Kaynes Semicon Reaches Full Commercial Production at Sanand — 6.3 Million Chips Per Day
Kaynes Semicon's OSAT facility in Sanand, Gujarat reached full commercial production in March 2026, with a capacity of 6.3 million chips per day — making it India's second operational semiconductor facility, inaugurated by PM Modi on March 31, 2026.
The Kaynes Semicon Sanand facility involved an investment of approximately ₹3,300 crore (INR 33 billion). PM Modi inaugurated the plant on March 31, 2026. The facility focuses on Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) used in automotive and industrial applications — components that India currently imports entirely. At 6.3 million chips per day, it is the highest-volume semiconductor manufacturing operation currently running in India.
Kaynes Semicon joining Micron at Sanand confirms that Gujarat's Sanand cluster is real, operational, and scaling — not a policy document. Two OSAT facilities producing chips commercially within months of each other is the kind of demand signal that should trigger curriculum decisions at engineering institutions today. The IPM focus also signals demand for power electronics process knowledge — a skill set that overlaps strongly with electrical and mechanical engineering programmes, not just ECE.
