Infineon Technologies to Establish GCC in Gujarat, Employ 400 Engineers

Germany-based semiconductor giant Infineon Technologies has announced plans to set up a Global Capability Centre (GCC) at GIFT City in Gujarat. 

As reported by The Hindu Businessline, the new facility, which will employ around 400 engineers, will be the first GCC established in the state and represents a significant milestone for Gujarat’s growing technology ecosystem.

The announcement comes shortly after the Gujarat government introduced its dedicated GCC policy last month, aimed at attracting global players to establish operations within the state. Infineon’s new centre will be its second GCC in India, adding to its existing presence in Bengaluru, Noida, Pune, and Vadodara.

The upcoming centre is expected to play a crucial role in supporting Infineon’s global research and development (R&D) and digital initiatives, Vinay Shenoy, MD, Infineon Technologies, said.  

He also mentioned that it will focus on semiconductor chip design, product software, information technology, supply chain management, as well as systems and applications engineering. The facility is part of the company’s broader strategy to develop next-generation semiconductor solutions in areas such as mobility, energy efficiency, and security.

Furthermore, Shenoy highlighted that Ahmedabad was chosen as the location for the new GCC due to its emergence as a growing technology and semiconductor hub. The city has seen increased manufacturing investments in recent years, strengthening its position as a potential leader in India’s semiconductor design-to-manufacturing ecosystem

India is considered a key market in Infineon’s global growth strategy. The company has set an ambitious target of achieving Euro 1 billion in annual revenues from its India operations by 2030, underscoring its commitment to the region’s economic and technological development.

Gujarat aims to enhance its position as a leading hub for Global Capability Centres by attracting at least 250 new units from multinational companies, creating over 50,000 jobs, and securing investments worth INR 10,000 crore through incentives, promotional support, and simplified regulations.
