Minister Patil assures 20 acres for Kaynes Technologies’ expansion in Karnataka
Mysuru (PTI): Karnataka Minister for Large and Medium Industries M B Patil on Wednesday visited the units of Kaynes Technologies and Cyient DLM located in the Hebbal Industrial Area here.
During the visit, the minister held discussions with the senior management of both companies and urged them to expand their investments in Karnataka, assuring that the government would swiftly provide land and other necessary facilities, officials said.
Speaking on the occasion, Patil said leading electronics manufacturer Kaynes Technologies had sought 20 acres of land to expand its unit in Chamarajanagar. "The adjoining land is currently classified for non-industrial use, which will be sorted out to enable the required allotment," he said.
Operating across seven states, the company should further strengthen its presence and investments in Karnataka, the minister added.
Patil further announced that the company would invest Rs 1,500 crore in the Chamarajanagar district by next year. It also plans to build a hostel facility to accommodate 3,000 employees, he said.
According to a statement from Patil's office, Kaynes Technologies—established in 1988 with just 70 employees—is headquartered in Mysuru and now employs more than 700 people.
The company serves key sectors including railways, IT, medical devices, automotive, aerospace, and defence.
Overall, it provides employment to around 1,500 people and caters to more than 250 client organisations across 26 countries spanning three continents, the statement said.
During the visit, Patil suggested that Kaynes Technologies consider setting up a printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing unit at the Mulawada Industrial Area in Vijayapura, where there is abundant power and water availability. "Such initiatives will also promote industrial decentralisation," he said.
Patil also noted that land was available for industries in KGF and encouraged Kaynes to explore opportunities there as well.
The minister later visited Cyient DLM, another reputed electronics manufacturing company, and reviewed its facilities.
Senior executives of Cyient DLM briefed him on the company’s advanced design capabilities, digital twin creation, and long-term technological collaborations, the statement added.

PM Modi is controlled by Donald Trump, wants to do the same in TN: Rahul Gandhi
Ranipet (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was being "controlled" by US President Donald Trump and that the PM wanted the AIADMK to capture power so that he could control Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Also, he claimed that the prime minister "handed out our energy security and gave away our data, besides selling our farmers and small and medium industries."
"You saw yesterday (in Parliament) the face of Prime Minister Narendra Modi completely lacking confidence," Rahul said on the delimitation bill.
"He (PM) could not even face the opposition. He was sitting sideways. And the reason is, he is controlled by the United States. He signed the India-US deal that sold our country out," Rahul said while addressing an election rally here.
He further said, "Today, if Donald Trump tells Modi to jump, Modi jumps. If Donald Trump tells Modi to lie down, Modi lies down. Why? Because Donald Trump controls Modi fully. How does he control him? He controls through the Epstein files. He controls him because he knows Modi's financial systems and understands Modi's link with Adani," the Congress leader alleged.
Just as he was being controlled by Trump, Modi wanted to do the same to the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. "That is why he wants to put AIADMK in power in TN," Rahul said.
The Union government had rejected references to PM Modi in the latest Jeffrey Epstein case files, describing it as “little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal that deserves to be dismissed with the utmost contempt”.
