Mumbai- Strengthening India’s push under the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’ initiatives, L&T Semiconductor Technologies Limited (LTSCT) on Friday announced its foray into the cellular IoT module business at CES 2026.
The new offering is aimed at enabling OEMs and device manufacturers to swiftly integrate pre-certified 4G cellular modules into a wide range of smart products, including energy meters, industrial sensors, and connected vehicles.
The move represents a significant advancement for India’s electronics ecosystem, as it is expected to substantially shorten product development cycles and reduce R&D costs for manufacturers. The solutions are designed to cater to both domestic and international markets, the company said. LTSCT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T).
“Demand for IoT connectivity is rising rapidly, and India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem is evolving at a fast pace. As a fabless semiconductor company, we already develop high-performance chip solutions. By expanding into modules, we can now offer complete, ready-to-integrate solutions to our customers,” said Sandeep Kumar, Chief Executive, L&T Semiconductor Technologies.
He added that the company is committed to helping manufacturers accelerate their smart product strategies while strengthening India’s position in future technology innovation.
Highlighting the broader ecosystem collaboration, Savi Soin, Senior Vice President and President, Qualcomm India, said that India is emerging as a vital hub for hardware innovation and intelligent infrastructure.
“In line with the vision of Viksit Bharat, our collaboration with LTSCT and other ecosystem partners is focused on developing scalable IoT solutions that deliver global standards of performance while promoting local innovation and value creation in India,” Soin noted.
At the event, LTSCT unveiled its first cellular IoT module, powered by Qualcomm technology. The module is designed to help device manufacturers integrate connectivity quickly, efficiently, and at scale across multiple industries. With this launch, LTSCT positions itself as a reliable partner for smart device innovation, aligned with government priorities and the demands of a fast-changing market.
As IoT adoption accelerates across sectors such as automotive, energy, logistics, agriculture, manufacturing, and smart cities, the demand for ready-to-deploy connectivity solutions continues to rise.
Industry estimates indicate that the Indian IoT module market is set to grow at a CAGR exceeding 20 per cent, driven primarily by applications in utilities, mobility, and industrial automation.
