Tata Electronics and BEL have signed an MoU to develop indigenous semiconductor and electronics solutions for India.

Tata Electronics, a major player in India’s electronics manufacturing sector, has inked an MoU with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Defence. This strategic alliance intends to accelerate the development of indigenous semiconductor and electronics solutions, thereby helping the Indian government’s goal of self-reliance in sophisticated technologies.

The agreement was signed by Dr Randhir Thakur, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Electronics, and Shri Manoj Jain, Chairman and Managing Director of BEL.

Under this arrangement, the two companies will look at the potential in semiconductor fabrication (Fab), outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing (OSAT), and design services. The emphasis will be on addressing BEL’s current and future requirements in areas such as microcontrollers (MCUs), systems on chip (SoCs), monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), and processors.

Tata Electronics and BEL will also collaborate on developing optimal production solutions through information exchange, best practices, and resource sharing. This collaboration is an important step towards boosting India’s domestic electronics ecosystem and improving capabilities in defence and high-tech manufacturing.
