Press Release, 17 December 2025
In a move that could reshape semiconductor power technology in India, Navitas Semiconductor Corporation a global leader in gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors has teamed up with Cyient Semiconductors Private Limited to speed up the adoption of GaN technology across critical sectors including AI data centers, electric mobility, energy grids and industrial electrification.
Announced on December 8, 2025, this strategic partnership aims to build an end-to-end GaN ecosystem in India — from co-designing GaN-based integrated circuits (ICs) and system modules to establishing design-enablement platforms for local developers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
GaN technology is rapidly gaining traction as a high-efficiency, high-power alternative to traditional silicon, thanks to its superior performance in fast switching, high frequency and power density. These attributes make it particularly well-suited for demanding applications such as AI computing power delivery, EV chargers and onboard systems, and large-scale grid infrastructure electrification.
Beyond product development, Navitas and Cyient are committed to strengthening India’s semiconductor supply chain under the government’s “Make in India” initiative. By supporting local manufacturing and design capabilities, the partnership seeks to cut development timelines and reduce reliance on imported power semiconductor technologies.
According to Suman Narayan, CEO of Cyient Semiconductors, the collaboration represents a pivotal moment in India’s power electronics journey, particularly in solving the complexities of high-voltage power delivery and making GaN technology more accessible to OEMs and design houses.
Navitas President and CEO Chris Allexandre emphasized the ambition behind the alliance — to push India’s GaN innovation beyond global benchmarks and deliver “innovation, by India, for the world.”
This partnership not only lays the groundwork for next-generation power solutions in India but reinforces the country’s role as an emerging hub for advanced semiconductor design and manufacturing — a key competitive advantage as global demand for efficient energy and mobility solutions continues to soar.
