Karnataka has announced the development of a new 200-acre semiconductor park within its upcoming KWIN (Knowledge, Wellbeing and Innovation) City near Bengaluru. The plan, revealed by M. B. Patil, the State Minister for Large and Medium Industries, was shared during the Bengaluru Tech Summit.
The park aims to support both semiconductor manufacturing and research, providing plug-and-play infrastructure as part of an integrated innovation ecosystem. The State government is focusing on attracting investments from global technology leaders and anchor companies, especially in sectors like semiconductor devices, drones, and solar energy.
KWIN City itself is planned to span 5,000 acres, with a substantial portion reserved for research-driven development supported by partnerships between industry and academia. The semiconductor zone, in particular, is being positioned as a core hub for chip innovation.
To further strengthen Karnataka’s technology ecosystem, the state government has allocated ₹600 crore (Rs 6 billion) for companies working in cutting-edge areas such as AI, machine learning, robotics, quantum computing, sustainable innovation, and advanced manufacturing. Plans are also underway to set up a Centre of Excellence for AI and Quantum Computing in Dharwad.
In addition, the government is promoting collaboration between industry and academic institutions in domains like biotechnology and cybersecurity, while pushing supportive policies in electronics system design and manufacturing (ESDM), transport systems, and start-up development. Internationally, Karnataka is strengthening ties with countries including Japan, the U.S., Germany, and Singapore, as part of its strategy to lead in frontier technologies.
This semiconductor park is expected to reinforce Karnataka’s ambition to remain a top hub for deep-science research, next-generation manufacturing, and technology-driven innovation.
