Cyient Semiconductors has announced a major milestone in its growth journey, confirming its qualification for a crucial contract in the ₹4,500-crore modernization program at the Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL) in Mohali. The company, known for its custom ASIC turnkey solutions and intelligent power technologies, will be providing and qualifying technology IPs that form the foundation of SCL’s upgraded fabrication capabilities.
The modernization initiative is a central pillar of the Government of India’s India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), which aims to expand domestic chipmaking capacity, reduce dependence on imports, and make semiconductor manufacturing more accessible for startups, academia, and strategic sectors. By contributing updated process technology platforms, Cyient Semiconductors is set to play a meaningful role in strengthening the nation’s semiconductor ecosystem.
As part of the mandate, the company will deliver three essential process technologies for SCL’s enhanced 8-inch fab line—RF-CMOS, BCD (HV LDMOS), and CMOS Image Sensor (CIS). These technologies are widely used in industrial automation, automotive systems, smart energy solutions, advanced sensing applications, and connectivity devices. Their integration is expected to expand the utility and competitiveness of India’s mature-node semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
This development further positions Cyient Semiconductors as a leading turnkey ASIC provider in India, covering the full chip lifecycle from concept and specification to design, development, and silicon production. The company’s expertise in smart energy semiconductors and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) aligns closely with the evolving needs of global and domestic electronics markets.
By qualifying for these updated technology platforms, Cyient Semiconductors will enable SCL to support a broader range of applications in the coming years. Potential areas of impact include smart energy and metering, industrial control systems, automotive electronics in select categories, imaging and sensing products, and low-power wireless or IoT devices—segments where mature-node processes continue to remain relevant and cost-efficient.
