Strategic partnership enhances India's semiconductor growth with advanced OSAT services and manufacturing collaborations underway.

An important step in strengthening India's semiconductor and electronics ecosystem has been taken with the strategic partnership between Taiwan's HorngCom Technology and Mumbai-based RRP Electronics to increase Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) capabilities in India.

After a successful technical assessment, a new line of production will be introduced at RRP's semiconductor factory in Mahape, Mumbai, under the tie-up to handle additional OSAT workloads. SIM cards, NAND memory chips, MOSFET components, and other ICs will be assembled and tested in the factory. The tie-up is likely to rake in $12 million in business this fiscal year.

The chairman of RRP Electronics, Rajendra Chodankar, explained, "This collaboration reflects our infrastructure preparedness and competencies." Chairman of HorngCom Elmer LingHu pointed out the potential of India as a leading hub in the international semiconductor value chain.

One of the major players in India's semiconductor mission is RRP Electronics. It recently sent a consignment worth ₹6.51 crore to a customer in Europe, making it the first Indian company to export packaged semiconductors under the Government of India's Semiconductor Mission (ISM).

RRP is also working with Deca Technologies, a U.S.-based company, to set up an advanced packaging foundry in India as part of a major push toward electronics self-reliance. In keeping with the nation's increasing trend of iPhone production, this facility will produce parts for Apple iPhones.

RRP has partnered with Singapore-based PTW to set up India's first large silicon wafer production facility as a move to further upgrade its semiconductor capabilities. Trial production is expected to begin in 2025–2026.

India's goals of making electronics and semiconductors, upgrading its position in global supply chains, and developing the "Make in India" concept are all considerably promoted by these efforts.
