MediaTek expands India footprint. The company has now announced to have leased about 1.04 lakh sq ft at BPTP Capital City in Sector 94, Noida, to set up what is described as its second R&D hub in India after Bengaluru. The transaction is estimated at roughly ?144 crore over a 10-year term.
The new centre is expected to strengthen MediaTek’s talent pool and research capabilities in India. A MediaTek spokesperson said the Noida facility aligns with the company’s effort to expand its talent base and deepen research work.
India is becoming a serious engineering and innovation location for global semiconductor players, not just a market for device sales.
For MediaTek, the Noida centre can help it tap into North India’s engineering ecosystem while complementing its existing R&D footprint in Bengaluru. For Noida, the deal adds another flagship technology tenant and reinforces its status as a corporate destination for advanced design and development work.
What MediaTek is building
MediaTek is one of Taiwan’s best-known semiconductor companies and supplies chips used across smartphones, smart devices, connected systems, and automotive applications.
Its India expansion comes at a time when it has also been increasing local R&D focus for automotive and EV-related opportunities.
That broader strategy matters because chip design, software integration, and application engineering are becoming central to product differentiation. A stronger India base gives MediaTek access to scalable engineering talent while helping it tailor solutions for the local market.
R&D and Cross-Functional Teams
Noida’s appeal is rising because it offers a mix of Grade-A office supply, access to engineering talent, and proximity to large enterprise and technology corridors.
BPTP Capital City’s positioning as a premium commercial development also fits the needs of global firms that want high-spec spaces for R&D and cross-functional teams.
The fact that MediaTek chose a sizable lease instead of a small satellite office suggests a longer-term commitment. That kind of footprint usually points to sustained hiring, collaboration, and engineering work rather than a short-term market test.
A Larger Shift
MediaTek’s move lands within a larger shift as global chip companies are increasingly looking at India as a place to design, develop, test, and support products.
That trend is being encouraged by India’s semiconductor policy push and by the need for companies to diversify engineering operations across geographies.
