Qualcomm Technologies and Tata Electronics have announced a partnership to produce ‘Qualcomm Automotive Modules’ in India at Tata Electronics’ upcoming semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam. This collaboration, in line with the ‘Make in India’ initiative, aims to manufacture automotive technologies for digital cockpits, infotainment, connectivity, and intelligent vehicle systems. The goal is to cater to the increasing demand from both Indian and global automakers while improving supply chain flexibility and geographic diversification.
Qualcomm Automotive Modules integrate the Snapdragon Digital Chassis system-on-chips with essential system components into a single, production-ready module. This integration provides comprehensive electronics platforms for automakers. The collaboration between Tata Electronics and Qualcomm Technologies will help in simplifying system design and speeding up development timelines. It will enable scalable, turnkey architectures supporting the industry’s shift towards software-defined vehicles.
Tata Electronics joining Qualcomm Technologies’ global network of module manufacturing partners is aimed at meeting the rising global demand for modular automotive platforms. The collaboration will assist automakers in reducing design complexity and bringing next-generation vehicles to the market more efficiently. Manufacturing these modules in India through Tata Electronics will enhance the company’s ability to support both Indian and global OEMs with increased flexibility and supply chain resilience.
The semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, being built with a $3 billion investment, is India’s first indigenous OSAT facility. This facility will focus on crucial platform technologies such as Wire Bond, Flip Chip, and Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP) to produce products vital for various industries like automotive, communications, IoT, and AI.
