Tata Group in Semiconductor Sector

Tata Electronics is all set to enter into advanced packaging of semiconductor components. They are in talks with large global semiconductor companies and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) vendors. OSAT vendors provide third-party Integrated Circuit-packaging and test services. Tata Electronics already runs an operational facility in Hosur , Tamil Nadu. They want to expand their facilities and has surveyed four other states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana and Odisha - as prospective locations.  

Tata Motors is India’s largest electric carmaker.Renesas

Electronics is a Japanese chip manufacturer. Tata Motors is partnering with Renesas Electronics to design and develop semiconductors. Electric cars are the future of the auto industry and Tata Motors sold 19,105 electric cars last year. Car makers across the world look to make electric cars and more microchips, such as the ones Renesas makes, are getting embedded in cars.

 Designing chips in collaboration with Renesas will come in handy for the current and newer electric cars to be made by Jaguar Land Rover. These microcomputers control varied functions from fuel injections to running infotainment systems and acting as the car’s brain for cruise control. Last year Renesas,  earned a little over $9 billion in revenue which is  almost 46% of its sales from carmakers. This is unlike most other chip makers, which make the bulk of their sales from the consumer electronics industry.
