The World Nano-Economic Congress (WNEC) Comes to IndiaThe reasons for the WNEC coming to India are enormous. With the Indian stock market hitting record highs, an annual productionof engineering graduates five times higher than the United States,and industries from textiles to automotive already taking advantageof nanotechnologies for both domestic and export markets, India is poised to be one of the 21st Century's nanotech winners.The WNEC India represents the first opportunity to attend a business-focused conference with an international scope on the nanotech-nology developments in India. With an Agenda that offers Tracked Sessions on the Industries thatare most active in adopting nanotechnologies into their products,you will get the most effective look how nanotechnology is enablingIndia industry and meet the players in India that are making this revolution happen.

postponed... :-(

http://www.indianexpress.com/story/15323.html Chennai, October 24: Semindia Fab is postponing its proposed $3 billion investment to set up India's first chip manufacturing plant as it was unable to agree with the government on financial support to the unit's shareholding. Instead, it will set up a smaller facility for assembly, testing, manufacturing and packaging of memory chips (ATMC) next year, and review investment plans once a more favourable policy is announced by the Centre.

Fab-in-India : what does it mean ?

Background Year 2000 : Dr V.K Aatre, the then head of DRDO was giving a talk at IITMadras. Among many things, one point stood out. "India's future lies in being able to develop hardware at home, especialy device fabrication. Even for Power transistors India is needing to have to depend on imports. My hope is in you, the future generation..... " Year 2001: One of those days, when I had a friendly chat with my BTech project guide at IITM, Dr K N Bhat. My question was simple. What are the current and future chances of fab in India. He briefed me about how IITM, IGCAR, ITI Bangalore, DRDO and a few other players collaborate to make some basic chips. Looking forward, he was hopeful about the technolgy village (??) that was predicted to come up in Thoothukudi.. By the time you finish your PhD, they would be ready to take the first batch of students .. and in total 15 years, they would complete the three stages of development For some one who had somewhere at that time that the ...

10 billion ? really ?

http://www.rediff.com/money/2007/feb/23semi.htm Semiconductor policy aims at $10 billion investmentFebruary 23, 2007 01:09 ISTLast Updated: February 23, 2007 01:40 IST In a move that is perceived as a partial victory for the high-tech manufacturing sector in India and expected to attract investments of over $10 billion, besides generating employment, the Central government has announced a host of incentives in its much-awaited semiconductor policy, to buoy the semiconductor ecosystem. The government will bear 20 per cent of the capital expenditure in the first 10 years if a unit is located inside Special Economic Zones and 25 per cent in case of other units. The countervailing duty on capital goods would also be exempted in case of units outside SEZs. For semiconductor manufacturing (wafer fabs) plants, the threshold Net Present Value of investments would be Rs 2,500 crore and the NPV of investments for manufacturing other products would be Rs 1,000 crore. Assuming the projects have a ...
