KEY POINTS:

By using renewable energy to cook, IGSS Ventures intends to take part in the India Semiconductor Mission and Project Surya, both of which aim to lessen air pollution and global warming.
For a semiconductor fab that will produce wafers in three different technology nodes, including 28 nm, 45 nm, and >=65 nm, as well as an industry ecosystem infrastructure that includes semiconductor circuit designers, material suppliers, equipment suppliers, and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test players, Tamil Nadu has allocated nine strategic sites, including two near Chennai.
According to the consortium, 1,500 semi-skilled and skilled workers might be employed when commercial production begins in two years.
With an expected investment of roughly 76,000 crore, the ecosystem partners’ work in the high-tech park might result in an extra 25,000 jobs for people.
