ROHM Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese semiconductor and electronics company, and Tata Electronics, a major player in India’s electronics and semiconductor manufacturing sector have announced a strategic partnership for semiconductor manufacturing in India. The partnership will serve both Indian and global markets.
By combining their expertise and industry ecosystems ROHM and Tata Electronics aim to create new business opportunities and further strengthen collaboration between the semiconductor industries of Japan and India.
As a first step, ROHM and Tata Electronics will work together to set up a manufacturing system for power semiconductors in India. This will combine ROHM’s advanced semiconductor technology with Tata Electronics’ strong backend manufacturing capabilities.
By bringing together their sales channels and networks the partnership aims to create new opportunities in the Indian market and offer more valuable solutions to a wide range of customers.
Tata Electronics will start by assembling and testing ROHM’s automotive-grade Nch 100V, 300A Si MOSFET, designed in India, in a TOLL package. The goal is to begin mass production and shipments by next year. The companies will also look into co-developing advanced packaging technologies in the future. Together, they will market the products made through this collaboration.
This partnership supports the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiative and the idea of “Designed in India, Manufactured in India.” It shows the focus on building products that are both designed and produced within India.
The ROHM–Tata partnership aims to create an ecosystem in India that covers design, development, and manufacturing. This will increase domestic value, ensure a stable supply of products, and deliver better solutions for customers in the Indian market.
Discussing the partnership, Dr Randhir Thakur, CEO & MD, Tata Electronics, said, “Tata Electronics is deeply committed to pioneering a thriving semiconductor industry in India. We are excited to partner with ROHM, a global leader in semiconductor solutions. With a strong legacy of quality and reliability across products for a broad range of markets, ROHM brings deep domain expertise to this partnership. Through our semiconductor assembly and test facilities, Tata Electronics will deliver advanced chip packaging services to support ROHM in creating products tailored for Indian and global markets. This partnership will go a long way in bringing in trust and resilience in the global semiconductor supply chain while also expanding our respective business opportunities.”
