This deal will be setting the company back by Rs. 24,000 crores as they play a major part in India’s $ 10 billion USD road map to make the country one of the largest players in the world semiconductor industry; something that the government of India has identified to become a lucrative industry in the coming years as digitization becomes ubiquitous all across the globe.

Over 3,000 people are set find employment directly from this new plant and much more people will find employment opportunities indirectly from this deal. Telangana is slowly becoming one of the most business friendly states in the country as they look to become and business and especially tech powerhouse of the country and as India is looking to become a heavyweight in the world semiconductor field, this deal will place Telangana as a lucrative state to set their business in.
