Tokyo Electron Ltd., Japan’s leading chip equipment manufacturer, is planning to build a team of engineers in India as part of its strategy to align with the Indian government’s push to expand semiconductor manufacturing in the country.
This move is expected to take shape around 2026, with the initial focus on providing technical services to Tata Electronics Pvt. The company’s CEO, Toshiki Kawai, has indicated that robotics will increasingly play a role in this initiative, with local engineers receiving both in-person and remote support from Japan. However, details regarding the number of engineers to be hired were not disclosed.
India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is making significant efforts to attract international electronics companies and chipmakers to establish manufacturing facilities within its borders. This initiative is part of a broader plan to narrow the technological gap with advanced economies. Companies like Apple Inc. are already ramping up production in India, while domestic giants like Tata Group are investing heavily in semiconductor fabrication plants.
The Indian government is offering substantial incentives to support these ventures, creating a fertile ground for companies like Tokyo Electron, which specialise in the machinery and expertise needed for semiconductor production.
Tokyo Electron, based in Tokyo, aims to hire 10,000 new employees globally over the next five years, reflecting the growing demand for domestic chip manufacturing in various countries.
The company is a key supplier to industry giants such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), Samsung Electronics Co., SK Hynix Inc., and Intel Corp. For the current business year ending in March, Tokyo Electron is projecting record revenue and operating profit, driven by a surge in demand for chips, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, and energy efficiency.
