INTRODUCTION
Central Electronics Limited (CEL), established in June 1974, is a Technology and Production Enterprise of the Department of Scientific & Industrial Research, Ministry of Science & Technology, and Government of India.
CEL's mission is to achieve excellence in the technology and manufacture and be market leader in Solar Energy Systems and Strategic Electronics.
Central Electronics Limited (CEL) holds a unique position among the family of Public Sector Enterprises in Electronics, with its emphasis on indigenous technology inducted both from its in-house developments and from the National Laboratories, for its production programme in diverse high-technology areas of national importance. The activities of CEL are sharply focused in three thrust areas:
• Solar photovoltaic cells, modules and systems for a variety of applications.
• Selected Electronic Systems-Equipment for Railway Signaling and Safety, Cathodic Protedtion Equipment for Oil Pipelines, Switching Systems and Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs).
• Selected Electronic components-professional (Soft) Ferrites, Electronic Ceramics, Piezo Electric Elements and Microwave Components.
CEL has been the pioneer in the country in the areas of solar photovoltaics, ferrites and piezo ceramics. Today, it enjoys the international status of being among the top producers of single crystalline silicon solar cells in the world.
Central Electronics Limited is a Public Sector Enterprise under the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India. It was established in 1974 with an objective to commercially exploit the indigenous technologies developed by National Laboratories and R&D Institutions in the country. CEL is one of the rare companies, which utilized the homegrown technologies during all these years of its existence.
CEL has developed a number of products for the first time in the country through its own R&D efforts and in close association with the premier National & International Laboratories including Defense Laboratories. In recognition of all these efforts, CEL has been awarded a number of times with prestigious awards including “National Award for R&D by DSIR”.
CEL is pioneer in the country in the field of Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) and it has developed state-of-the-art technology with its own R&D efforts. Its Solar products have been qualified to International Standards EC503/IEC1215 by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre, and ISPRA, ITALY.
CEL, pioneer in the field of Railways Safety & Signaling, has been identified as a major indigenous agency for design and development of modern electronic Signaling and Safety equipment by Indian Railways. The equipment manufactured in CEL finds extreme usage in Railways in the form of Axle Counter, Axle Counter Block System and Train Approach Warning Devices. CEL’s Digital Axle Counter is approved as per European CENELEC safety level SIL-4 by RDSO (Research, Design and Standard Organization of Indian Railways) as an approved source in Part-I (i.e. approved for bulk production) for various Railway Safety and Signaling Equipments for more than 25 years.
STRENGTHS:
Pioneer in India in Photovoltaic, Railway Signaling & safety equipments, C-Band & X-Band phase shifters & Electronic Ceramics

7. Initiate necessary action for augmentation of production capacity of 40000 nos. PCMs to projected demand of PCMs.
8. To provide turnkey solution for public area security to counter security threats.
9. To explore the avenues for supplying electronic instruments for Metro Rails in India.
BUSINESS AREAS
The function of this business unit is to manufacture and market Solar Voltaic Cells, Modules and complete systems in India & Abroad.
Central Electronics Limited (CEL) is the pioneer and the largest manufacturers of Solar-Photovoltaic (SPV) Cells, Modules and Systems in India. Through sustained in-house development and constant R&D efforts, spread over a decade of continuous efforts, the company has converted a laboratory concept into an industrial technology.
CEL , with its commitment to harness the solar energy, has opened up new vistas in the field of solar photovoltaic. Backed by an integrated production facility to manufacture Mono-Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells and Modules with the state-of-the-art screen-printing technology, the company has supplied more than 1.5 Lakhs SPV Systems in India and abroad, covering both rural and industrial applications
CEL products conform to stringent National & International Standards. The PV modules are tested to JPL Block V.1981 and European Solar Test Installation (ESTI) Standards. Our modules have been successfully tested by Solar Energy Centre (SEC) of the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES), Govt. of India and JRC-EC, Ispra, Italy. CEL's Solar Photovoltaic modules are the only ones from India certified both for design and quality by the European Commission - Joint Research Centre at Ispra, Italy
