Indian mining major Vedanta to manufacture semiconductors in India

The Indian mining major Vedanta has tied up with Taiwanese electronics manufacturing company, Hon Hai Technology Group (better known as Foxconn) to form a joint venture (JV) for manufacturing semiconductors in India. Anil Agarwal, the non-executive Chairman of Vedanta, will be the Chairman of the JV company.

This is the first JV in the electronics manufacturing sector after the government announced a Rs 76,000 crore production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for semiconductor and display manufacturing, to create an ecosystem of local production of semiconductors in India. Vedanta will be the majority shareholder in the JV while Foxconn will hold minority share.

Important takeaways for all competitive exams:

  • Foxconn Founder: Terry Gou;
  • Foxconn Founded: 20 February 1974;
  • Foxconn Headquarters: Tucheng District, Taipei, Taiwan.
