Cyient Semiconductors, a provider of custom ASIC turnkey and intelligent power solutions, has been qualified to supply and validate technology IPs for the ₹4,500-crore modernization of the Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL) in Mohali. The initiative is part of India’s broader India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), which aims to expand domestic semiconductor capabilities, reduce reliance on imports, and provide accessible fabrication capacity for startups, academia, and strategic sectors.
Under the mandate, Cyient Semiconductors will supply and qualify three foundational process technologies—RF-CMOS, BCD (HV LDMOS), and CMOS Image Sensor (CIS)—for SCL’s upgraded 8-inch wafer line. These technologies are widely used across industrial, automotive, energy, sensing, and connectivity applications, and are critical to enhancing the relevance and utility of India’s mature-node semiconductor infrastructure.
“Being technically qualified for this strategic project is a proud moment for Cyient Semiconductors and a strong validation of our engineering depth, IP portfolio, and turnkey execution capabilities,” said Krishna Bodanapu, Executive Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Cyient Limited. “Our collaboration with SCL will accelerate India’s semiconductor self-reliance by delivering high-value silicon solutions in digital, analog mixed-signal, and power domains—areas that continue to see robust global demand.”
Suman Narayan, CEO of Cyient Semiconductors, added that the company’s expertise in RF-CMOS, BCD, and CIS technologies positions it well to support SCL’s modernization efforts. “This program enables us to leverage our capabilities for a national mission, strengthening India’s semiconductor ecosystem while addressing critical technology needs,” he said.
The project aligns with Cyient’s strategic focus on high-growth segments, including smart energy semiconductors and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). By qualifying for these upgraded technology platforms, the company will enable SCL to potentially support a wider range of applications in the future, including automotive electronics, industrial control systems, imaging and sensing solutions, smart energy and metering devices, and low-power IoT solutions.
