Intel considers India for chip manufacturing (ComputerWeekly)

This is big news because while many other semi-conductor companies have design centers in India, no one has a fab. An Indian fab will be a great way to attract more hi-tech manufacturing business as well as talent. It would have been even better if the fab was independent i.e. not built by one company but this is a great way to start. Maybe once the fab starts production, capital might be available for private fabs.

Intel is also funding e-learning projects in India. It has signed separate pacts with three states -- Uttaranchal, Kerala and Karnataka -- on specific learning and e-government projects.
