Cyient and Navitas Form Partnership for GaN Technology in India
Filing Summary
Cyient Semiconductors and Navitas Semiconductor have announced a strategic partnership to advance gallium nitride (GaN) technology adoption in India. The collaboration aims to develop GaN products and establish a local supply chain, supporting the Indian Government’s “Make in India” initiative. The partnership will focus on high-voltage, high-power market segments, including AI data centers and electric mobility. This initiative is intended to empower Indian design houses and OEMs with locally sourced GaN components. The partnership was announced on December 8, 2025, with no specific financial terms disclosed.
Cyient Semiconductors and Navitas Semiconductor have entered into a strategic partnership to promote the adoption of gallium nitride (GaN) technology in India. The collaboration was announced on December 8, 2025, and aims to establish a comprehensive GaN ecosystem in the country. The partnership will focus on developing GaN products, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits, and GaN-based system modules for high-voltage, high-power market segments such as AI data centers, electric mobility, and industrial electrification.
The filing does not disclose specific financial terms or payment structures related to the partnership. However, the collaboration is intended to support the Indian Government’s “Make in India” initiative by building a robust local supply chain and manufacturing ecosystem. This strategic move is expected to facilitate the development of GaN technology tailored to India’s unique market needs, although no financial figures or projections are provided in the filing.
The operational scope of the partnership includes co-developing GaN products and design enablement platforms. The collaboration aims to accelerate solution development for high-voltage and high-power markets by leveraging Navitas’ existing GaN technologies and Cyient Semiconductors’ design, manufacturing, and supply-chain capabilities. The partnership seeks to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that will enable faster development cycles and reduce barriers to GaN adoption in India.
The partnership is positioned within the context of India’s growing semiconductor industry and the government’s efforts to promote local manufacturing. By establishing a local supply chain and ecosystem for GaN products, the collaboration aims to reduce time to market for developers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across the region. This initiative aligns with Cyient Semiconductors’ ambition to drive semiconductor innovation, localization, and scalability across critical technology sectors.
The timeline for the implementation of this partnership and specific milestones have not been detailed in the filing. The announcement highlights the involvement of both Cyient Semiconductors and Navitas Semiconductor in co-developing and deploying GaN technology solutions, but no specific dates or phases are mentioned.
