BANGALORE, India— A fab amidst chaos... that's what India is planning, and delaying as usual. The deadline given by the Empowered Committee to give an answer was June 30, but a deafening silence continues to come from the red-carpeted corridors of power.
There have been rumors and reports that Tower Semiconductor Ltd. of Migdal Haemek, Israel, has won a long-term contract to run a wafer fab under a protracted two-year selection process, but no confirmation as yet. And without governmental approval, nothing will move. India has been here before and failed to execute.
Just to step back a little; India has no clean power.
