India Semicon Industry Should Tap Japanese MNCs
by Chitra Giridhar
“India should take proactive approach to woo Japanese MNCs in the semiconductor space,” advises Dhanukonda Rama, Director, SoCrates Software India Pvt Ltd (a Toshiba Group Company). He believes that many Japanese companies are interested in setting up base in India but are deterred by the cultural differences, perceived lack of manufacturing abilities and quality consciousness. As evidence, he points to the recent burst of investment from many MNCs in India--but none of them are from Japan. Among the companies that recently announced is Tessolve Services, which provides solutions for test development, failure analysis and reliability tests for semi-conductor companies. Tessolve plans to set up a testing, assembling, packaging and prototyping facility in South India. The company plans to invest $200 million over four years. Swedish giant Ericsson also announced its plans to invest $100 million in India.
Earlier SemIndia, a semiconductor manufacturing company set up by a consortium of non resident Indians, finalized plans to set up chip manufacturing plant in Andhra Pradesh. SemIndia will spend $1 billion in the first phase of constructing the $3-billion plant, which includes testing and assembly.
