If you’re eyeing a Tata EV, the big news is that the company is lining up a massive semiconductor plant that will churn out the power chips you need.
The Dholera 300‑mm fab, costing ₹91,000 crore, will run 28‑nm to 110‑nm nodes—just the right scale for automotive power modules.
Nexperia will supply its MOSFET line, and Fujifilm will build a materials plant to feed the fab, keeping the supply chain in India.
While Tata gains a home‑grown chip base, rivals like Hyundai and Mahindra still import most of their power semiconductors, making their EVs pricier and less resilient to global supply shocks.
The move dovetails with India’s push for local manufacturing under the 2026 EV mandate, which seeks to bring 30% of all vehicles on the road under domestic component rules.
The fab is slated to go live by the end of 2028, with Tata’s first EV models expected to roll out in 2029, giving buyers a chance to see tangible savings and a more reliable powertrain.
