Tata Electronics and ASML signed a memorandum of understanding<\/a> to support the development of India’s first commercial 300 mm semiconductor fabrication plant, the companies announced on May 16.<\/p>\n

Lithography tools and solutions from ASML will be directed toward getting Tata Electronics’ Dholera, Gujarat facility up and running at commercial scale, the two companies said. Chips destined for the automotive sector, mobile devices, and AI applications are among the planned outputs of the facility, which carries an $11 billion price tag for Tata Electronics.<\/p>\n

The deal was signed in the presence of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, according to Reuters<\/a>. Modi is on a multi-country tour that included a stop in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

The partnership extends beyond hardware procurement: talent training, supply chain construction, and R&D infrastructure for the Dholera site are all areas where the two companies have agreed to collaborate.<\/p>\n

Tata Electronics CEO and MD Dr. Randhir Thakur said in a statement that ASML’s expertise in lithography “will ensure the timely ramp of our fab in Dholera, create a resilient and trusted supply chain for our global customers, drive innovation, and develop talent locally.”<\/p>\n

ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet pointed to India’s growth trajectory in a statement, saying the sector “represents many compelling opportunities” and that the company is “committed to establishing long-term partnerships in the region.”<\/p>\n

Tata Electronics has previously partnered with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, which has given it access to process technology nodes ranging from 28nm to 110nm, according to the companies. Construction of the Dholera plant is underway.<\/p>\n

ASML, headquartered in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, makes the lithography machines used to print circuit patterns onto silicon wafers. The company counts South Korea, Taiwan, and China among its largest markets, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. For ASML, gaining a foothold in India offers an avenue for geographic expansion at a time when export controls and U.S.-China tensions have complicated the company’s position in existing markets<\/a>, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

According to Reuters<\/a>, India has committed billions of dollars in government incentives to draw chipmakers to the country, and eight projects are currently in progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tata Electronics and ASML signed a memorandum of understanding to support the development of India’s first commercial 300…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14797,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[65,2219,7841,9945,12208,10203],"class_list":["post-14796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-asml","tag-asml","tag-india","tag-memorandum-of-understanding","tag-prime-minister-narendra-modi","tag-semiconductor-fabrication-plant","tag-tata-electronics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
