Nexperia and Tata Partner on Chip Manufacturing in India
Tata Electronics and Nexperia are joining together to make computer chips in India.
The chips will include power-control parts used in cars and electronic devices.
Production is planned at a large Tata factory being built in Dholera.
The companies are also discussing testing and assembling chips at another Tata facility in Jagiroad.
They may work together on new chip technologies in the future.
Nexperia recently separated from its Chinese parent company, Wingtech.
The Dutch government became involved because it wanted to stop Nexperia’s operations from moving to China, according to reports.
China then temporarily stopped exports of some Nexperia chips, which contributed to shortages for carmakers.
Tata Electronics and Nexperia will manufacture and package chips in India.
The companies plan to produce Nexperia power control chips at Tata’s Dholera plant.
They are discussing chip testing and assembly at Tata’s Jagiroad packaging facility.
The companies may also cooperate on developing future semiconductor technologies.
Nexperia’s dispute with Wingtech contributed to a temporary Chinese export ban and a carmaker chip shortage.
