India’s Tata Electronics and Taiwanese companies Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) and Himax have announced a semiconductor-related memorandum of understanding (MoU).

Tata Electronics is a leader in India’s electronics manufacturing sector. Himax is a specialist in fabless display driver ICs and other semiconductor products. PSMC is a leading foundry and technology transfer partner of Tata Electronics. Together, they aim to leverage their respective strengths to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end display semiconductor solutions for their mutual customers, from chip design to chip manufacturing and packaging, as well as electronics manufacturing services (EMS) to deliver system-level solutions, to both the Indian and global markets.

The parties say they will collaborate closely to develop solutions focusing on Made in India requirements. The partnership also encompasses designing and manufacturing next-generation solutions to meet global demand while enhancing supply chain resilience.

This MoU, they add, marks a significant step forward for Tata Electronics, Himax and PSMC in expanding their market outreach and jointly exploring the growing market of display semiconductors and ultra-low-power AI sensing in India as well as globally.

While the official press release offers no further details, the Economic Times news service says the display semiconductors will be manufactured in Dholera, a town in the Ahmedabad district of Gujarat state on the west coast of the country.

It also notes that India’s Union Cabinet last year approved Tata Electronics’ proposal to set up a semiconductor fab in partnership with PSMC with an investment of INR910 billion crore (about US$10.5 billion). The unit is expected to have a capacity of 50,000 wafer starts per month (WSPM).

Gujarat may have even more to celebrate. US electronics manufacturing company Jabil reportedly has plans to set up a silicon photonics manufacturing factory in the state.

Applications for silicon photonics include optical communications, long range telecommunications and artificial intelligence.
