IDL Industries Limited Information

IDL manufactures detonators of different types, detonating cords and other accessories. Today, IDL Industries Limited is the second largest detonator manufacturer in the world. When IDL decided to enter the explosive field, it was decided not to manufacture NG based explosives but only slurry explosives, a decision which was in line with the world trend. Accordingly a plant was set up at Rourkela, Orissa with American collaboration and production started in 1970. For historical reasons the American collaboration terminated and IDL had to fall back on its own research and development to formulate quickly, various types of explosives. The factory at Rourkela incorporates all the modern developments in the field of explosives and manufactures a complete range of slurry explosives for use in opencast mines, quarries, underground mines, tunnels and other construction projects. Over the years, IDL has diversified into various other areas including building materials, floriculture, agro products, wind energy, etc. Read more about IDL in the IDL Story page, elsewhere on this site.
