Dutch chipmaker Nexperia has partnered with Tata Electronics to manufacture and package chips in India. The deal marks another step in the company's separation from Chinese parent Wingtech.
Nexperia announced the partnership with Tata Electronics on Thursday, establishing a significant manufacturing and packaging operation in India. The move expands the Dutch chipmaker's production capacity outside of China.
The India facility will handle both chip manufacturing and packaging services, strengthening Nexperia's supply chain independence. This follows the company's ongoing transition away from its Chinese parent company Wingtech.
The partnership aligns with broader industry trends as chipmakers diversify production away from China. India has emerged as a key destination for semiconductor manufacturing, supported by government incentives and efforts to build domestic chip capabilities.
Nexperia designs and manufactures standard semiconductors used across automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics sectors. The Tata collaboration gives the company access to India's growing manufacturing ecosystem while reducing reliance on Chinese operations.
