Mumbai (India)/The Hague (The Netherlands), May 16, 2026: Tata Electronics, a pioneering leader in India’s electronics and semiconductor manufacturing sector, and ASML, one of the world’s leading semiconductor equipment manufacturing companies, today, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in India. Through this partnership, ASML will enable the establishment and successful ramp of Tata Electronics’ upcoming 300 mm (12 inch) semiconductor Fab in Dholera, Gujarat. This collaboration is an important step in the context of the intensifying strategic collaboration between India and The Netherlands in the field of critical technologies, such as semiconductor technology.

The collaboration between Tata Electronics and ASML will focus on deploying ASML’s holistic suite of advanced lithography tools and solutions for the Dholera Fab. The use of ASML’s industry-leading technologies is expected to ensure seamless operations at India’s first commercial 300 mm semiconductor Fab, delivering value to Tata Electronics’ customers. The two companies will cooperate to develop domestic talent, supply chain, and research initiatives to support the long-term success of Tata Electronics’ Dholera Fab. 

Dr. Randhir Thakur, CEO & MD of Tata Electronics, said, “We are excited to partner with ASML, a company known for its innovation and leadership in lithography, and for enabling semiconductor customers globally. ASML’s deep expertise in holistic lithography solutions will ensure the timely ramp of our Fab in Dholera, create a resilient and trusted supply chain for our global customers, drive innovation, and develop talent locally. This foundational partnership with ASML brings a shared commitment to the highest standards of quality, yield, and manufacturing excellence, and it will go a long way in building a strong semiconductor ecosystem in India.”

Christophe Fouquet, President & CEO, ASML, added: “India’s rapidly expanding semiconductor sector represents many compelling opportunities, and we are committed to establishing long-term partnerships in the region.
