Polymatec Electronics has announced the establishment of a second factory in Navalaipur, Chhattisgarh, India. This was reported by Manufacturing Today India. The new facility is supported by a 40% capital grant from the state and will focus on producing advanced semiconductor chips and base stations for rapidly advancing 5G and 6G technologies.
The announcement was made during the Chhattisgarh Investor Connect 2024 event held in New Delhi, where Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said the facility will help strengthen the state’s manufacturing capacity. emphasized the importance of The project will involve a high investment of Rs 1,143 crore and is aimed at strengthening India’s semiconductor and telecom ecosystem.
Polymatec’s new factory will specialize in the production of gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor chips, an essential technology for high-frequency 5G and 6G communications. These chips will be used in base stations, which will be at the heart of next-generation communications infrastructure. The factory will also incorporate advanced packaging for these chips, with initial manufacturing to be outsourced until Polymatec’s in-house foundry in Grenoble, France, is up and running.
The partnership with Simply RF, a Cardiff, UK-based company, is expected to boost India’s capabilities in global semiconductor manufacturing. With support from the Chhattisgarh government, policies aimed at attracting investments in high-tech manufacturing will further cement the state as a hub for innovation.
Expressing enthusiasm about the project, Eswara Rao Nandam, CEO and Managing Director of Polymatech, said: With the support of Chhattisgarh and our expertise in GaN technology, we are poised to deliver next-generation solutions for the global 5G and 6G ecosystem. ”
Polymatec’s investment in the new factory reflects an important step towards strengthening India’s semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, particularly in 5G and 6G base station technology.
