At the end of 2021, there was quite a lot of noise when it came to India's homegrown semiconductor fab initiative, where the nation was trying to win over Intel, as well as some other semiconductor manufacturers. It would appear that the Indian government has stepped up its efforts and is now actively pitching to Intel, GlobalFoundries and TSMC. The main person behind this is said to be Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the minister of state for technology and entrepreneurship and a former Intel engineer. So far it seems like Chandrasekhar hasn't gotten very far according to the article The Economic Times, where he states that "We're meeting the CEOs, talking to them, making presentations."
On the other hand, recent news has suggested that Foxconn is interested in setting up some kind of foundry in India, in a partnership with local Vedanta Group. It's unclear what kind of semiconductors this would be for though, especially as Vedanta is mostly in the mining industry. The various Indian states are said to be very keen on the other hand, both in terms of getting new industry, but also in getting new investments. Earlier this month, during his tour of several Asian countries, Intel's CEO, Pat Gelsinger had a meeting with the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, but what came of that meeting is unclear. India is hoping to be able to reproduce the success it has had when it comes to manufacturing smartphones locally, with Samsung, Nokia and Xiaomi producing locally, as well as Taiwanese Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron, who contract manufacture Apple devices. However, semiconductors are far more complex to make than smartphones, so if India isn't willing to play the long game, it's unlikely much will come of its attempts to attract semiconductor foundries.
