Strategic Collaboration Between ROHM (Japan) and Tata Electronics for Semiconductor Operations in Dholera
Table of Contents
ROHM (Japan) and Tata Electronics have entered into a strategic collaboration that strengthens India's semiconductor manufacturing under the India Semiconductor Mission. By combining ROHM’s global semiconductor technology expertise with Tata Electronics’ semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, the partnership supports the development of Dholera Smart City as an emerging hub for the Indian semiconductor industry.
Overview of the ROHM–Tata Electronics Collaboration
The strategic collaboration between ROHM Semiconductor India operations and Tata Electronics focuses on advancing semiconductor manufacturing in India, particularly in the power and automotive chip segments. Announced in December 2025, the partnership aligns with national objectives to expand India's chip manufacturing capacity and strengthen domestic production ecosystems.
ROHM contributes advanced semiconductor design, device technology, and international quality standards, while Tata Electronics provides large-scale assembly, packaging, and testing infrastructure within India.
Role of Dholera in Semiconductor Operations
A key aspect of this collaboration is its alignment with infrastructure-led development in Dholera Smart City. Tata Electronics’ semiconductor initiatives in Gujarat complement the broader Dholera Smart City project, which is supported by strategic connectivity through the DMIC corridor, the Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway, and the upcoming Dholera International Airport.
Industrial developments such as the ABCD Building in Dholera and planned manufacturing zones enhance the region’s readiness for advanced semiconductor operations.
Contribution to India’s Semiconductor Vision
The ROHM–Tata Electronics collaboration plays an important role in advancing the objectives of the India Semiconductor Mission by strengthening domestic capabilities across multiple stages of semiconductor production. By combining global technology expertise with local manufacturing infrastructure, the partnership supports skill development, process standardization, and technology transfer within the Indian semiconductor industry.
This collaboration also encourages long-term ecosystem growth by supporting supplier networks, workforce training, and ancillary industries, contributing to a more resilient Indian semiconductor manufacturing environment.
Global Supply Chain and Market Access
- Semiconductor products developed through this collaboration are intended for both Indian and international markets, supporting wider adoption across automotive and industrial sectors.
- ROHM’s established global customer base helps connect India's semiconductor manufacturing with international demand and quality benchmarks.
- Tata Electronics’ scalable production and testing capabilities support consistent supply volumes aligned with global standards.
- Together, the partnership enhances India’s participation in global semiconductor value chains while improving export readiness and supply-chain diversification.
