Continental Device India Pvt. Ltd. (CDIL) has begun a brownfield expansion of its manufacturing facility in Mohali, Punjab, aimed at increasing capacity for high-power discrete semiconductor devices. The upgraded unit will produce devices using both silicon and silicon carbide technologies.
The expansion, recently approved under the India Semiconductor Mission, is one of four national projects sanctioned. The facility will manufacture MOSFETs, IGBTs, Schottky Barrier Diodes, and transistors for sectors such as automotive, renewable energy, industrial applications, and communications.
The expansion is projected to add around 158 million units annually to its production output. The project will also draw on existing infrastructure and partnerships, including collaboration with Infineon for wafer and packaging technologies.
The total value of semiconductor projects recently approved in India, including CDIL’s expansion, is INR 46 billion. These projects are expected to create over 2,000 skilled jobs and strengthen domestic supply chains.
CDIL stated that the Mohali expansion aligns with ongoing efforts to modernise semiconductor facilities in India, including the Semi-Conductor Laboratory in Mohali.
Continental Device India Pvt. Ltd., established in 1964, manufactures semiconductor devices and components. The company supplies products for applications in industrial, consumer, automotive, and communication electronics.
