By launching the first commercially produced Multi-Chip Module (MCM) from its state-of-the-art Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility in Sanand, Gujarat, Kaynes Semicon Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Kaynes Technology India Ltd., has made history in the Indian semiconductor sector.
As part of India Semiconductor Mission 1.0, the company has shipped 900 Intelligent Power Modules (IPM5) to Alpha & Omega Semiconductor (AOS), a semiconductor manufacturer based in California.
The IPM5 module is an extremely complex power device that combines 17 separate dies into a single high-performance unit. These dies include two controller integrated circuits, six fast recovery diodes (FRDs), three extra diodes, and six insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). This development represents a major advancement in India’s capacity to manufacture and test sophisticated semiconductor power modules on its own soil, which are essential for use in the consumer electronics, automotive, industrial automation, and renewable energy sectors.
Modern high-precision assembly lines, automated testing systems, and cleanroom infrastructure are all components of the Sanand plant, which is built for high-volume, export-grade production.
The plant’s capacity is now set to generate up to 3,000 units per day, and the pilot production line started operations in April 2025. By January 2026, Kaynes Semicon hopes to increase its capacity to 6.3 million chips per day with further mass production scaling.
This milestone is a crucial illustration of India’s expanding semiconductor ecosystem, which has greatly reduced dependency on imports and established India as a reliable link in the global supply chain for semiconductors.
India’s ambitions to become a significant global player in semiconductor production under the “Make in India” and Semiconductor India Mission frameworks are strengthened by the relationship with AOS and key alliances like Mitsui & Co.
Kaynes’ intelligent power module improves efficiency and design compactness by regulating and safeguarding electrical power flow in a variety of systems, including electric motors.
This innovative delivery marks the beginning of a new era in India’s capacity for electronic manufacture and export, solidifying Kaynes Semicon’s Sanand facility as a leading center for cutting-edge semiconductor packaging and testing in the nation.
