The stock gave multibagger returns of 160 per cent in just 1 year whereas BSE Sensex Index is up by 26.3 per cent.

Kaynes Technology India Limited announced that the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the proposal of its wholly owned-subsidiary, Kaynes Semicon Private Limited, to establish a semiconductor unit in Sanand, Gujarat. This significant development marks a major milestone in India's efforts to build a self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem.

The proposed unit will be constructed with an estimated investment of Rs 3,307 crore. Once operational, it will have the capacity to assemble, test, mark, and pack 60 lakh chips per day. These chips will cater to a wide range of applications, including industrial, automotive, electric vehicles, consumer electronics, information technology, telecom, and mobile phones. The unit's establishment is expected to boost India's domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and reduce reliance on imports.

The approval of this semiconductor unit aligns with the government's ambitious Programme for Development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystem in India, which was launched in December 2021 with a total outlay of Rs 76,000 crore. This initiative aims to create a vibrant semiconductor ecosystem in the country and promote self-sufficiency in this critical technology.

The establishment of the Kaynes Semicon unit in Sanand follows the approval of three other semiconductor units earlier this year. Tata Electronics is setting up a semiconductor fab in Dholera, Gujarat, while CG Power is building a unit in Sanand. Additionally, Tata Electronics is also establishing a semiconductor unit in Morigaon, Assam. The rapid progress being made on these projects underscores the government's commitment to fostering a robust semiconductor ecosystem in India.

With the cumulative investment of nearly Rs 1.5 lakh crore and a combined capacity of around 7 crore chips per day, these semiconductor units are poised to play a pivotal role in India's technological advancement and economic growth. The establishment of these units will not only create new job opportunities but also attract investments from global semiconductor companies.
