The collaboration will explore joint initiatives in consumer and enterprise hardware enablement, as well as semiconductor and systems manufacturing and packaging. Intel and Tata intend to examine opportunities for manufacturing and packaging Intel products for the domestic market at Tata Electronics’ upcoming Fab and OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) facilities. The companies will also evaluate avenues for advanced semiconductor packaging in India.

Another focus area will be scaling AI-enabled PC solutions tailored to the Indian market, which is expected to become one of the world’s top five by 2030. This effort will draw on Intel’s AI compute reference designs and Tata Electronics’ Electronics Manufacturing Services capabilities.

N Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, underlined the significance of the partnership, noting that Tata is committed to building a strong semiconductor industry in India. He said the alliance with Intel would accelerate progress, strengthen the domestic technology ecosystem and position the companies to capture the expanding AI opportunity.

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan highlighted India’s rapid growth in compute demand, adding that the collaboration represents a major opportunity to scale in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets. He said rising PC adoption and strong AI uptake make India a key focus for Intel’s global ambitions.

Dr Randhir Thakur, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Electronics, said the MoU aligns closely with the company’s roadmap across EMS, OSAT and semiconductor fabrication. He added that the partnership would help establish a reliable and resilient supply chain in India, driving greater cost competitiveness and faster time-to-market for next-generation AI compute solutions.
