Tata Group and Intel Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore a strategic collaboration focused on semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging, and hardware enablement for consumer and enterprise markets. The partnership aims to strengthen India’s domestic semiconductor ecosystem and build a stable and geo resilient electronics supply chain based in India.

As part of the MoU, Intel and Tata will explore the manufacturing and packaging of Intel products for the local market at Tata Electronics’ upcoming semiconductor fabrication plant and OSAT facilities in India. The two companies will also evaluate opportunities for advanced semiconductor packaging within the country. These efforts are aligned with India’s long term goal of building local capabilities across the semiconductor value chain, including high value manufacturing and assembly.

The collaboration also includes plans to scale AI PC solutions designed specifically for Indian consumers and enterprises. India is projected to become one of the top five PC markets globally by 2030, supported by rising enterprise digitisation, consumer demand, and rapid adoption of AI based computing.

Intel and Tata plan to combine Intel’s AI compute reference designs with Tata Electronics’ electronics manufacturing services expertise. Tata Group’s wide presence across industries and strong access to the Indian market will support distribution and adoption.

N Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, said the Tata Group is committed to building a strong and sustainable semiconductor industry in India. He stated that working with Intel would help accelerate this effort, support the growth of a broader technology ecosystem, and position India to benefit from the growing demand for AI driven computing.

Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan said India represents one of the world’s fastest growing compute markets. He highlighted increasing PC demand and rapid AI adoption as key drivers. He added that the collaboration with Tata would help Intel expand its presence, scale faster, and deliver greater value to customers in India.

Dr Randhir Thakur, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Electronics, said the MoU supports Tata Electronics’ plans across EMS, OSAT, and semiconductor fabrication. He noted that local manufacturing and packaging could improve cost efficiency, shorten time to market, and build a reliable supply chain while meeting rising demand for next generation AI compute products in India.
