Qualcomm Technologies and Tata Electronics have announced a collaboration between the companies under which the latter, a leading electronics and semiconductor manufacturing company in India, will serve as a manufacturing partner for the former’s automotive modules.
With this new cooperation, Tata Electronics joins Qualcomm Technologies’ global network of module manufacturing partners aimed at supporting the growing global demand for modular automotive platforms. Qualcomm Technologies will manufacture automotive module products in India at Tata Electronics’ upcoming semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility in Jagiroad, Assam.
The collaboration aims to enable local production of automotive technologies for digital cockpits, infotainment, connectivity, and intelligent vehicle systems, addressing growing demand from Indian and global automakers while enhancing supply chain flexibility and geographic diversification.
Qualcomm automotive modules integrate the Snapdragon digital chassis system-on-chips (SoCs) with essential system components into a single, production-ready module, delivering comprehensive electronics platforms for automakers. By simplifying system design and accelerating development timelines, Qualcomm automotive modules are designed to enable scalable, turnkey architectures that support the industry’s transition to software-defined vehicles.
Nakul Duggal, EVP and group GM, automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, and robotics, Qualcomm Technologies Inc, said : “Our work with Tata Electronics marks an important milestone in our automotive growth strategy. As the industry accelerates its shift toward integrated, module-based architectures, expanding manufacturing capacity in key regions becomes essential. Tata Electronics brings worldclass expertise, trusted production capabilities, and a shared commitment to strengthen India’s role in the global semiconductor and automotive ecosystems. Together, we will support automakers with scalable, high-performance solutions built in India.”
Tata Electronics has offerings across the entire electronics and semiconductor manufacturing value chain to serve global customers. The greenfield, high-volume semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam, where the company will manufacture Qualcomm Automotive Module products, is India’s first indigenous OSAT facility, being built with an investment of US$3bn. The facility will focus on crucial platform technologies – Wire Bond, Flip Chip, and Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP) – to manufacture products critical for key applications in industries such as automotive, communications, IoT, and AI.
Randhir Thakur, CEO & MD, Tata Electronics, said: “We are excited to partner with Qualcomm Technologies to manufacture their advanced automotive modules in India. This collaboration supports Tata Electronics’ objective to become a global hub for high‑technology manufacturing as a trusted partner to our leading semiconductor and automotive customers worldwide. We will leverage our Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP) solutions and deliver high quality, high-performance products to support Qualcomm Technologies’ global product leadership.”
