Cyient partners with Allegro MicroSystems to innovate automotive semiconductors

Cyient Limited, a global leader in intelligent engineering services, has joined forces with Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., a Nasdaq-listed pioneer in power and sensing solutions, to establish a state-of-the-art Center of Excellence (CoE) in Hyderabad, India. The partnership marks a significant milestone in advancing magnetic sensors and power semiconductors for the automotive sector.

The new facility, inaugurated at Cyient’s Manikonda Campus, is poised to develop next-generation semiconductor products that cater to burgeoning demands for electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Over 100 specialized engineers will focus on areas like analog design, mixed-signal verification, embedded systems, and post-silicon validation.

Allegro MicroSystems President and CEO Vineet Nargolwala emphasized the potential of India’s rapidly evolving automotive market, citing the CoE’s pivotal role in fast-tracking innovations and delivering efficient solutions. He reiterated the company’s commitment to e-mobility, clean energy, and automation as central to Allegro’s long-term vision.

Driving innovation in EV and ADAS markets

The CoE’s primary objective is to address key industry trends, including the escalating demand for magnetic sensors in electric vehicles, high-power semiconductor devices like SiC and GaN, and advanced embedded systems. Experts suggest that these advancements will bolster automotive technology’s shift toward sustainability and autonomy.

Krishna Bodanapu, Executive Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of Cyient, highlighted the strategic importance of this collaboration, describing semiconductors as “the cornerstone of innovation across industries.” He lauded the synergy between Cyient and Allegro, which has already produced impactful contributions to Allegro’s product portfolio over the past two years.

Impact on global and Indian markets

India’s semiconductor ecosystem is set to benefit significantly from this collaboration, with the CoE providing access to a vast talent pool and fostering a collaborative environment. Analysts predict the initiative will accelerate the development of electric vehicles and ADAS technologies globally, reinforcing India’s reputation as a hub for technological advancement.

Both companies view this partnership as a step towards a greener future, with semiconductor innovations driving energy efficiency and sustainability. Allegro MicroSystems, known for its leadership in “automotive-grade” technology, sees the CoE as a critical enabler of its growth in clean energy and industrial automation.
