Sep-17-2026

RIR Power Electronics has completed the erection and installation of state-of-the-art Silicon Carbide (SiC) Epitaxial Wafer Manufacturing Reactors at its SiC semiconductor facility in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The development marks a significant mark in the company’s plans to establish India’s first vertically integrated SiC semiconductor production facility in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, strengthening its commitment to developing advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in India. 

The facility is expected to commence commercial production upon completion of the remaining statutory and regulatory formalities. The key equipment required for the SiC epitaxial wafer manufacturing process has been installed, while essential power connections, utilities and other supporting infrastructure have been commissioned and are in place. The completion of these critical infrastructure elements represents an important step towards operationalising the facility. The facility will deliver India’s first SiC Epitaxial wafers for domestic and global markets.

The SiC Epitaxial Manufacturing Reactors and associated infrastructure form part of the company’s phased development of its Odisha semiconductor facility, supporting RIR Power Electronics’ planned Rs 618 crore investment towards establishing a vertically integrated SiC semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. The facility is being developed with the objective of manufacturing advanced SiC-based power semiconductor devices, including high-power MOSFETs, diodes and modules, catering to the growing requirements of strategic and highgrowth sectors.

RIR Power Electronics is a global pioneer in high-power semiconductor solutions, driving innovation and energy efficiency. Its portfolio of high-performance semiconductor devices, assemblies, and energy management systems enables customers to address the evolving demands of modern energy systems.
