Cyient has allocated around Rs 860 crore ($100 million) for its newly-formed semiconductor subsidiary, Cyient Semiconductors.
The company plans to offer customised silicon chip solutions to various industries, including electric vehicles and distribution companies (discoms).
By September, Cyient aims to tap external investors for more funds and is in the process of appointing merchant bankers.
The new subsidiary will focus on talent-intensive research and development efforts, intellectual property creation, and listing the arm on the markets in the future.
