What does this facility make?
Assembles and tests semiconductor chips for various applications. Kaynes started as an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company and expanded upstream into chip packaging.
Why does it matter?
Most ISM projects involve foreign technology partners. Kaynes is notable as a homegrown Indian company that built OSAT capability — showing that the Indian private sector can move up the semiconductor value chain, not just multinational corporations.
