ROHM Co., Ltd. and Suchi Semicon Pvt. Ltd. have announced a strategic partnership to strengthen semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in India and support growing demand from both domestic and global markets.

The collaboration combines ROHM’s expertise in semiconductor device technology and global market presence with Suchi Semicon’s manufacturing capabilities and operational execution. Together, the companies aim to build a scalable and reliable manufacturing framework aligned with evolving industry requirements.

The partnership aligns with India’s “Make in India” initiative to expand domestic semiconductor production while maintaining global manufacturing standards. By establishing local capabilities, the companies aim to enhance supply chain resilience and provide trusted manufacturing solutions for customers.

As part of the collaboration, ROHM is evaluating the outsourcing of back-end processes for power semiconductor devices and integrated circuits to Suchi Semicon.

Key elements of the initiative include:

  • Technical evaluations for manufacturing readiness
  • Potential mass production shipments starting in 2026
  • Development of an early-stage semiconductor manufacturing framework in India

The companies also plan to share a roadmap to expand the range of locally manufactured semiconductor packages, gradually broadening the scope of production activities.

Beyond manufacturing, the partnership will also focus on business development and market engagement. Both companies recognize increasing demand for locally manufactured semiconductors in India, particularly across industries such as automotive, industrial electronics, and energy systems.

To address this opportunity, ROHM and Suchi Semicon plan to:

  • Conduct joint marketing initiatives leveraging Suchi Semicon’s local market expertise
  • Expand collaboration into additional semiconductor ecosystem activities
  • Explore new business opportunities aligned with India’s growing electronics sector

The companies emphasized that the alliance is intended to evolve into a long-term strategic partnership, supporting the sustainable growth of India’s semiconductor industry while strengthening global supply chains.
