Tata Electronics, a group company under the $103 billion Tata Sons conglomerate, is set to establish the country’s first commercial chip fabrication plant utilising an older technology to focus on a market segment for semiconductor designs from external customers, said an official with knowledge of the project. This would mark the first time the Indian government allocates resources to support establishing a chip making unit. The Tata Group had earlier reported the creation of India’s maiden integrated device manufacturer (IDM) in the country, a unit that designs and produces semiconductor chips in-house.

Tata Electronics Pvt. It will use technology far older than planned to produce India’s first semiconductor wafers, coming from a country with virtually no history of the sophisticated technology, highlighting how much work it will need to do to catch up. The tech unit of the sprawling Tata conglomerate will use 90-nanometer process technology for a large part of its first chip fab, which will be located in Dholera, a city in the western state of Gujarat, according to the sources.

That’s a very mature technology used in low-end industrial applications and cars – one that might even be obsolete in the coming years. It’s a more humble beginning compared with the 28nm node which Tata Sons Pvt., the group’s holding company, said would be the first step of its chipmaking innings in its annual report for the year ended March 2025.
It has been observed that Tata’s public plans could have been aspirational regarding what is realistically possible on the ground in the next couple of years. Tata’s entry into chipmaking involves a partnership with Taiwanese rival Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp.

The STM32U3B5/C5 are the first STM32U3 devices featuring 2 MB of flash and our new hardware signal processor (HSP). In a nutshell, the HSP is an embedded signal processor that accelerates certain computations, enabling a whole range of industrial and AI applications on our ultra-low-power microcontroller. While the new models retain the near-threshold design that allowed the STM32U3 series to boost efficiency by a factor of four, the HSP opens the way for sensing and machine learning programs that would have been too demanding before. We wrote an accompanying blog post on the new hardware signal processor to help avid readers grasp the performance gains and what it means for the STM32 community.

What’s new? The new STM32U3B5/C5

The STM32U3B5/C5 primarily stands out from the other STM32U3 devices thanks to its HSP. It’s also why it carries double the flash memory of previous models and 640 KB of RAM, as we expect developers to need a much greater capacity for larger applications and datasets. The new device also comes with one additional group of interfaces, bringing the total to four SPI and I2C, two I3C and CAN-FD, and five UARTs. There are also five more 16-bit timers, for a total of 10. The only difference between the STM32U3B5 and the STM32U3C5 is that the latter includes a cryptocore to accelerate encryption and decryption operations, as well as offer CCB (see more on that later).

What makes the STM32U3 series special? Ultra-low-power consumption and high energy efficiency

One number sums up the efficiency of the STM32U3: at 117 Coremark/mW, it breaks the 100 symbolic threshold, literally making it a new benchmark in the industry. Indeed, most of the best devices from the competition hover below 100, and the STM32U5 reached 53.9. This significant jump in energy efficiency is due to our near-threshold design. We dedicated an entire blog article to this region of CMOS transistors that many are trying to utilize, but that has remained mainly in the background until now due to its inherent challenges.

0.65 V minimum and 105ºC maximum

In a nutshell, near-threshold conduction in a CMOS transistor occurs when applying a voltage between the gate and the source near a threshold (VT). In most of the devices used in a microcontroller like the STM32U3, that threshold is 500 mV. The vast majority of near-threshold designs apply a VGS of about 700 mV or more. And since near-threshold conduction is a diffusion current as residual leakage current flows under the gate oxide, the transistor itself experiences strict limitations in its operating voltage and temperatures. Most competing devices don’t go above 85ºC, which is why we don’t usually find these devices in industrial applications.

The STM32U3 is different because, thanks to unique optimization in the lithographic processes and manufacturing, ST can apply a lower voltage of 650 mV. The most direct benefit of a VGS value that’s closer to VT is that it helps lower the VCORE further, meaning that we can reach a minimum of 0.65 V and a typical value of 0.75 V. Additionally, as we are experiencing significantly less leakage current than competing solutions, the STM32U3 supports an operating voltage of up to 3 V and a temperature of 105ºC. It can, therefore, tolerate far harsher environments. Hence, the STM32U3 is unique because it makes near-threshold designs mainstream in most industrial applications.

Adaptive Voltage Scaling

Another issue common in near-threshold designs is die variability. Because the near-threshold region is sensitive to the smallest voltage variations, it affects dies on the same wafer more significantly. That’s why tuning each die to account for changes between them can be time-consuming and costly. To solve this challenge, ST implemented a testing system at the factory level, which automates machine learning on STM32 devices. We call it Adaptive Voltage Scaling. Simply put, our machines test each die, and a machine learning algorithm automatically tweaks various aspects to ensure consistent ultra-low-power consumption.

