Tata Electronics, a pioneering leader in India’s electronics and semiconductor manufacturing sector, and Enomoto Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese precision semiconductor component manufacturer, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance the semiconductor packaging ecosystem in India, and support Tata Electronics’ packaging facility in Jagiroad, Assam.
As part of the collaboration, Enomoto will leverage its R&D capabilities, technical know-how, and next-generation solutions to accelerate semiconductor packaging readiness for the Jagiroad facility. The company will also explore localizing lead frame manufacturing in India, strengthening the domestic supply chain for a critical semiconductor packaging component. The partnership will further assess opportunities for technology transfer, engineering collaboration, and capability development, supporting the creation of an integrated and resilient semiconductor value chain in India.
Dr. Randhir Thakur, CEO & MD of Tata Electronics, said, “Building a globally competitive semiconductor ecosystem requires deep localisation across the value chain, from materials and components to manufacturing and packaging. We are pleased to partner with Enomoto, and this collaboration is an important step in developing a robust supplier ecosystem for our packaging facility in Assam. By combining Enomoto's expertise in precision manufacturing with Tata Electronics' commitment to building world-class semiconductor capabilities, we are laying the foundation for a trusted, globally integrated semiconductor ecosystem in India.”
Mr. Homare Shiratori, CEO, Enomoto Co. Ltd., said, “Enomoto has built a strong legacy of delivering high-quality and cost-effective solutions tailored to customers’ needs. Through our strategic partnership with Tata Electronics, we will combine our precision component manufacturing expertise with Tata Electronics’ advanced OSAT capabilities to support its expanding semiconductor ambitions in India and in global markets.”
Tata Electronics is building India’s first indigenous high-volume packaging facility in Jagiroad, Assam, with an investment of US$ 3 billion. By developing partnerships with global leaders in semiconductor technology, equipment and materials, Tata Electronics continues to augment its capabilities and support the creation of a thriving domestic supplier ecosystem, to serve global customers.
With an established manufacturing network across Asia and a growing international customer base, Enomoto is seeking to expand its presence in India through its partnership with Tata Electronics. This move will position the company to participate in one of the world’s fastest-growing semiconductor markets and support its long-term growth.
