BEL, Tata Electronics Tie Up To Build Indigenous Semiconductor Ecosystem

Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) and Tata Electronics Pvt. Ltd. have teamed up to co-develop electronic and semiconductor solutions, aiming to boost domestic manufacturing capabilities. The defence PSU announced the agreement on Friday, calling it a strategic move to address India’s growing demand for indigenous tech infrastructure.

The two companies plan to collaborate on semiconductor fabrication, chip assembly, and design services. Tata Electronics will support BEL’s needs for microcontrollers, SoCs, MMICs, and other processors critical to defence and industrial electronics.

They also intend to work together on streamlining manufacturing processes by sharing technical know-how and best practices. The partnership comes at a time when India is ramping up efforts to reduce its dependency on foreign semiconductor supply chains.
