CDIL Semiconductor Facility
Continental Device India Ltd | Assembly & Packaging
Brownfield expansion of CDIL’s existing discrete-semiconductor plant at Mohali (founded 1964) — not a new facility. A survivor of India’s earlier, failed semiconductor attempts, now scaling up under ISM.
What does this facility make?
High-power discrete semiconductor devices — MOSFETs, IGBTs, Schottky bypass diodes, and transistors — in both Silicon and Silicon Carbide, for automotive electronics (including EVs and charging infrastructure), renewable energy systems, power conversion, industrial applications, and communication infrastructure.
Why does it matter?
CDIL has been making semiconductors in India since 1964, long before the current ISM wave. This expansion — its move into Silicon Carbide devices for EVs and renewables — shows an existing player scaling into higher-value power semiconductors rather than a new entrant starting from zero.
