全球领先的芯片代工厂塔半导体希望政府敲定项目和标准程序
Tower Semiconductor是总部位于阿布扎比的Next Orbit Ventures提出的一个财团的技术合作伙伴，该财团在古吉拉特邦的工业中心Dholera投资30亿美元建设65纳米模拟半导体制造单元。
新德里消息:塔半导体该公司向印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)致信，寻求莫迪干预加快政府芯片制造计划的进程。9个月前，印度政府刚刚就该计划提交了一份意向书(EoI)。
该公司表示，政府方面的任何延误都意味着它将无法“在不久的将来继续活跃在该项目中”。
Tower Semiconductor是总部位于阿布扎比的一个财团的技术合作伙伴Next Orbit Ventures该公司竞标30亿美元的模拟65纳米半导体位于古吉拉特邦工业中心Dholera的制造工厂。
戈亚尔还领导着一个政府高科技制造业小组。
消息人士称，近两个月前就任IT部长的瓦什瑙上周与财团进行了电话交谈，了解各种问题，并确保获得支持。
“尽管G2G最高层就拟议中的半导体工厂进行了讨论，但我们感到失望和沮丧……我们不知道要去哪里，”信中写道。
它补充说，政府没有明确的时间表，也没有承诺或透明度。
它说:“我们要求你明确表达并传达GoI(印度政府)及其利益相关者的限制，不要再拖延，否则我们表示无法在不久的将来继续积极参与该项目。”
Tower Semiconductor没有回应本报的询问。
今年早些时候，该财团还与戈亚尔举行了一次会议。
据报道，电子和IT部在发布意向书后，收到了来自20家顶级公司的申请，以衡量愿意在该国建立半导体工厂的公司的兴趣。
政府目前正在推出详细提案的请求，之后将决定补贴的数量。
信中说:“以色列作为印度在许多领域的战略伙伴，考虑到邻国的最新发展，希望参与该项目，使印度实现数字安全印度梦。”
高通CEO对与欧洲代工合作伙伴合作持开放态度
阿蒙在接受采访时表示:“法国政府和欧洲政府正在进行非常有建设性的对话，我认为他们有兴趣吸引晶圆代工厂到欧洲。”
Next Orbit Ventures联合创始人兼董事总经理阿贾伊·贾兰(Ajay Jalan)表示，该公司不能代表其技术合作伙伴发表评论。
“但是，是的，我们作为Next Orbit Ventures和州政府合作伙伴古吉拉特邦，自2017年以来一直在要求包括Hon 'ble总理在内的所有关键印度部委，加快半导体激励措施的决定，以开始我们的项目执行，”Jalan在一封电子邮件中回应ET的询问。
他说，每年的拖延不仅增加了项目的成本，而且就国家安全和竞争力而言，也增加了国家的脆弱性。
贾兰补充说，这也影响了全球技术和投资伙伴对印度决策时间表的信心。
他说:“Next Orbit团队本周再次在德里向该国的决策者提出类似的要求，因为目前的意向书已经花了9个月的时间，如果RFP被称为至少9个月，将推迟这一进程。”

<\/figure>New Delhi: Tower Semiconductor<\/a>, an Israel-based semiconductor foundry, has shot off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking his intervention in fast-tracking a government proposal for chip manufacturing, nine months after it floated an Expression of Interest (EoI) for the same.
The company said any delay from the government\u2019s side will mean it will be unable to \u201cstay active in the project in the near future.\u201d
Tower Semiconductor is the technology partner of a consortium floated by Abu Dhabi-based Next Orbit Ventures<\/a>, which pitched for a $3 billion analogue 65 nanometre semiconductor<\/a> fabrication unit in Dholera, an industrial hub in Gujarat.
<\/div><\/div>ET has seen a copy of the letter, which was also marked to finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, electronics and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal.
Goyal also heads a government panel on high tech manufacturing.
Sources said Vaishnaw, who took over as IT minister nearly two months ago, held a call with the consortium last week to understand various issues and assure support.
\u201cWe are disappointed and demoralized that in spite of the highest G2G level discussion for the proposed semiconductor fab... there is no clue where we are heading,\u201d the letter said.
There have been no clear timelines, nor commitment or transparency from the government, it added.
\u201cWe would request you to kindly explicitly articulate and convey the limitations of GoI (Government of India) and its stakeholder without further delay, else we express our inability to stay active in the project in near future,\u201d it said.
Tower Semiconductor did not respond to ET\u2019s queries.
The consortium also held a meeting with Goyal earlier this year.
The Ministry of Electronics and IT reportedly received applications from 20 top companies after it floated the EoI to gauge the interest of companies willing to set up semiconductor plants in the country.

<\/div><\/div>The semiconductor industry has been arguing that in the wake of a global chip supply shortage and countries like the United States doling out huge subsidies to attract semiconductor manufacturers, the government should act fast on its plans.
The government is currently in the process of rolling out requests for detailed proposals, after which it will decide the quantum of the subsidy.
\u201cIsrael, as an India strategic partner in many areas, would wish to participate in the project to enable India its Digital Safe India dream considering the latest development in its neighbourhood\u2026,\u201d the letter said.
