HCLTech has launched a pre-configured product lifecycle management (PLM) solution for semiconductor companies, built on PTC’s Windchill platform.
The solution covers IP management, new product introduction, supplier collaboration, quality, and regulatory compliance. It can also connect with existing business, manufacturing, and design systems.
HCLTech said the solution uses a digital thread to connect people, processes, and data, providing visibility and traceability across the product lifecycle.
The launch comes as India expands its semiconductor design capabilities alongside investments in manufacturing. At SEMICON India 2026 in September, Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said around 70,000 design engineers had been trained in four years, against an initial target of 85,000 over a decade.
More than 105 chip design startups had also gained access to electronic design automation (EDA) tools. Under the second phase of the India Semiconductor Mission, the government is targeting at least 200 chip design companies. India’s ambitions also extend to system design and product development.
“By bringing PTC’s product lifecycle capabilities together with HCLTech’s deep industry and engineering expertise, we are enabling customers with a stronger foundation to modernise how products are developed and managed at scale,” said John Haller, General Manager of PLM at PTC.
The companies did not disclose customer deployments or commercial terms for the solution.
