Tata Electronics has partnered with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) to produce the high-end chips of 14 nm. They also plan to manufacture 28 nm chips at their fabrication unit at Dholera, Gujarat.

The 14 nm chips could be incorporated in very small components — these become efficient, powerful and faster. It will attract a huge order book.

Currently, 28-90 nm chips have a 50 per cent market share. Tata’s fabrication unit at Dholena will have a capacity of 50,000 wafers per month and will produce 3 billion chips every year. These chips will cater to high-performance computing, electric vehicles and consumer electronics. The fab plant will serve both the commercial as well as strategic sectors.

The first chip from the plan is expected to hit the market by the end of 2026.

Apart from the fab unit, the Group is investing in an ATMP project in Assam. It will start commercial production by late 2025 or early 2026.
