Nexperia says it will partner with Tata on chip production, packaging in India

Dutch semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia has announced a major collaboration with Tata Electronics to manufacture and package computer chips in India, following a split from its Chinese parent company, Wingtech. The partnership will see Nexperia and Tata produce a range of Nexperia's power control chips at a $11 billion plant being built in Dholera, India.

Additionally, the companies will collaborate on testing and assembling chips at Tata's packaging facility in Jagiroad. No financial details were disclosed for the deal.Furthermore, the collaboration will extend to developing future technology, marking a significant step in Tata Electronics' efforts to establish a competitive semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in India, according to Tata's CEO, Randhir Thakur.Nexperia is a key player in the production of simple chips used extensively in the automotive and consumer electronics sectors.

The company's dispute with Wingtech began in September 2025, triggered by a Dutch state intervention aimed at preventing the company's relocation to China. In retaliation, Beijing imposed a temporary ban on exports of Nexperia's chips, which were packaged in Dongguan, leading to chip shortages for car manufacturers. The situation improved after the governments withdrew their actions, but the company continues to operate along national lines.

A Dutch court recently ruled in favor of Nexperia, stripping Wingtech of control. Nexperia's new partnership with Tata was endorsed by the company's current management board.
