Infineon Technologies and CDIL Sign MoU to Boost Power Semiconductor Manufacturing in India.

Economy Business | Dated: 08 Mar 2025

On 6th March 2025, Munich (Germany)-based Infineon Technologies AG, a global leader in power systems and Internet of Things (IoT) semiconductors, signed its first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with New Delhi (Delhi)-based Continental Device India Limited (CDIL), India's first semiconductor manufacturer.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - The agreement aims to strengthen domestic production of power semiconductors crucial for sectors such as renewable energy, automotive, and industrial applications.
  • - This collaboration aligns with India's 'Semiconductor Mission,' which seeks to reduce import dependency and achieve self-reliance under the 'Make in India' initiative.
  • - Under the MoU, Infineon Technologies AG will supply bare semiconductor wafers to CDIL, which will process, assemble, and package them into discrete and module semiconductor products.

💡 Other Important Facts:

  • (i) These chips will power various applications, including solar technology, Electric Vehicles (EVs), Power Inverters (PIs), and Energy-Efficient Appliances (EEAs). The Indian government aims to roll out the first 'Made in India' semiconductor chip by late 2025, with five semiconductor manufacturing units currently under construction across India.
  • (ii) The key focus areas for this collaboration include Automotive and Mobility, which covers power semiconductors for EVs, charging infrastructure, and automotive electronics; Renewable Energy, with chips for solar inverters, wind turbines, and grid management systems; and Industrial and Consumer Applications, including energy-efficient solutions for appliances, industrial automation, and IoT devices.
  • (iii) Additionally, the partnership lays the groundwork for future innovation in Silicon Carbide (SiC) and advanced semiconductor technologies. Furthermore, Kyoto (Japan)-based Horiba, a leading provider of analytical and measurement solutions, has announced plans to establish a manufacturing unit in India, contributing to the country's growing semiconductor sector.
