A leading Japanese semiconductor-electronics manufacturer and Tata Electronics, a leading Indian electronics and semiconductor manufacturing company, have announced a strategic partnership to expand semiconductor manufacturing in India.
What Are Power Semiconductors? Focused production initiative
Semiconductors are devices that control the flow of electricity to reduce power loss. Personal computers and other electronic equipment constantly lose power when they operate. Power loss can be kept low by using high-performance power semiconductors.

High-performance power semiconductors help improve energy efficiency not only in personal computers but are also essential for smartphones, automotive applications, trains, and electrical substations. Power semiconductors are intensively used across a wide range of applications, and hence the government aims to manufacture these components first before moving on to chipsets that power niche markets.

Initial Focus on Power Semiconductors
In the first phase, ROHM and Tata Electronics will establish a manufacturing framework for power semiconductors in India. This collaboration will combine ROHM’s advanced device technology with Tata Electronics’ semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) capabilities.
Leveraging both companies’ sales channels and networks will create new opportunities in the Indian market and provide high-value solutions to customers.
First Project and Future Plans
As a first step in this collaboration, Tata Electronics will assemble and test automotive-grade N-channel 100V, 300A silicon MOSFETs designed by ROHM in India, using a TO-LL package. Mass production shipments are targeted for next year.
Additionally, future co-development of high-value packaging technologies will be explored. Both companies will also jointly market these products.
Promoting ‘Make in India’
This partnership is in line with the Indian government’s “Make in India” and “Designed in India, Manufactured in India” initiatives and helps build a region-based, sustainable supply chain.
ROHM has expressed confidence in meeting the growing demand from Indian customers and supplying the joint products to global markets. Meanwhile, Tata Electronics CEO and MD, Dr. Randhir Thakur, said that the company is committed to developing a strong semiconductor industry in India.
This partnership, combined with ROHM’s legacy of quality and reliability, will help create products tailored for Indian and global markets and enhance trust and resilience in the global semiconductor supply chain.
Tata Electronics is developing capabilities across the entire semiconductor value chain. The company is setting up India’s first commercial fab in Dholera, Gujarat, and the country’s first indigenous OSAT plant. These facilities will serve customers across multiple sectors, including automotive, mobile devices, IoT, artificial intelligence, defence, and aerospace.
