US Chip Giant Vishay Teams With India’s Kaynes to Build Local Factories

US-based Vishay Intertechnology, a major global manufacturer of electronic components and semiconductors, has announced a joint venture with India's Kaynes Semicon to establish semiconductor manufacturing facilities in India. The partnership aims to build a domestic chip-making ecosystem, supporting India's push to become a global electronics manufacturing hub and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.

The JV will focus on producing discrete semiconductors and power modules, essential for automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. For engineers and companies, this signals more localized supply chain options and potential resilience against global chip shortages. It represents a significant step in India's tech manufacturing ambitions, moving from assembly to core semiconductor fabrication.
