CDIL Semiconductor Facility
Continental Device India Ltd | Assembly & Packaging
One of India’s oldest semiconductor companies (founded 1964) expanding under ISM. A survivor of India’s earlier, failed semiconductor attempts.
What does this facility make?
Discrete semiconductor devices — diodes, transistors, and rectifiers used in power supplies, automotive electronics, and consumer products. These are simpler than integrated circuits but are produced in enormous volumes.
Why does it matter?
CDIL has been making semiconductors in India since 1964, long before the current ISM wave. Its survival and expansion under ISM demonstrates continuity in India’s semiconductor journey — this isn’t starting from zero.
