Cyient Eyes SCL Mohali Revamp Deal with Tech Proposal
Cyient, a tech company, wants to help the Indian government upgrade a chip factory in Mohali.
They've submitted a proposal offering new technology to improve the factory's ability to make computer chips.
This upgrade would focus on an older type of chip technology called 180-nanometer.
Cyient hopes to use the factory to create custom chips for things like cars and wireless devices.
The government also wants to allow researchers and startups to test and validate their product designs there.
If successful, Cyient could earn a significant amount of money from this project.
Cyient Semiconductors has proposed to upgrade the SCL Mohali facility.
The project focuses on improving the existing 180-nm fabrication line.
Cyient's bid includes technology intellectual properties (IPs) with Process Design Kits (PDKs).
Industry executives estimate the project could be worth ₹500-1,000 crore to the winner.
The government aims to create a facility where new product pitches designed by students, researchers, and startups can be taped out and validated.
