(Image credit: Tata) Intel has signed a strategic partnership with the Tata Group, one of India’s biggest global enterprises, in a bid to boost the country’s indigenous semiconductor and compute ecosystem. According to the announcement , the deal focuses on consumer and enterprise hardware enablement via an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding), which will include manufacturing and packaging of Intel products for local markets as well as advanced packaging in India.
As per a report by the Indian Express , the Tata Group is working on building two semiconductor facilities in India, valued at around $14 billion, including a fabrication plant in the state of Gujarat and an OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) in the north-eastern state of Assam. Additionally, the two companies are exploring an opportunity to scale tailored AI PC solutions for both consumer and enterprise markets in India, with an aim to become the global top five market by 2030.
“Intel’s technology has driven decades of advancement in computing, and as we continue to innovate, our ambition is to broaden our reach, accelerate growth, and deliver even greater value to our customers. We see this as a tremendous opportunity to collaborate with Tata to rapidly scale in one of the world’s fastest-growing compute markets, fuelled by rising PC demand and rapid AI adoption across India,” said Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan.
