A game-changing collaboration between Qualcomm Technologies and Tata Electronics was revealed Friday, setting the stage for Qualcomm Automotive Modules to be made in India at Tata’s Jagiroad semiconductor hub in Assam. Championing ‘Make in India’, the deal focuses on homegrown production of technologies powering digital cockpits, entertainment systems, connectivity, and intelligent autos.
Local module assembly will satisfy intensifying market needs from domestic and international carmakers, while building more robust, adaptable supply networks.
Joining Qualcomm’s global manufacturing cadre, Tata Electronics is primed to address the modular platform boom in automotive. The modules seamlessly combine Snapdragon Digital Chassis chips with supporting hardware, handing OEMs turnkey electronics solutions.
With efficient designs and swift prototyping, they enable expansive, instantly usable setups that accelerate the software-defined vehicle era.
Nakul Duggal from Qualcomm’s automotive arm highlighted manufacturing scale-up’s role in modular adoption. Savi Soin of Qualcomm India pointed to reduced complexities and faster time-to-market for advanced vehicles via these solutions.
India-based production through Tata empowers Qualcomm to provide OEMs with superior agility and supply reliability. The ambitious $3 billion Jagiroad facility, a pioneering OSAT in India, excels in sophisticated techniques including wire bond, flip chip, and integrated packaging for auto, IoT, AI, and telecom applications.
Poised to catalyze economic momentum, this partnership elevates India’s semiconductor ecosystem, fostering innovation, employment, and a competitive edge in global automotive tech.
