Nexperia Partners With Tata Electronics to Expand Semiconductor Manufacturing in India

Dutch semiconductor company Nexperia and India’s Tata Electronics have announced a broad strategic partnership covering chip manufacturing, assembly, testing, technology development and semiconductor ecosystem expansion. The agreement, announced on September 17, 2026, will connect Nexperia’s semiconductor expertise with Tata Electronics’ expanding manufacturing infrastructure in India. The companies said the partnership is designed to create more flexible production capacity and strengthen supply-chain resilience while supporting the development of India’s semiconductor industry.

A major part of the agreement involves Nexperia’s MOSFET semiconductor portfolio. The companies are laying the groundwork to manufacture these chips at Tata Electronics’ planned 300mm semiconductor fabrication plant in Dholera, Gujarat. MOSFETs are widely used in electronics because they can control and switch electrical power, making them important components in products ranging from automobiles and industrial equipment to consumer electronics and energy systems. Tata Electronics is developing the Dholera facility with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, with the project expected to use mature process technologies.

The partnership will also extend to the back end of semiconductor production. Nexperia and Tata Electronics plan to collaborate on the assembly and testing of Nexperia’s discrete semiconductor products at Tata Electronics’ packaging facility in Jagiroad, Assam. This means the cooperation will cover multiple stages of the semiconductor value chain rather than focusing solely on wafer fabrication. The companies will additionally explore technology development, research and broader ecosystem initiatives, combining Nexperia’s experience in discrete, power and analog semiconductors with Tata Electronics’ growing manufacturing capabilities.

The agreement comes as Tata Electronics accelerates efforts to establish a wider semiconductor ecosystem in India. At SEMICON India 2026, Tata Electronics announced a series of partnerships covering areas including semiconductor materials, advanced packaging, equipment, chip design, supply-chain localisation and workforce development. The company is developing its Dholera fabrication facility and an assembly-and-test operation in Assam, while working with international and Indian partners to establish the suppliers, technologies and skills required to support large-scale semiconductor production.

For Nexperia, the partnership also comes at an important moment as the company seeks to expand and diversify its manufacturing network. Reuters reported that the agreement further strengthens Nexperia’s separation from its Chinese parent company, Wingtech, amid wider concerns over semiconductor supply chains and geopolitical dependencies. By working with Tata Electronics in India, Nexperia will have an additional manufacturing pathway for some of its products, while India gains another international semiconductor partner as it attempts to establish itself as a significant player in global chip manufacturing. The companies have not disclosed financial terms or specific production volumes for the new partnership.
