Tata, Merck explore exclusive chemical deal for Dholera semiconductor facility
ETtech Tata Electronics is in discussions with German chemicals giant Merck for a potential exclusive long-term agreement, people aware of the developments told ET. The deal would see Merck become a primary supplier of specialty chemicals and materials essential for semiconductor manufacturing at Tata's upcoming Dholera facility. The Dholera fab, a 91,000 crore ($11 billion) project, is a joint venture with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (PSMC) of Taiwan. It's a cornerstone of India's ambitious push to establish a domestic semiconductor ecosystem. As construction progresses and the plant gears up for production by 2026, securing a steady and reliable supply of ultra-pure chemicals is paramount. A potential partnership with Merck will help seal this gap, analysts said. 'Tata Electronics is in active negotiations with Merck,' said one of the persons. ' Tata is evaluating the offer and is yet to sign on the dotted line but securing a chemicals partner is very much on their agenda. It will boil down to whether they agree to the exclusivity.' Semiconductor manufacturing uses more than 150 chemicals and over 30 gases and minerals in the production processes. Analysts said this exclusive partnership would provide Tata Electronics with supply chain stability, a critical factor in the volatile global semiconductor market and will help Merck make a foray into India's burgeoning semiconductor industry.'We have been monitoring semiconductor manufacturing developments in India for the past couple of years,' a Merck spokesperson said. 'We believe that India is becoming an increasingly important partner in the global semiconductor ecosystem. However, at this time it is too early to talk about concrete plans for India. We continue to closely follow opportunities that align with our strategic goals.'Tata Electronics didn't respond to queries. Merck is a global leader in specialty chemicals and serves as a crucial ancillary supplier for both existing and future chipmakers, said Neil Shah, vice president of research at Counterpoint Research. It provides a comprehensive portfolio of high-purity materials, including chemicals, gases, and metrology and inspection solutions. 'These offerings support chipmakers throughout various stages of manufacturing, from deposition and etching to final quality control,' he explained. 'An exclusive agreement between Merck and Tata Electronics would create significant strategic advantages for both companies. For Tata Electronics, an exclusive partnership would ensure a consistent, prioritized, and uninterrupted supply of critical materials, mitigating supply chain risks. Having a special price lock-in often comes with exclusivity.' It will allow Tata Electronics to leverage Merck's extensive supplier experience and R&D capabilities. It could thus lead to the development of robust processes, improved manufacturing yields and an accelerated timeline for their chip production.'For Merck, partnering with Tata Electronics, a key player in India's emerging semiconductor landscape, would be a major strategic win,' Shah said. 'As India becomes a more important market for chip manufacturing, this partnership would provide Merck with significant scale and a strong foothold. This position would enable Merck to expand its operational base in India, invest in local R&D, and potentially benefit from government incentives.'Merck will require a robust ecosystem to establish a successful chemicals plant in Gujarat. This includes not only reliable infrastructure--electricity, water, security, logistics--but also a well-developed upstream supply chain with local partners in raw materials to packaging. Shah said this 'holistic ecosystem' is essential to support and sustain Merck's was the first to report in February that Merck was looking to set up a specialty chemicals facility in India. In May, Union minister for electronics and information technology Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted that Merck, among other companies, was gearing up for the growth of India's semiconductor industry.

Premier League 2025-26: Top five new players, title favourites, Matchday 1 schedule and live streaming
The 2025-26 season of the Premier League gets underway with defending champions Liverpool facing Bournemouth at Anfield on Friday. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming season. Liverpool's Florian Wirtz and Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres are two new signings to keep an eye on in the 2025-26 Premier League season. Reuters The 2025-26 Premier League season gets underway with defending champions Liverpool facing Bournemouth in an emotional season-opener at The Anfield, the English top-flight strengthened by a remarkable £2 billion ($2.7 billion) spending splurge, a sizeable chunk of it spent by the Reds. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming season, from the key signings to watch out for and title favourites to Matchday 1 schedule and information on live streaming: STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Top five new signings to watch out this season Florian Wirtz, Liverpool: The biggest signing of the summer so far, ($157 million) from Bayer Leverkusen, the spotlight will firmly be on the German attacking midfielder and whether he can live up to his price tag or not. He did, however, impress in the at the Wembley, providing an assist to fellow new signing Hugo Ekitike early in the game. Hugo Ekitike made an instant impression after joining Liverpool on a £79 million deal from Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring the opening goal in the fourth minute of the contest. AP Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool: It took under four minutes for Hugo Ekitike, who had joined the defending champions from Eintracht Frankfurt for £79 million ($107 million), to make an impact on Liverpool debut as he put the Reds in the lead with a superb strike. Like Wirtz, Ekitike too will have the spotlight on him this season, being the second-most expensive signing of the summer transfer window so far. More from Football Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United: Ruben Amorim's side have opted for a complete overhaul in their attack as they desperately seek to return to European competition this season after their horrendous 15th-place finish in May. And the Portuguese manager will be hoping that Slovenian striker Sesko, who (approximately $100 million) provides a towering presence at 6'5, makes a formidable trio with Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha up front. Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal: The Gunners have had their eyes on the Swedish centre-forward, who is among the deadliest finishers in the world and has played a key role in each of Sporting CP's title-winning campaigns in the last two Primeira Liga seasons. And after weeks of suspense, Mikel Arteta's side ($86.05 million) on a five-year contract on 27 July. Arteta will be hoping Gyokeres is able to carry that red-hot goal-scoring form over to England and help his side finally lift their first Premier League title since 2004. Rayan Cherki (Manchester City): Cherki, who joins Man City for £34 million ($46 million), had created as many as 125 chances across competitions for Lyon last season, with only Barcelona's Raphina and city rivals United's Bruno Fernandes having bettered that tally. That alone should make the Frenchman among the new signings to keep an eye on this season. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Who are the title favourites in the 2025-26 Premier League? Liverpool had clinched the Premier League last season with four matches to spare in Arne Slot's maiden season in charge, and with their ambitious shopping in the summer transfer window, there's no reason to believe that the Reds cannot win back-to-back titles for the first time in the Premier League era. Then again, one cannot leave Arsenal and Manchester City out of the conversation while discussing Premier League title favourites. With their ambitious purchases in the transfer window, Liverpool certainly will back themselves to win back-to-back Premier League titles. AP City have been the most dominant team in the English top-flight since legendary manager Alex Ferguson bid United goodbye in the summer of 2013, missing out on the title once twice since the 2017-18 season – getting thwarted by Liverpool on both occasions. A key reason why they looked relatively off-colour last season was injury to key players, including and especially Ballon d'Or winner Rodri. And there's no reason to believe Guardiola's men can't bounce back and win their 11th top-flight title this season. As for the Gunners, Arteta certainly has transformed them into a formidable and consistent side with the 13-time English top-flight champions finishing runners-up in each of the last three seasons – twice to City and to Liverpool last season. With a goal-scoring machine in striker Gyokeres in their ranks along with an elite holding midfielder in Martin Zubimendi – who joins from Real Sociedad for £60 million ($81 million), who's to say Arteta cannot deliver his fans their first league title since the Invincibles' triumph in 2003-04. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Matchday 1 Full schedule Here's the full schedule for Matchday 1 (timings in IST; home team mentioned first): – Liverpool vs Bournemouth (Saturday, 16 August at 12.30 am) – Aston Villa vs Newcastle (Saturday, 16 August at 5 pm) – Brighton vs Fulham (Saturday, 16 August at 7.30 pm) – Sunderland vs West Ham (Saturday, 16 August at 7.30 pm) – Tottenham vs Burnley (Saturday, 16 August at 7.30 pm) – Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City (Saturday, 16 August at 10 pm) – Chelsea vs Crystal Palace (Sunday, 17 August at 6.30 pm) – Nottingham Forest vs Brentford (Sunday, 17 August at 6.30 pm) – Manchester United vs Arsenal (Sunday, 17 August at 9 pm) – Leeds United vs Everton (Tuesday, 19 August at 12.30 am) Where to watch Premier League on TV and online in India?

La Liga: Hansi Flick stays confident as Barcelona scramble to register new recruits
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick remains optimistic the club will register key players, including new signings Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford, in time for Saturday's LaLiga opener at Mallorca, despite ongoing financial fair play (FFP) Spanish champions are once again battling LaLiga's strict financial rules after several seasons of spending more on signings and wages than they have generated in revenue. Flick admitted the situation was far from ideal but expressed trust in the club's me, you can imagine I'm not happy about that. But I know the situation and I believe in the club,' Flick told reporters on Friday. 'We have to wait till tomorrow. It was the same situation last season. We will focus on what we can change and what is in our hands.' Barcelona's registration woes have been partially eased by a surprising twist involving captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Initially unwilling to sign a long-term medical leave agreement that would reduce his wages by 80% while he recovers from surgery, the German goalkeeper was stripped of his captaincy before agreeing to the deal — after which the armband was returned.'The most important thing is that everyone speaks together,' Flick said. 'Marc has shown for many years he's a fantastic goalkeeper. The important thing is he comes back fit. We're all on his side.'The sale of veteran defender Inigo Martinez to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia has also freed up valuable salary space. Flick admitted he was 'a little bit surprised' by Martinez's departure but understood the decision.'I'm not happy he left, but he's a fantastic player and person. He was one of our leaders and deserves the best,' Flick losing a key defender, Flick is not rushing into the transfer market, instead backing 23-year-old Gerard Martin to step up.'Gerard can also play centre back. Last season, as a left back, he improved a lot. When he played as centre back, he did well. I like players who can play in different positions,' Flick the squad's registration still unresolved, all eyes will be on whether Barcelona can navigate their FFP constraints in time for kick-off at Son Moix.- Ends
