Cyient launches India’s first GaN power IC family leveraging Navitas technology
Custom ASIC/ASSP and power solutions provider Cyient Semiconductor Pte Ltd of Hyderabad, India has launched seven new gallium nitride (GaN) power devices for the Indian market, developed using the GaN technology of Navitas Semiconductor Corp of Torrance, CA, USA — which provides GaNFast gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors.
The launch marks Cyient’s first commercial GaN product family and a milestone in advancing India’s domestic power semiconductor ecosystem. The new portfolio is designed to address the rapidly growing demand for high-efficiency, high-power-density solutions across AI data centers, telecoms, consumer fast charging, industrial power systems, and e-mobility platforms.
Building on the strategic collaboration announced in December 2025, the partnership enables customers in India to access commercially available GaN power solutions with enhanced local support, supply assurance, and alignment with emerging domestic sourcing initiatives.
Cyient will license Navitas’s proven GaN technology for use in India, accelerating the adoption of high-performance GaN solutions across a broad range of markets. In addition, Cyient will serve as a second source for select Navitas GaN devices already in mass production and strengthening supply chain resilience.
Cyient’s initial GaN portfolio targets power applications up to 650V, including consumer USB PD chargers, laptop and mobile adapters; AC/DC power supplies; AI data-center and telecoms power systems; and e mobility charging platforms.
Looking ahead, Cyient plans to expand its GaN portfolio through partnerships with local OSATs. Over time, the licensing agreement with Navitas is expected to enable the domestic manufacturing of GaN power devices in India. This phased approach prioritizes ecosystem readiness and scale in the near term, while creating a pathway toward deeper technology participation and indigenous value creation as the market matures and demand scales.
The first wave of products includes seven highly integrated GaN power devices in easy-to-assemble DPAK packages, combining drive, control and protection functions, with integrated EMI management and current sensing, in industry-standard, high-thermal-performance packages. This level of integration is designed to simplify system design and ease adoption, addressing a critical intersection point for customers in India that prioritize faster time to market, high reliability, and system-level efficiency.
“Cyient Semiconductors is introducing its first family of GaN power ICs, marking our entry into high-performance power semiconductors with a strong roadmap for expansion,” says Cyient’s CEO Suman Narayan. “Built on Navitas’ proven GaN platform, these highly integrated devices are designed to accelerate adoption and support next-generation power applications. This represents the foundation of a broader GaN portfolio that will address the growing power and efficiency demands of AI infrastructure, industrial systems, consumer power, and e-mobility applications,” he adds.
“India is a key market in Navitas’s high-growth, high-power strategy with Navitas 2.0,” says Navitas’ president & CEO Chris Allexandre. “This launch furthers our vision of a robust local supply chain and manufacturing in India for the governments ‘Make in India’ initiatives,” he adds. “The partnership with Cyient delivers a strong local support infrastructure for our customers as we pivot our India strategy to focus on GaN-based product enablement and customer success.”
Cyient expect to begin sampling the first set of GaN power products by June.
