Cyient Semiconductors has launched its first family of gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits for the Indian market, marking the company’s entry into commercial GaN semiconductor products.
A subsidiary of Cyient, it introduced seven 650V-rated devices developed under a technology license from Navitas Semiconductor.
The new chip family targets applications across AI data centres, telecommunications systems, consumer fast chargers, industrial power supplies, and e-mobility charging platforms. Cyient Semiconductors said it expects to begin sampling the products by June 2026.
“With this launch, 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,” Suman Narayan, CEO at Cyient Semiconductors, said in a statement. “These highly integrated devices are designed to accelerate adoption and support next-generation power applications.”
The launch follows a strategic collaboration between Cyient Semiconductors and Navitas announced in December 2025. Under the agreement, Cyient Semiconductors will license Navitas’ GaN technology for use in India and will also act as a second-source supplier for selected Navitas devices already in mass production.
Chris Allexandre, President and CEO at Navitas, said India remains a key market as the company pivots its India strategy to focus on GaN-based product enablement and customer success.
Cyient Semiconductors said customers can contact the company directly for product datasheets, samples, and technical support. It operates two centres in India, three in Europe, and one in the United States.
GaN semiconductors are increasingly used in power electronics because they enable faster switching speeds and lower energy losses than silicon-based devices. Companies are deploying these chips in high-performance computing systems, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and compact consumer chargers.
The first product line includes seven integrated GaN power devices packaged in DPAK form factors. The devices combine control, drive, and protection functions with integrated EMI management and current sensing. Cyient Semiconductors said the design aims to simplify system integration and reduce customers’ time-to-market.
The company plans to expand its GaN portfolio through partnerships with local outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) companies. Cyient Semiconductors said the licensing arrangement with Navitas could later support domestic manufacturing of GaN devices in India.
