India's semiconductor and electronics sectors are accelerating across multiple fronts, from AI-driven power-chip development and domestic EV battery technology to smartphone manufacturing and semiconductor supply-chain expansion. Industry executives and analysts say the shift reflects India's broader effort to move beyond assembly into higher-value chip design, power electronics, and localized technology ecosystems.
Interview: Cyient Semiconductors CEO on Kinetic acquisition — why power is the new compute bottleneck
As the semiconductor industry grapples with the growing energy demands of artificial intelligence, Cyient Semiconductors is repositioning itself away from being a primarily semiconductor engineering and ASIC services provider and toward a more product-oriented hybrid model centered on intelligent power and proprietary semiconductor products.
For India's chip dream, Lam Research points beyond fabs
As India's semiconductor ambitions move from policy announcements to execution, Lam Research sees the country's opportunity extending beyond fabs to the less visible ecosystem that will determine whether it can become a meaningful part of the global chip manufacturing supply chain.
L&T Semiconductor Technologies signs multiyear agreement with Synopsys for AI-enabled power module design
L&T Semiconductor Technologies' multiyear agreement with Synopsys to use AI-enabled multiphysics simulation software could accelerate the development of power modules and intelligent power modules, potentially affecting global electric mobility, renewable energy, and industrial automation by improving design efficiency, reliability, and time-to-market for next-generation power electronics, and by enhancing supply-chain resilience.
Dixon Technologies sees margin pressure as stagnation offsets full-year growth
Dixon Technologies reported fiscal 2026 results showing full-year revenue growth, but underlying profitability momentum weakened toward the end of the year, with a flat fourth quarter and mounting cost pressures across its core electronics manufacturing services (EMS) business.
India's smartphone shipments fall in 1Q26, signaling value-led market shift
India's smartphone shipments fell 4.1% year over year to 31.0 million units in the first quarter of 2026, according to IDC. Rising memory prices and subdued consumer demand pushed average selling prices higher, reshaping the balance between volume and value in the world's second-largest smartphone market — and signaling a structural shift that carries significant implications for global suppliers.
Indian firms step up EV battery development amid China technology concerns
Indian conglomerates are accelerating efforts to develop domestic electric vehicle (EV) and battery technologies as access to Chinese know-how becomes increasingly uncertain.
