L&T Semiconductor unveils 40 products, including first SiC platform

L&T Semiconductor Technologies Limited (LTSCT), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, today unveiled 40 products at SEMICON India 2026, under the theme “Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem”.

Its technologies span secure identity, intelligent surveillance, IP cameras, and communication solutions supporting critical infrastructure and strategic requirements. The portfolio also addresses the growing need for indigenous compute and connectivity capabilities as India builds its data centre and AI infrastructure.

The showcase features two significant milestones: LTSCT’s first Silicon Carbide (SiC) product platform and the tape-out of a fully designed-in-India BLDC motor controller.

“For the last 50 years, semiconductors have been at the core of innovation. As the electronics revolution continues, going from $1 trillion to $2 trillion might seem to be a big jump, but the growth of the semiconductor industry is still on the same curve. Some years, you get a boom, and some years, a bust. The big difference this time around, from the previous ones is that this boom is led by architecture — how innovative your architecture is, how creative you are, how you put it together; that is defining the winners versus the others,” said Dr Sandeep Kumar, Chief Executive, L&T Semiconductor Technologies Limited, delivering a keynote at Semicon India 2026.

India, he said, has the necessary building blocks, but gaps remain in areas such as system architecture. Developing this expertise requires access to global markets and a deeper understanding of customer needs. Since most major customers are based outside India, limited market exposure has contributed to this knowledge gap.

LTSCT’s high-performance 1200V SiC MOSFET platform is engineered for next-generation power conversion applications. The platform is designed for use in EV fast chargers, microgrids, solid-state transformers, and traction inverters, where higher efficiency and performance are increasingly critical.

Alongside this, LTSCT has taped out its highly integrated BLDC motor controller, a fully designed-in-India chip. The controller integrates advanced protection features to support extended product warranties, while its flexible architecture enables a single platform to serve multiple models, reduce bill-of-materials costs, and support India’s transition to more energy-efficient BLDC ceiling fans.

In line with the Semicon 2.0 initiative, LTSCT is focused on advancing semiconductor design from innovation to scalable products and market-ready solutions through deeper ecosystem collaboration.

The Compute portfolio includes an indigenous Vision Camera SoC combining advanced image processing with on-device AI acceleration, alongside a Secure Identity Platform designed for applications including e-passports, payment cards and national ID systems, with hardware-rooted security and cryptographic acceleration.

In Connectivity & RF, LTSCT is showcasing four indigenously designed modules for smart metering, automotive applications and digital payments, including its LCC43 Dynamic QR and Soundbox proof of concept for NPCI’s proposed Trusted Device Layer.

Meanwhile, LTSCT and Tata Electronics also announced a strategic partnership to expand indigenous manufacturing of market-leading chip products in India to serve global customers.

The alliance aims to build indigenous design and manufacturing capabilities to support next-generation products across automotive, industrial, communications, security and intelligent-edge sectors.
