\"\"NEW DELHI: The ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY<\/a>) is revising its policy<\/a> framework towards making India a global semiconductor hub, which will see the government taking a more active role, including initial investment, in a bid to attract private sector players.
\n
\nThe existing policy has not worked as it offered little commercial viability for the private sector. Earlier, a Jaypee-led consortium pulled out midway from a project for setting up of a semiconductor wafer fabrication manufacturing facility.
\n
Recently, another consortium, led by Hindustan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (
HSMC<\/a>) including ST Microelectronics and Silterra Malaysia, which had also received approval to set up a fab<\/a> unit, has been facing challenges in tying up the funding. The two projects were worth Rs 51,000 crore.
\n
\nAdmitting that the government's earlier approach of inviting two private parties for the project—in which it was ready to subsidise as much as 40% of the project cost—had not worked, Meity Secretary Aruna Sundarajan told ET that the new approach will be more broad and have the government taking “a strategic and central role”.
\n
\n\"Instead of just inviting the private sector, we are looking very closely at an approach where government makes a strategic investment (complete initial funding), and then at a suitable point in time, dilute equity to bring in private sector partners,\" Sundararajan said.
\n
\nWhile allowing alterations to make the policy more compelling to investors, the government may also \"look at overseas acquisition of assets\", she added, without specifying.
\n
Chip-level manufacturing is core to Prime Minister
Narendra Modi<\/a>’s ambitious Make in India<\/a> programme that may attract big-ticket investment with the entire ecosystem including design and research & development, and potential job opportunities.
\n
Research firm
Frost & Sullivan<\/a> estimates that India’s semiconductor demand would bring economic opportunity worth $50 billion by 2020 across segments that include $30.3 billion from telecom products and equipment alone. The electronic chipset accounts for a major cost of mobile phones and other electronic devices.
\n
But there has been little commercial viability for multinational firms to set up units in India, although it is significantly important to the country’s perspective to create a semiconductor wafer fabrication (Fab) ecosystem, additional secretary
Ajay Kumar<\/a> said.
\n
\nHe added that the department is closely working with the sole consortium led by HSMC, which is still trying hard. The government has given all the requisite clearances to the HSMC-led consortium and the group is now mobilizing its resources and getting investors. In 2016, the consortium was given more time to submit documents for setting up the facility.
\n
\nSince the government believes that having its own ecosystem is important enough, it is looking at building the local capabilities in some areas like gallium nitrate-based fabs. The government is also considering promoting some of the more promising approaches that have come from Indian Institute of Science, along with a consortia.
\n
In January 2015, the government reconstituted an empowered committee (EC) under the chairmanship of
NITI Aayog<\/a> member VK Saraswat<\/a> to set up fab projects. The EC is working towards stimulating the fab segment, which is capital intensive with niche technology expertise, available with only a limited number of players worldwide.
\n
\"An incubator has been set up with financial support from the MeitY at IIT Hyderabad to promote
fabless<\/a> chip design industry in the country,” Kumar said. \n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":57253028,"title":"40% of voice calls to ride on VoLTE by 2020, fueled by cheap handsets: Aircel CTO","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/40-of-voice-calls-to-ride-on-volte-by-2020-fueled-by-cheap-handsets-aircel-cto\/57253028","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":57257955,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Government plans policy overhaul to attract fab companies","synopsis":"The existing policy has not worked as it offered little commercial viability for the private sector.

政府计划政策改革吸引工厂企业

现有的政策没有工作,因为它为私营部门提供了小商业可行性。早些时候,Jaypee-led财团退出中途从项目设置的半导体晶圆制造工厂。

新德里:电子和信息技术(MeitY)是修改它政策向使印度成为全球半导体中心框架,政府将采取更积极的作用,包括初始投资,以吸引私营部门的球员。

现有的政策没有工作,因为它为私营部门提供了小商业可行性。早些时候,Jaypee-led财团退出中途从项目设置的半导体晶圆制造工厂。

最近,另一个财团,由印度斯坦半导体制造公司(HSMC)包括圣微电子和Silterra马来西亚,也获得批准设立工厂单位,一直在占用资金面临挑战。这两个项目是值得51000卢比。

早些时候承认政府的方法邀请两个私人派对,准备资助的项目多达40%的项目成本一定是不工作,Meity部长阿鲁娜Sundarajan告诉等新方法将会更加广泛,让政府采取“战略与核心作用”。

”,而不只是邀请私营部门,我们正在密切关注方法,政府进行战略投资(完整的初始资金),然后在一个合适的时间点,稀释股权将私营部门合作伙伴,“Sundararajan说。

同时允许改变政策更引人注目的投资者,政府可能也“看看海外收购的资产”,她补充道,没有指定。

芯片级制造业核心总理莫迪的雄心壮志在印度计划,可能吸引大额投资与整个生态系统包括设计和研发,和潜在的工作机会。

研究公司Frost & Sullivan估计,印度的半导体需求将带来经济机会跨段在2020年价值500亿美元,包括303亿美元从电信产品和设备。电子芯片的主要成本占手机和其他电子设备。

但几乎没有商业生存能力的跨国公司在印度设立单位,虽然明显重要国家的角度来创建一个半导体晶圆(Fab)生态系统,额外的秘书Ajay Kumar说。

他还说,国务院密切与唯一HSMC为首的财团合作,仍在努力。政府给了所有必要的许可HSMC-led财团和集团现在调动其资源和投资者。2016年,该财团得到更多的时间来提交文件设置设施。

因为政府认为拥有自己的生态系统是足够重要的,这是看建筑等一些地区的本地功能nitrate-based镓晶圆厂。政府也在考虑推广的一些更有前途的方法来自印度科学研究所的财团。

2015年1月,政府再造的一个授权委员会(EC)的主席镍钛Aayog成员VK萨拉斯瓦特建立工厂项目。欧盟正在对刺激fab片段,与利基资本密集型技术专业知识,只有数量有限的全球玩家。

“孵化器已经建立的金融支持MeitY IIT海德拉巴促进制程芯片设计行业,”Kumar说。
