Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Tata Electronics Private Limited have announced a collaboration under which Tata Electronics will serve as a manufacturing partner for Qualcomm® Automotive Modules. The modules will be produced in India at Tata Electronics’ upcoming semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) facility in Jagiroad, Assam, aligning with the “Make in India” initiative.
Under the agreement, Tata Electronics joins Qualcomm Technologies’ global network of module manufacturing partners. The partnership is designed to support rising global demand for modular automotive platforms while enhancing supply chain flexibility and geographic diversification. The companies said the collaboration will enable local production of automotive technologies powering digital cockpits, infotainment, connectivity, and intelligent vehicle systems for both Indian and global automakers.
Qualcomm Automotive Modules combine the Snapdragon® Digital Chassis™ system-on-chips (SoCs) with essential system components into a single, production-ready platform. These modules are intended to simplify system design, accelerate development timelines, and provide scalable architectures that support the industry’s transition toward software-defined vehicles.
“Our work with Tata Electronics marks an important milestone in our automotive growth strategy,” said Nakul Duggal, EVP and Group GM, Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT, and Robotics, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “As the industry accelerates its shift toward integrated, module-based architectures, expanding manufacturing capacity in key regions becomes essential. Tata Electronics brings world-class expertise, trusted production capabilities, and a shared commitment to strengthen India’s role in the global semiconductor and automotive ecosystems.”
“Modules are central to Qualcomm Technologies’ vision for the future of vehicle electronics,” said Savi Soin, Senior Vice President & President, Qualcomm India. “Manufacturing in India through Tata Electronics enhances our ability to support both Indian and global OEMs with greater flexibility and supply chain resilience.”
“We are excited to partner with Qualcomm Technologies to manufacture their advanced automotive modules in India,” said Dr. Randhir Thakur, CEO & MD, Tata Electronics. “This collaboration supports Tata Electronics’ objective to become a global hub for high-technology manufacturing. We will leverage our Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP) solutions to deliver high-quality, high-performance products.”
Tata Electronics’ greenfield, high-volume OSAT facility in Jagiroad, Assam—described by the company as India’s first indigenous OSAT facility—is being developed with an investment of US$3 billion. The site will focus on Wire Bond, Flip Chip, and Integrated Systems Packaging (ISP) technologies to manufacture products for automotive, communications, IoT, and AI applications.