Versatile peripheral offering without compromising cost efficiency

Another challenge of near-threshold designs is performance. Indeed, as the VCORE is low, so is the operating frequency. However, that is not the case with the STM32U3, which features a Cortex-M33 running at 96 MHz. Moreover, we ensured that despite its more cost-effective pricing, engineers would still get a lot of peripherals and timers. Indeed, the new device supports two I3C buses, CAN-FD, one octo-SPI interface, and more. It also comes with 16 timers, including two 16-bit ones for motor control applications, and a touch-sensing controller for those working on a UI.

Robust safety and security for sensitive and mission-critical applications

Besides efficiency and performance, ST also designed the STM32U3 for safety and security. Consequently, the new device offers up to 1 MB of dual bank flash, enabling firmware updates without shutting the system down, which is often a critical consideration in mission-critical applications. The STM32U3 also introduces CCB to securely transmit keys by using independent buses ([patent filed in 2023 and 2024]). And we’ve already updated STM32CubeMX, our initialization tool. After activating the random number generator, users can select “CCB” in the list of cryptographic options and start using the feature. Finally, the STM32U3 can also target PSA L3 and SESIP3 certifications.

What’s next

To ensure the STM32U3 can reach numerous industrial applications, we are offering eight packages, which is unique for a near-threshold design. We are also releasing a Nucleo board to help developers rapidly design a proof-of-concept or run their tests to witness the ultra-low-power consumption for themselves. SmaXtec, a member of the ST Partner Program specializing in bovine monitoring already shared how,

The effective implementation of India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) on July 15, 2026, highlights a significant growth for India’s automotive and electric vehicle (EV) sector. This agreement is a landmark free trade that eliminates custom duties on thousands of products, significantly boosting exports and foreign-investment by encouraging UK companies to invest in India through supply chains and manufacturing facilities. It was introduced by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Stamer, officially signed in July 2025 by both nations with the primary objective of expanding bilateral trade and investment.

The CETA establishes a comprehensive framework for creating new opportunities for Indian EV manufacturers, component suppliers, and battery companies by reducing traffic barriers and improving market access. Indian automakers like Tata Motors, Mahindra, and Maruti Suzuki can export up to 88,000 vehicles to the UK completely duty-free and scale their domestic manufacturing by integrating domestic MSME suppliers deeper into the UK and global EV supply chains.

The UK gains benefits by this agreement through deepened cooperation with India’s expanding clean energy and technology sector. The CETA provides UK businesses with improved access to India’s rapidly growing market and creating opportunities for greater trade and investment. This agreement improves the UK economy by granting tariff cuts on 90% of UK exports to India, lowering costs for UK consumers, and improving market access for British products.

The agreement is fully active and remain operational to its provisions on implementation. The future goal is to double bilateral trade to 100-120 billion by 2030. The current status of this agreement is that it operates alongside the Double Contribution Convention (DCC), a social security pact that saves Indian companies up to $600 million annually by exempting Indian professionals working temporarily in the UK from paying social security contributions in both countries simultaneously.

The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) Programme introduced by Atal Bihari Vajpayee government following the Kargil War was developed by Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). It is designed to destroy both high-altitude and low- altitude incoming enemy missiles by employing a two-tier, multi-layered missile defence architecture. The objective of this system is to provide more than one opportunity to destroy an incoming missile before it reaches its target using multiple layers of detection, tracking, command-and-control, and interceptor missiles (or Anti-Ballistic Missiles).

India has successfully enhanced its indigenous missile defence capabilities after DRDO successfully demonstrated a series of flight tests conducted on June 10 and 11, 2026, which reinforce the ability of Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) system to counter evolving long- range ballistic missile threats. The test comprised three consecutive flight trials of the Phase-2 BMD system in which interceptor missiles successfully detected, tracked, and neutralized the enemy missile attack for testing purposes. The trial also included the maiden flight test of the Naval Anti-Ship Missile Medium Range (NASM-MR), showcasing DRDO’s progress in both air and maritime defence systems.

India’s indigenous BMD architecture is designed for a multi-layered interception strategy where it can destroy enemy hostile missiles by operating at two distinct interception layers — outside the earth’s atmosphere and within Earth’s atmosphere. India is updating its defence system that can handle more complex threats such as hypersonic missiles and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBs). The BMD system uses AD-1 and AD-2 which are advanced, high-speed interceptor missiles used to destroy long range threats travelling at extremely high speed and in different weather conditions.

Through these trial tests BMS introduced new defence advance technologies such as latest interceptor designed to address complex flight trajectories, advanced tracking radars to destroy enemy missiles, capabilities of AD-1 interceptor, and improvement in target tracking. As missile technologies continue to evolve, future BMD systems are expected to incorporate artificial intelligence, machine learning, and more capable interceptor technologies.
