NEW YORK -- A Japanese-led consortium is reportedly planning to rescue Renesas Electronics by blocking an attempt by the U.S. private equity firm KKR's to purchase the ailing chip company, Japan's economic journal Nikkei reported Friday (Sept. 21).
The new consortium includes Toyota Motor, Panasonic and a Japanese government-backed fund called the Innovation Network Corp. of Japan (INCJ).
