China urges Japan not to disrupt chip industry after tech curbs take effect

China's government appealed to Japan on Monday not to disrupt the semiconductor industry after curbs on exports of Japanese chip-making technology took effect, adding to technology restrictions Washington and its allies have imposed on China on security grounds. The Japanese restrictions that took effect Sunday limit Chinese access to tools for etching microscopically small circuits on advanced chips for smartphones, artificial intelligence and other applications. The Netherlands also joined the United States in limiting access to chipmaking tools that Washington says could be used to develop weapons. We are deeply dissatisfied and regret the act, said a foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning. She urged Japan to prevent relevant measures from interfering with the normal semiconductor industry cooperation between the two countries. The ruling Communist Party has invested billions of dollars in building Chinese chip foundries but needs Western and Japanese technology to produce the .

Vedanta yet to submit application for chip unit, find partner after Foxconn

Vedanta Group's application for semiconductor manufacturing has become invalid after exit of Taiwanese electronics manufacturing major Foxconn and the company is yet to submit a fresh application, an official source said. According to the source, Vedanta has not shared any information about a new technology partner that it needs to rope in for semiconductor manufacturing. "Vedanta needs to re-apply for semiconductor manufacturing. Meity (Ministry of Electronics and IT) has no information about their new technology partner," the official source said. Vedanta had re-applied under a modified semiconductor plan with Foxconn as joint venture partner. Hon Hai Technology Group, also known as Foxconn, earlier this month pulled out of the joint venture with Vedanta's USD 19.5 billion chip project and said it intends to apply for incentives under the government's semiconductor production plan. After Foxconn's pull out, Vedanta said it has lined up partners and will begin a foray into ...

Foxconn proposes to set up Rs 8,800 cr manufacturing plant in Karnataka

Foxconn, a major iPhone assembler for Apple, has proposed to set up a Rs 8,800 crore supplementary plant to that of the unit at Devanahalli Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) in Karnataka, the state's Large and Medium Industries Minister M B Patil said on Monday. The Chief Minister Siddaramaiah chaired a high-level meeting with the delegates of Foxconn Industrial Internet (Fii), headed by its CEO, Brand Cheng, in this regard, he said. As per the proposal, Fii, a subsidiary of Foxconn (formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd), has a plan to invest Rs 8,800 Crore. "This would create 14,000 jobs and the land required for the project is about 100 acres," Patil said. The delegates of the Fii would be taken to Tumakuru to examine the available land at Japan Industrial Township near the district headquarters town. The Information Technology Minister Priyank Kharge and Chief Secretary Vandita Sharma were also present in the meeting. "Fii will engage in manufactur

Foxconn backing out of semiconductor JV credit negative for Vedanta: Report

Taiwan's Foxconn pulling out of a USD 20 billion semiconductor-making venture with Vedanta Ltd is a "credit negative" for the mining conglomerate's UK parent Vedanta Resources, debt research firm CreditSights said on Thursday. Hon Hai Technology Group, also known as Foxconn, earlier this week pulled out of the chipmaking joint venture with Vedanta and said it intends to apply for incentives under the government's semiconductor production plan. Vedanta Ltd on Wednesday said it has lined up partners and will begin a foray into chip-making this year. The chip-making venture was previously parked in units under the parent firm but last week Vedanta Ltd took over the special-purpose vehicles. "Since the semiconductor venture will be now parked directly under Vedanta Ltd (VEDL), we see a higher probability that a good portion of the project funding will come from VEDL," CreditSights, a part of the Fitch Group, said in a note. Foxconn's exit from the joint venture will also result in the

Foxconn withdrawal has no impact on India's semiconductor goals: MoS IT

Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn's decision to pull out of Vedanta joint venture has no impact on India's semiconductor fabrication plant goal, minister of state for electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Monday. Foxconn has decided to pull out of the semiconductor joint venture with Indian conglomerate Vedanta. "This decision of Foxconn to withdraw from its JV wth Vedanta has no impact on India's Semiconductor Fab goals. None," Chandrasekhar tweeted. Vedanta Foxconn JV had announced the setting up of India's first electronic chip manufacturing unit in Gujarat with an investment of around USD 1.5 lakh crore. "Its not for govt to get into why or how two private companies choose to partner or choose not to, but in simple terms it means both companies can & will now pursue their strategies in India independently, and wth appropriate technology partners in Semicon n Electronics," Chandrasekhar tweeted. The minister said that both Foxconn and Vedanta have significant
