Qualcomm and Tata Electronics announced at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 that Tata will manufacture Qualcomm's Snapdragon Digital Chassis automotive system-in-package modules at its upcoming Rs 27,000 crore OSAT in Jagiroad, Assam. This marks the first time these modules will be assembled in India and represents a marquee customer win for the Assam plant, with modules to be exported globally to Qualcomm's automotive customers.
Semicon Hunt -> partnership -> Qualcomm

Qualcomm Technologies and Tata Electronics announced a landmark partnership at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 on February 20, 2026, wherein Tata Electronics will manufacture Qualcomm's automotive system-in-package (SiP) modules at its upcoming Rs 27,000 crore OSAT facility in Jagiroad, Assam. This marks the first time Qualcomm's automotive modules will be assembled in India, and is a significant early customer win for the Assam plant ahead of its commercial commissioning.
The modules are based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Digital Chassis SoC platform and integrate a system-on-chip along with other components into a ready-to-use package for automakers. They power digital cockpits, infotainment systems, advanced connectivity, and intelligent vehicle architectures. Manmeet Singh, Qualcomm India's Senior Director and Business Head for Automotive, IoT and Broadband, confirmed that the modules will not be limited to the Indian market — they will be exported from India to Qualcomm's global automotive customers.
Qualcomm will continue to fabricate the underlying SoCs at advanced foundries outside India, since those chips run on 2nm and sub-5nm process nodes not yet available domestically. However, the module-level assembly and test — integrating the SoC with power management chips, RF components, and other elements into a packaged module — will be performed at the Assam OSAT. Tata Electronics said the Assam facility will deploy wire bond, flip chip, and Integrated Systems Packaging (ISIP) technologies. For Qualcomm, India becomes a new manufacturing base for its automotive modules. For Tata Electronics, Qualcomm becomes a marquee global customer validating the Assam plant's capabilities before commercial launch.
India's automotive industry is undergoing rapid electrification and software-defined vehicle transformation, creating surging demand for advanced chips in cockpit, ADAS, telematics, and powertrain systems. Domestic assembly of automotive modules reduces lead times and supply chain risk for Indian OEMs, while also creating the manufacturing depth needed to attract more global semiconductor companies to the country over time.
