ROHM–Tata Electronics Partner on Semiconductor Manufacturing in India

Mumbai/Kyoto- ROHM Co., Ltd. and Tata Electronics have announced a strategic partnership to advance semiconductor manufacturing in India, serving both domestic and global markets. The collaboration brings together ROHM’s deep expertise in semiconductor device technologies with Tata Electronics’ growing capabilities in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, strengthening ties between the Japanese and Indian semiconductor ecosystems.

As an initial step, the two companies will establish a manufacturing framework for power semiconductors in India. This effort will combine ROHM’s advanced power device technologies with Tata Electronics’ backend assembly and testing expertise. By aligning their sales channels and customer networks, the partnership aims to unlock new business opportunities in India while delivering higher-value solutions to a broad customer base.

Under the first phase of the agreement, Tata Electronics will assemble and test ROHM’s India-designed, automotive-grade N-channel 100V, 300A silicon MOSFET in a TOLL package. Mass production shipments are targeted to begin next year. Beyond this, both companies plan to explore the co-development of advanced, high-value packaging technologies, further enhancing product performance and competitiveness. Marketing and commercialization of the jointly manufactured products will also be carried out collaboratively.

This partnership strongly supports the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiative and aligns with the vision of “Designed in India, Manufactured in India.” By building an end-to-end ecosystem encompassing design, development, and manufacturing within India, the ROHM Tata collaboration is set to increase domestic value addition, ensure a stable supply of semiconductors, and deliver products optimized for the specific needs of the Indian market.

Dr Randhir Thakur, CEO & MD, Tata Electronics, said, “Tata Electronics is deeply committed to pioneering a thriving semiconductor industry in India. We are excited to partner with ROHM, a global leader in semiconductor solutions. With a strong legacy of quality and reliability across products for a broad range of markets, ROHM brings deep domain expertise to this partnership. Through our semiconductor assembly and test facilities, Tata Electronics will deliver advanced chip packaging services to support ROHM in creating products tailored for Indian and global markets. This partnership will go a long way in bringing in trust and resilience in the global semiconductor supply chain while also expanding our respective business opportunities.”

Dr. Kazuhide Ino, Member of the Board, Managing Executive Officer, ROHM Co., Ltd., said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Tata Electronics, a leading Indian corporate group with advanced packaging capabilities. Through this partnership, we aim to expand our lineup of packaged products manufactured in India and help build a sustainable, region-based supply chain network. We are confident that this collaboration will enable us to meet the growing demand from Indian customers seeking domestically produced semiconductors. We also envision supplying jointly manufactured products to the global market.”
