Infineon Technologies announces new Global Capability Centre at Gift City, Gujarat

Germany-based semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies on Monday announced that it will set up a Global Capability Centre (GCC) at Gift City in Gujarat which will employ a total of 400 engineers. This is the first GCC that will be set up in Gujarat.

“Last month, the State government had revealed its GCC policy. In a short time the first GCC in the State is being inaugurated,” Gujarat chief minister Bhupendra Patel said while inaugurating the GCC at Gift City, Monday. Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon Technologies AG was also present on the occasion along with other top officials from the company.

This GCC in Gujarat will be Infineon’s second GCC in India. “When we began thinking about setting up Infienon’s second GCC in India, we did not want to follow the conventional path of choosing another major technological hub. We wanted to be part of an emerging and unique ecosystem with a massive potential and create opportunities where they matter. Ahmedabad checked all the right boxes. Ahmedabad has been quietly transforming into a major tech hub beginning with fintech and more recently semiconductors. The fact that most manufacturing investments are happening around Ahmedabad is a testament to its potential to become the “Austin” of India, a major semiconductor design-to-manufacturing-hub,” Vinay Shenoy, MD, Infineon Technologies in India, said in an audio-visual presentation made at the event.

Later while addressing the event, Shenoy said, “This centre with 400 highly talented engineers will play a crucial role in strengthening Infineon’s Global R&D and digitisation initiatives, enabling us to drive cutting edge semiconductor solutions that shape the future of mobility, energy efficiency and security…. Apart from talent, Ahmedabad has what we need. A rapidly growing tech ecosystem, affordable living, excellent infrastructure and strong government policy push, making Gujarat the centre of India’s semiconductor ambitions.” The company already has operations in Bengaluru, Noida, Pune and Vadodara.

R&D

Jochen Hanebeck CEO of Infineon Technologies AG while addressing the event said the new GCC will engage in R&D for semiconductor chip design, product software information technology, supply chain management as well as systems and applications engineering. “India is an important, strategic market for Infineon, presenting immense opportunities for growth. The market will become even more important in the future. We have set ourselves an ambitious target to achieve Euro 1 billion in annual revenues in India by 2030. This target is a testament to our confidence in India’s potential and our commitment to contributing to its growth and development,” Hanebeck said.

Gujarat had unveiled its GCC policy on February 11, 2025 where it targeted to set up at least 250 new GCCs in the State, attract ₹10000 crore in investments and create 50,000 jobs.
