LTSCT partners with Tata Electronics to advance chip manufacturing

India’s L&T Semiconductor Technologies Limited (LTSCT) and Tata Electronics have announced a strategic partnership to expand indigenous manufacturing of market-leading chip products in India to serve global customers. The alliance aims to build indigenous design and manufacturing capabilities to support next-generation products across automotive, industrial, communications, security and intelligent-edge sectors, according to a press release.

The partnership brings together L&T Semiconductor’s fabless design innovation with Tata Electronics’ semiconductor packaging and foundry capabilities to advance domestic chip manufacturing. Both companies will jointly explore chip fabrication and packaging opportunities for L&T Semiconductor’s current and future products across Tata Electronics’ range of fab process technologies and packaging solutions. The collaboration will also include chip design to fabrication optimisations with a focus on ensuring efficient manufacturing at scale, the press release said.

“Semiconductor leadership will increasingly be defined not just by design breakthroughs but by the ability to industrialise those designs through advanced packaging and manufacturing. At LTSCT, we see this as India’s opportunity to move up the value chain,” said Dr Sandeep Kumar, Chief Executive, L&T Semiconductor Technologies Limited. “Our engagement with Tata Electronics is a decisive step in building those capabilities, ensuring that the next generation of semiconductor products can be designed in India and delivered to global markets with speed, reliability and scale.” 

“Our partnership with LTSCT is a significant step which will accelerate India’s vision of becoming a full-stack semiconductor nation, by combining L&T Semiconductor’s deep fabless design and engineering expertise with our capabilities across semiconductor manufacturing, packaging and testing,” said Dr Randhir Thakur, CEO & MD, Tata Electronics.
