Kaynes Technology shares experienced a significant surge on Thursday, climbing as much as 5.2% to ₹3,563 per share during intraday trading. According to reports from LiveMint, this strong intraday move came as India's semiconductor ambitions moved into the spotlight with Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating SEMICON India 2026. The three-day event has brought together companies, investors and policymakers from India and abroad, with discussions centred on semiconductor value chain components including chip design, fabrication, semiconductor materials and advanced packaging.
The latest edition of SEMICON India 2026 is drawing significant participation from government officials, semiconductor companies and industry delegates from across the world. As reported by LiveMint, the event is set to feature over 500 exhibiting companies from more than 20 countries, with participants showcasing next-generation technologies, innovations and solutions. The broader focus on investments, manufacturing capabilities and efforts to build a domestic semiconductor ecosystem could keep stocks linked to semiconductors and electronics manufacturing in focus.
