New Delhi witnessed a landmark announcement Friday as Qualcomm Technologies and Tata Electronics forged ahead with plans to produce Qualcomm Automotive Modules at the latter’s cutting-edge semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam. This partnership embodies the ‘Make in India’ vision by bringing automotive innovations like digital cockpits, infotainment, connectivity, and AI-driven vehicle systems to local production lines.
The initiative responds to booming requirements from automakers globally and locally, fortifying supply chains with greater flexibility and variety.
Tata’s inclusion in Qualcomm’s worldwide module production ecosystem positions it to tackle escalating global needs for modular auto platforms. At the core, these modules fuse Snapdragon Digital Chassis SoCs with vital components, supplying vehicle builders with comprehensive, production-ready electronic frameworks.
Engineered for simplicity, the modules accelerate development and yield adaptable, deployment-ready structures, aiding the pivot to software-centric vehicles.
Qualcomm executive Nakul Duggal stressed the imperative of ramping up production in strategic locales as modular architectures gain traction. Qualcomm India head Savi Soin elaborated on how integrated solutions simplify designs and hasten next-generation vehicle rollouts.
Leveraging Tata’s Indian footprint enhances Qualcomm’s service to OEMs with resilient logistics. The $3 billion Jagiroad greenfield site, India’s inaugural OSAT venture, masters advanced packaging like wire bond, flip chip, and ISP, targeting automotive, IoT, AI, and communication sectors.
This collaboration signals India’s ascent as a semiconductor powerhouse, driving job opportunities, technological sovereignty, and contributions to the electric and connected vehicle revolution.
