Bengaluru, January 24. Tata Electronics has finalised an agreement with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation to build India’s first AI-enabled semiconductor Fab in Gujarat. The facility will produce up to 50,000 wafers per month, creating over 20,000 jobs and addressing growing chip demand in various markets including AI and automotive.

As per the agreement, PSMC will provide design and construction support to build India’s first AI-enabled state-of-the-art greenfield Fab in Gujarat, license a broad portfolio of technologies and provide engineering support to successfully transfer licensed technologies to the Gujarat Fab.

This Fab is expected to have a manufacturing capacity of up to 50,000 wafers per month and will include next-generation factory automation capabilities deploying data analytics and machine learning to achieve industry-best factory efficiency.

The new semiconductor Fab will manufacture chips for applications such as power management IC, display drivers, microcontrollers (MCU) and high-performance computing logic, addressing the growing demand in markets such as AI, automotive, computing and data storage, and wireless communication.

This agreement between Tata Electronics and PSMC will bring to India a portfolio of cutting-edge semiconductor technologies, advanced skill set and talent, and a network of semiconductor manufacturing suppliers and ecosystem partners, setting the foundation for an indigenous semiconductor ecosystem in India.

With a total investment of up to INR 91,000 crores (~US$11bn), the Fab will create over 20,000 direct and indirect skilled jobs. With this Fab, India for the first time will be able to address the growing chip demand of domestic and global customers. Tata Group’s multi-fab vision for Dholera is projected to create over 1,00,000 skilled jobs.

Notably, Tata Electronics has already engaged two esteemed design firms from Taiwan to create a top-tier Fab that adheres to global standards of quality, safety, and sustainability. The collaboration between Tata Electronics, PSMC and the Taiwanese ecosystem is poised to strengthen the resilience of the global supply chain and effectively cater to the needs of global customers.
