IoT Push: China's Fibocom Partners Kaynes to Begin India Manufacturing by Mid-2026

Shenzhen, China-based Fibocom, a global provider of wireless communication modules, is preparing to commence sales of Made-in-India IoT products in collaboration with Kaynes Technology starting Q2 2026.

Founded in 1999, Fibocom is a publicly listed company and had raised $28M from Intel in earlier its earlier stages.

Key Highlights

• Partnership roots: Fibocom partnered with Bengaluru-based Kaynes Technology in 2025 to strengthen India’s electronics and semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
• Strategic alignment: This move supports India’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and boost local production.
• Market impact: The collaboration is expected to accelerate the availability of locally manufactured IoT modules and solutions, catering to India’s rapidly expanding 5G and AI-driven industries.
• Global positioning: By producing in India, Fibocom intends to reinforce the “Made in India” brand internationally, while meeting domestic demand for IoT components more efficiently.

Why This Matters

• For India: Strengthens the country’s role in the global IoT supply chain and supports semiconductor ecosystem growth.
• For Fibocom: Enhances competitiveness by leveraging cost-effective, high-quality local manufacturing.
• For Enterprises: Ensuregs faster access to IoT modules tailored for Indian networks and applications.

Fibocom can differentiated from its competitors as it is the first domestic wireless communication module company to achieve dual listing in Shenzhen and Hong Kong (“A+H” listing in 2025). The is essentially a bridge between IoT hardware and AI-driven connectivity, positioning itself as a global leader in wireless modules while expanding into edge AI solutions.

Fibocom’s India strategy

Fibocom’s India strategy is centered on building a strong local manufacturing base through its partnership with Kaynes Technology, while aligning closely with national initiatives like Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat. In August 2025, Fibocom announced its collaboration with Kaynes, a leading Indian electronics and semiconductor manufacturer, to establish production facilities in Karnataka, Hyderabad, and Gujarat. These facilities are equipped with advanced SMT lines, automated testing systems, and precision assembly equipment, enabling large-scale production of IoT modules within India.

This partnership is designed to localize IoT manufacturing, reduce reliance on imports, and ensure faster delivery of products tailored to Indian networks and applications. By producing domestically, Fibocom not only strengthens India’s semiconductor ecosystem but also creates jobs and supports skill development, contributing to the broader policy goals of technological sovereignty and industrial growth.

The strategy also positions India as a competitive hub in the global IoT supply chain. Fibocom intends to brand its products as “Made in India,” reinforcing India’s role internationally while meeting the rising domestic demand driven by 5G, AI, smart cities, and connected industries. For enterprises, this means quicker access to cost-effective, locally optimized IoT modules. For Kaynes, the partnership elevates its standing as a key player in India’s electronics and semiconductor manufacturing landscape.
