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.
