Tata Electronics has partnered with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) to build India’s first AI-enabled state-of-the-art Fab. The new semiconductor Fab will manufacture chips for applications such as power management IC, display drivers, microcontrollers (MCU) and high-performance computing logic. The Fab will have a manufacturing capacity of up to 50,000 wafers per month and the first chip will come out from the facility before the end of 2026.
Last week, Tata Sons Chairman Chandrasekaran said: “It is very important for India to become a semiconductor nation. I am very glad that Tata group has been able to establish the first semiconductor FAB, also the first indigenous assembly unit in Assam. , where we see a lot of prosperity and a lot of jobs and it will change the face of that part of the world with this specific investment.”
