has hailed the alliance with US-based Deca Technologies, Inc., calling it a
gamechanger for Maharashtra and the nation. This collaboration will accelerate
our ambitious plans and strengthen India’s position in the global semiconductor
value chain, said Rajendra K. Chodankar while addressing as a keynote speaker
at Gujarat SemiConnect 2025.

Rajendra K. Chodankar
expressed his enthusiasm stating, “We are blessed to partner with HMT Zurich,
AMB Taiwan and more recently US based Deca Technologies. We are investing in a
large-scale Technology Transfer License Agreement (TTLA) with Deca
Technologies, a leader in advanced semiconductor packaging with backing from
industry giants like Qualcomm, Infineon, and ASE Group. This partnership will
take semiconductor packaging in India to new heights. We aim to complete our
qualification tests by August 2025 and foresee revenue exceeding USD 30 million
(about ₹260 crore) in just the second year of operations, with exponential
growth in the years to come.”
Currently, RRP is
collaborating on a high-profile project for a Swiss customer, focused on the
production of sophisticated ASICs in QFN packages, further demonstrating
commitment to excellence and innovation in the electronics sector.
RRP Electronics is
spearheading a massive ₹12,035 crore, phase 1 Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly
Test (OSAT) initiative, and 24000 crore fab set to establish a cutting-edge
semiconductor manufacturing and assembly facility in Maharashtra. The Government
of Maharashtra is backing this initiative, recognizing its potential to drive
economic growth and technological advancement in the region.
In September 2024, RRP
Electronics inaugurated a world-class facility equipped with next-generation
manufacturing technology. This initiative is expected to create around 4,000
jobs, bolstering the local economy and cementing Maharashtra’s status as a
global semiconductor hub.
