Bosch, a global leader in mobility technologies, is looking to boost its electronics sourcing by partnering with local firms. The company sees rising demand for advanced automotive electronics as key to the future of mobility.

Its upcoming chip plant in Dholera, Gujarat, is being developed with support from global players like Taiwan’s PSMC, Himax Technologies, US-based Synopsys, and Japan’s Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL), bringing world-class chipmaking expertise to India.

Bosch also recently began exporting chips — a major step for a country that has mostly relied on imports for semiconductors. While initial exports are small, they mark a big shift in India’s industrial journey.
