Overview
- Tata Electronics and ASML signed a partnership on Saturday in The Hague, witnessed by Narendra Modi and Rob Jetten, to establish and ramp a 300 mm semiconductor fab in Dholera, Gujarat.
- ASML will provide deep‑ultraviolet lithography machines, on‑site technical support, workforce training, and research setups to speed the plant’s start‑up and build local skills.
- Tata’s facility is planned for about 50,000 wafers per month at 28–110 nm process nodes, with total investment near ₹91,000 crore (about $11–12 billion), according to company statements and multiple reports.
- Media reports say public incentives could cover roughly 70% of project costs, while detailed funding approvals, construction timelines, and anchor customer commitments have yet to be confirmed.
- The deal builds on Tata’s technology tie‑up with Taiwan’s PSMC and comes as India and the Netherlands elevate ties to a strategic partnership with an eye to an India–EU FTA and a more resilient chip supply chain.
