L&T Semiconductor Technologies forays into cellular IoT module business

L&T Semiconductor Technologies Limited (LTSCT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), on Friday announced its entry into the cellular IoT module business during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, which marks a significant expansion of its semiconductor portfolio.

The company unveiled its first module, powered by Qualcomm, which will be produced in collaboration with Indian electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partners to ensure scale and quality for both Indian and global deployments.

“Demand for IoT connectivity is exploding, and India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem is maturing rapidly," Sandeep Kumar, chief executive at L&T Semiconductor Technologies, said in a prepared statement. "As a fabless semiconductor company, we already design high-performance chip solutions. Moving into modules allows us to deliver complete, ready-to-integrate solutions to customers.”


He went on to add that the company's entry into the IoT module segment marks its growth in the value chain, delivering ready-to-integrate solutions that enable customers to shorten development cycles, reduce research and development (R&D) costs, and achieve faster market entry.

"Developed by leading experts, our modules combine powerful connectivity, simplified integration, and pre-certifications that enable OEMs to market new devices — faster than ever — anywhere in the world. We are proud to support manufacturers in accelerating their smart product strategies while reinforcing India’s central role in future technology innovations," Kumar said.

The company said that the portfolio launch will empower original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and device makers to rapidly integrate pre-certified 4G modules into smart devices spanning energy metres, industrial sensors, and connected vehicles. It said this would dramatically accelerate product development and lower R&D investments for manufacturers while targeting both domestic and global markets.

"At Qualcomm, we see India as a critical hub for hardware innovation and intelligent infrastructure," Savi Soin, senior vice president & president, Qualcomm India, said. "Aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat, our collaboration with LTSCT and partners across the ecosystem is focussed on building scalable IoT solutions that deliver world-class performance while driving local innovation and value creation in India.”
