Infineon signs pact with CDIL to supply chips for power semiconductors

Infineon Technologies has signed its first agreement in India with CDIL Semiconductors to supply silicon wafer for manufacturing power chips in the country, senior officials of the firm said here on Thursday.

Under the agreement, Infineon will supply bare semiconductor wafers to CDIL, which the Indian firm will process and use for assembly and packaging to make power chipset for use in products like power inverters, solar technology, automobile power solutions, and renewable energy applications, among others.

"Infineon will provide silicon to CDIL. India is a special and very large market where we need partners like CDIL who understand the local requirement. This is the first of its kind agreement that we have signed in India," Infineon technologies Asia Pacific President and MD, CS Chua, said after signing the agreement.

Pankaj Gulati, Chairman of CDIL, highlighted the long-term impact of the partnership “By integrating Infineon’s world-class wafer technology with CDIL’s advanced OSAT capabilities, we are setting new benchmarks in innovation and localization. This collaboration doesn’t just drive growth—it accelerates ‘Make in India’ and positions India as a global semiconductor hub of excellence.”
