1)The article specifically mentions the Indian electronic market and not defence.
2)100% FDI for a project even remotely related to pure defence = impossibility

How is it relevant to this forum? Mods please close the thread

“Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of ignorance”

Kid from our missiles to aircraft to satellites to computers to telecommunications etc. etc. are using made in china/Taiwan semiconductors and that is a great security hazard.

Because of that govt. has decided to build that facility in India so that we can get rid of any risk and become independent.

So, basically its a Semiconductor fab which will manufacture Semiconductors which will be used in every area including defense but govt. is taking this initiative purely because of the need from security point of view.


You need to spend some time on good defense forums or Google the background of this news before dictating others.

Big No
our strategic chips are made at SCL Chandigarh and SITAR


Oh I forgot GAETEC.

Ok "Kid". Let's get things straight. Indian missile components when not built indigenously come from Russia and Israel.
You do realize Chinese/Taiwanese semi conductors = possible spy devices. Even Huawei which makes civilian equipment (semiconductors included) has been under severe scrutiny of the Indian Govt despite the manufacturing/assembly being done in India.
Secondly please realize when semiconductor fab units in India are open for 100% FDI by automatic route there is absolutely no way it is going to be allowed to enter the defensive services.
This has been purely done to offset the huge trade deficit we have with china and Taiwan due to import of semi-conductors for civilian use.
BTW my sources are not google and defence forums.I actually WORK with people in this area.
 
Government planning to set Rs 25,000 crore chip-manufacturing units fearing rogue programs in imported chips


KOLKATA: Fearing the possibility of rogue programs getting embedded in imported chips that could compromise security of critical installations, the government is planning to two chip-manufacturing units at an investment topping Rs 25,000 crore.

Right now, there are no chip manufacturing facilities in India and the department of information technology has recently received the Union Cabinet's nod for the project. The facilities will be set up either exclusively by the Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO) and a defence public sector unit or through a public-private partnership.

"Plans include setting up a semiconductor unit (Fab-1) with established technology to support fabrication of chips to meet the requirement of high volume products as well as the requirement of the fab-less design companies on pay-per-use basis. This activity may involve either setting up a plant in India with established technology or acquiring an existing fabrication abroad and its eventual relocation to India. The government support needed for either of the options will be negotiated," a department of information technology statement said on Wednesday.

Fab-2 - the second phase of the project -- will entail a greenfield state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication unit. This would imply giving equity or grant to an established integrated device manufacturer to set up the unit in India. The amount of equity or grant will also be negotiated with the government, the note said.

To begin with, the department will set up an empowered committee that will identify technology and investors for the facilities.

This committee will recommend the sequence and priority between the proposed Fab-1 and Fab-2 facilities. The members will also assess and recommend the nature and quantum of government support such as equity, grant or subsidy in physical or financial terms that may be required to translate the interest into investment.

This committee will submit its recommendations to the government by July 31. The decision to set up a fabrication facility was originally mooted by another committee comprising the chairman of the National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council (NMCC) and the adviser to Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovation; secretary, information technology and secretary, telecommunications.

Government planning to set Rs 25,000 crore chip-manufacturing units fearing rogue programs in imported chips - Economic Times

:rofl:
Dude..you just killed your own argument. Show me one place in this article where it says FDI allowed and show me a fraction of evidence of it's relation to the original article. I am really curious to know this. My office colleagues would love to see a connection.
 
And for your China/Taiwan argument
he Indian government has called upon technology companies and investors to show their interest in setting up a semiconductor fabrication plant.

It wants to garner enough interest to ensure that the country keeps up with the global demand of the semiconductor and chips markets.

And the government is so keen that, according to the Economic Times , it has set up a group called The Empowered Committee which will invite a preliminary Expression of Interest (EoI) from potential companies.

The group has posted a notice which says the government is in the process of developing a policy framework to "provide preference for domestically produced electronics goods in government/government influenced procurement."

India is seeking money from outside its borders, saying it will allow 100 percent foreign direct investment under the automatic route in fabs. It will also offer interested companies help to set up the fabs.

India hasn't seen the same level of success in the semiconductor market as other global powers. Back in November, Gartner analyst Ganesh Ramamoorthy warned that the Indian semiconductor market was falling behind China and Taiwan, due to low take up of government initiatives and low incentives.

He said at the time that, in his view, India could enjoy a boost by teaming up with China, joining together to become a great power in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
In April the India Semiconductor Association (ISA) boasted that the country's chip sector, which focuses mainly in VLSI design, embedded software development and board design, would grow by around 17.3 per cent year-on-year from the $7.5 billion in 2010. It predicted that this will amount to earnings of $8.8 billion in 2011 and $10.2 billion in 2012.

However, there were still some worries, with ISA president Poornima Shenoy saying that the sector needed heavy investment from companies to help boost it further.
