India plays a vital role as a strategic market and innovation hub for Infineon, a global leader in power systems and IoT. With over 2,500 employees, Infineon India has been a driving force in research and development for over 25 years, contributing significantly to the country’s semiconductor ecosystem.
Now, the company is taking a major step forward by launching a Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Ahmedabad, located within the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City). The opening ceremony was attended by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, alongside Infineon CEO Jochen Hanebeck.
This cutting-edge facility in Ahmedabad marks a key milestone in Infineon’s ongoing investment in innovation and operational excellence in India. The centre will employ 500 skilled engineers and professionals within the next five years, focusing on advanced R&D in semiconductor chip design, product software, IT, supply chain management, and systems and application engineering.
This new centre will bolster Infineon’s ability to deliver top-tier semiconductor solutions and drive global technological advancements, complementing the company’s already successful operations in Bengaluru. With this addition, Infineon now has a presence in five locations across India.
Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon, remarked, “This new centre will be a crucial part of Infineon’s global innovation strategy and will further enhance our R&D efforts. India is rapidly becoming a semiconductor innovation hub, and we are excited to be part of this growth. We are committed to participating in the country’s market expansion and aim for over one billion euros in sales by 2030. As a global leader, we look forward to contributing to the development of India’s semiconductor sector through our innovation and the country’s growing talent pool.”
Vinay Shenoy, Managing Director of Infineon India, emphasized, “Our investment in innovation not only contributes to the region’s growth but also opens up new possibilities for our customers and partners.
