO of Tata Electronics, said the partnership aligns with the company's broader goal of supporting India's semiconductor ecosystem. 'This partnership is well-aligned with our commitment to help create a holistic semiconductor and electronics ecosystem in India, with offerings that resonate with customers around the world," he said.
In addition to semiconductor manufacturing, the collaboration will explore local projects in the area of vehicle electronics. Both companies aim to expand their work in electronic manufacturing services for the automotive sector.
'Bosch recognises the increasing demand for advanced automotive electronics and their critical role in shaping the future of mobility. To address the growing needs and foster supply chain resilience, Bosch is pleased to foster partnership with Tata Electronics,' said Dirk Kress, executive vice-president of semiconductor operations at Robert Bosch GmbH.
The partnership is seen as a major step forward for India's ambitions in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. It also highlights the increasing interest of global technology companies in India's growing manufacturing potential.
Tata Electronics, BEL join hands to develop semiconductor solutions
In June, Tata Electronics signed a MoU with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) to jointly work on electronics and semiconductor solutions.
BEL, a Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Defence, will partner with Tata Electronics to build end-to-end semiconductor and electronics systems tailored to India's needs. The collaboration will cover areas such as chip design, outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT), and semiconductor fabrication, with Tata Electronics supporting BEL's existing and future product lines.
Both companies will focus on developing microcontrollers (MCUs), systems-on-chip (SoCs), monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), and other processors crucial to the electronics ecosystem.
Tata Electronics expands display chip plans in Gujarat
In March, Tata Electronics also announced a new display chip fabrication facility in Dholera, Gujarat. The plant will be set up in partnership with Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) and Himax Technologies, PTI had reported.
Display chips manufactured at the upcoming facility will be used in products such as TVs, smartphones, LEDs, OLEDs, and camera sensors.
While Vedanta Group had also proposed a display fab in Gujarat, its plan has yet to receive government approval. Tata's entry positions it across all major semiconductor manufacturing segments.

German firm plans to open its first tech centre in India at Indore
Indore: A German tech firm announced plans to invest at least $8 million to establish a technology centre in Indore, marking its first setup in India. Another Berlin-headquartered technology company also expressed interest in establishing a technology centre in the state, focusing on the service sector. A delegation of five German technology companies visited Indore on a week-long trip concluding on August 22 under the state's Global Startup Exchange Programme. They held meetings with officials from the industries department and key tech firms on Tuesday. The delegation is part of the memorandum of understanding signed between Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) and Germany India Innovation Centre (GIIC) during the Global Investors Summit held in Bhopal in Feb 2025. GIIC managing director Siddharth Bhasin said, "The objective behind this visit is locking some good deals and collaboration. German investors are exploring opportunities to share technology and expertise with tech companies of Indore. India is primarily known for its IT services, but the collaboration with German firms could aid in establishing firms working on product development in healthcare, edtech, and others. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo " Speaking on the sidelines of an industry meeting in Indore, the German tech firm, Q-nnect AG chief product officer Andre Lange said, "We want to set up a tech centre in Indore and be part of building an ecosystem in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The estimated cost of the tech centre is between $8-10 million, and this facility will make the state more competitive for attracting investments from more tech firms." German AI and software development companies stated that the presence of IT giants like TCS, Infosys and Infobeans, among others in Indore — a home to more than 1000 big and small IT firms—makes the place suitable for German investments and collaborations. "I have explored Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and other Indian cities and found Indore well suited as it has talent due to the presence of IIT and IIM, ease of doing business, and favourable policies for tech companies," said Lange. Another German tech company stated they are in advanced talks with a homegrown listed IT firm for collaborating on technology sharing, soft training, and providing advanced services to clients. "We are in talks with an Indore-based IT giant for collaborating with them with a focus on the services sector. We are also planning to set up a tech centre but have not decided on the location. We are considering Indore seriously because this place has good availability of talent and, most importantly, this is not saturated, which makes it a great place to operate," said Joanna Maja Morzy, marketing and operations lead at Talonic. German tech firms mentioned that the tariffs imposed by the United States will help further strengthen the business relationship with India and pave the way for new avenues for other nations. The German delegation held closed-door meetings and workshops with homegrown IT company Infobeans, followed by interactions with other tech firms and industry department officials at the office of MPIDC. MPIDC Indore executive director Himanshu Prajapati said, "The govt is playing a supportive and encouraging role in international partnerships and technical cooperation. The operating cost in Indore is much lower compared to metro cities, while the city's liveability makes it even more attractive for entrepreneurs and investors to work here. As the digitization of data in India is still in its early stages, and data duplicity affects accuracy in the long term, the country is currently focusing on the integration of AI and data-driven services. " "We are finding immense opportunities to collaborate on the AI side. We will help some of them with their go to market strategy in India and to our customers. German companies are doing some really good work on the generative AI side," said Infobeans co-founder Siddharth Seth. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
