Qualcomm Technologies, Inc and Tata Electronics have signed an agreement to manufacture Qualcomm automotive modules in India. Production will take place at Tata Electronics’ upcoming semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam, according to a joint statement released on Friday.
Through this partnership, Tata Electronics becomes part of Qualcomm’s worldwide network of module manufacturing partners, created to meet rising demand for modular automotive platforms. The initiative also supports the Make in India programme by bringing advanced automotive electronics production to the country.
The collaboration will enable local manufacturing of technologies used in digital cockpit systems, infotainment, vehicle connectivity, and advanced driver-support features. It is expected to serve both domestic and global automakers while improving supply chain resilience and regional manufacturing capability.
Qualcomm automotive modules combine Snapdragon Digital Chassis system-on-chip technology with essential components into ready-to-use units for vehicle manufacturers. These integrated platforms are designed to support the industry’s move toward software-defined vehicles and scalable electronic architectures.
Nakul Duggal, Executive Vice President and Group General Manager for Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT, and Robotics at Qualcomm Technologies, said the partnership represents an important step in the company’s automotive expansion plans. He noted that increasing manufacturing capacity in key regions is essential as the automotive sector shifts toward integrated module-based systems.
Savi Soin, Senior Vice President and President of Qualcomm India, added that producing modules in India with Tata Electronics will help the company support both Indian and global vehicle manufacturers with greater flexibility and stronger supply chain support.
Randhir Thakur, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Tata Electronics, said the agreement aligns with the company’s goal of building India into a global centre for advanced manufacturing. He added that Tata Electronics will use its Integrated Systems Packaging solutions to deliver high-quality products that support Qualcomm’s global technology roadmap. The partnership reflects growing collaboration between semiconductor companies and electronics manufacturers as the automotive industry adopts connected, software-driven vehicle technologies.
