BENGALURU, (REUTERS) – Analog Devices and Indian salt-to-aviation conglomerate Tata Group have signed a pact to explore making semiconductor products in India, the U.S. chipmaker said on September 18.

Tata Electronics, the electronics-manufacturing arm of the 156-year-old group, is investing a total of $14 billion to build India’s first semiconductor fabrication facility in Gujarat state and a chip-assembly and testing facility in the state of Assam.

Construction of the Tata Group’s semiconductor plant was greenlit by India earlier this year.

Tata Electronics and ADI intend to explore opportunities to manufacture ADI’s products in Tata Electronics’ fab in Gujarat and the facility in Assam, Analog Devices said.

Under the deal with ADI, Tata will also use the chipmaker’s products in Tata Motors’s electric vehicles and Tejas Networks’ telecom infrastructure, the companies said.

The companies did not specify what products would be made in India or what products would be used by Tata.
