C2i Semiconductors tapes out AI server power chip, eyes global data centre supply chain

Indian #semiconductor startup C2i Semiconductors has taped out its first smart power-stage chip for AI servers, as it looks to enter the global market for high-performance power management components used in data centres.

In semiconductor design, "tape-out" is the final phase where the blueprint of a chip is completed and sent to the manufacturing facility (the fab) for production.

The Bengaluru-based startup is building "smart power stage" chips — components that regulate (more specifically, reduce) and convert electricity before it reaches high-performance GPUs and CPUs inside AI servers.

Backed by a recent $16.7 million funding round led by Peak XV Partners, C2i is targeting a market currently dominated by large US, Japanese and European semiconductor firms

Zoho-backed Netrasemi’s A2000 #AI chipset has achieved silicon bringup and is moving towards commercial production for smart vision, robotics and industrial automation.

Silicon bring-up is the initial testing process where newly fabricated microchips (silicon) arrive from the foundry and are powered on for the very first time. The goal is to safely initialize the hardware, verify basic electrical and functional operations, and bring the chip to a working state.

The RFP issued by MoD for the first AMCA prototype (P1) says that it must be ready within 24 months of contract signing i.e. sometime in 2029. Then its first flight must be within the next 180 days i.e. end of 2029.

Flight of P2 must take place within 7 months of P1 i.e. 2030. The timeline for the first flight of

P3 is 9 months later, for P4 another 6 months.

And finally P5 around 2035.

After mandatory 1,800 sorties are carried out before the end of 2035, the Series Production will start.

USA took around 6 years for rolling out the F22 prototype and 5years + for F35 prototype .

Timelines : The timelines for milestones M1, M2, M9 and M14 are mandatory. All other milestones are indicative.

India wasted 300 GWh of clean power in Q1 2026 as coal plants ignored the 40% minimum load mandate, blocking solar from the grid.

Curtailment was due to transmission constraints and thermal plants not reducing output, citing higher costs, reduced plant life, and no clarity on compensation. The deadline is now pushed to 2027.

34 GWh was curtailed on March 30, 2026 alone. 20 GW of renewable capacity faces 5+ month connectivity delays in FY27, and 25% of transmission projects for 2026-27 are delayed over a year.

Coal plant load factors fell to 55% in 2023-24 from 85% in 2009-10, expected to hit 40%. #Power

IPL Biologicals opened Phase-I of its ₹400 cr, 12-acre cGMP plant in Vadodara Thursday.

Built for ₹200 cr, the automated ZLD facility has 50 KL/day capacity — 60% biofertilizers, 40% biopesticides. Phase-II will double it to 100 KL/day. Total capacity with Uttarakhand: 70,000 L/day.

Plant has SCADA(near-zero human intervention) controls, 500 kW solar. it aims to cut chemical fertilizer use 50%, lower costs, and restore soil.

Launched with Yuvraj Singh, IPL serves 45M+ farmers in 27 countries. FY26 revenue: ₹285 cr; targets exports at 5% in 2 years, 40% in 10 years. #Agriculture

Just Look at the condition of our Conventional Submarine Fleet due to all this mess

Navy is Operating 40 Years Old Shishumar Class Submarines... And there is no replacement for such Submarines for the coming 7-8 Years even in best Case Scenario

And knowing all this Government was sitting on the Files instead of Showing Urgency, and we still don't know when will the Final Deal be signed

And it doesn't end here

There are no new orders for an Aircraft Carrier, Destroyers, Frigates, Corvettes, Landing Helicopter Docks , Minesweepers

Not a single Order...
