Navitas and Cyient partner to accelerate GaN adoption in India
Navitas Semiconductor Corp of Torrance, CA, USA — which provides GaNFast gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors — and ASIC/ASSP and power solutions provider Cyient Semiconductor Pte Ltd of Hyderabad, India have announced a strategic long-term partnership intended to advance the adoption of GaN technology in India and establish a complete end-to-end GaN ecosystem.
Navitas and Cyient intend to co-develop GaN products, digital and mixed-signal ICs, GaN-based system modules and design enablement platforms targeting India’s high-voltage, high-power market segments such as AI data centers, electric mobility, performance computing, energy grid infrastructure and industrial electrification.
The partnership seeks to build a robust local supply chain and manufacturing ecosystem in support of the Indian Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. In addition, Navitas and Cyient aim to deploy IC technology in accelerating solution development for high-voltage and high-power markets.
This is expected to include products based on Navitas’ existing GaN technologies, along with new products tailored for India’s unique market needs. Cyient’s work in establishing a secure local supply chain and ecosystem for GaN products in India should further accelerate time to market for developers and OEMs across the region.
“This partnership represents a pivotal step in India’s semiconductor future in solving the complexities of power delivery at high voltages,” says Cyient’s CEO Suman Narayan. “By combining Navitas' proven GaN technology with Cyient Semi’s design, manufacturing and supply chain strengths, we’re creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that will accelerate the market adoption of GaN. Our goal is to make GaN accessible to every OEM looking to design, build, and scale from India,” he adds.
“I believe the growth of GaN technology in India will exceed global trends, and Cyient Semiconductors is the perfect partner for Navitas to drive this revolution,” comments Navitas’ president & CEO Chris Allexandre.
The initiative is intended to empower Indian design houses and OEMs with locally sourced GaN components and manufacturing support, enabling faster development cycles and reducing barriers to GaN adoption in India. It also reinforces Cyient’s ambition to drive semiconductor innovation, localization and scalability across critical technology sectors.
The collaboration between Cyient and Navitas establishes a direct channel for Indian customers to access GaN technology, along with reliable procurement, engineering collaboration and technical support.
