Tata and Intel team up for $14bn chip deal
Tata Electronics and Intel are joining forces to make AI laptop chips right here in India, with a new semiconductor plant in Gujarat and a chip-testing facility in Assam.
This big move is set to boost India's role in the global AI PC market, which could be a top 5 player by 2030.
What's the investment?
Tata is putting $14 billion into its semiconductor facilities, including a chip factory in Gujarat and an assembly/testing unit in Assam.
The Assam plant will start testing chips by mid-2026, while full-scale production kicks off in Gujarat from 2027.
Why does this matter?
By combining Tata's manufacturing skills with Intel's AI chip designs, this collaboration could help India rely less on foreign tech for its gadgets.
It's also a big step toward making India a serious contender in the world of semiconductors and AI hardware.
