Foxconn drops $20bn India factory plan

In recent years, several other firms have announced plans to build semiconductor factories in India. Last month, US memory chip giant Micron said it would invest up to $825m to build a semiconductor assembly and test facility in India. Apple supplier Foxconn has pulled out of a $19.5bn (£15.2bn) deal with Indian mining giant Vedanta to build a chip making plant in the country. The move comes less than a year after the companies announced plans to set up the facility in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat.  Last year, it created a $10bn fund to attract more investors to the sector, in a bid to become less reliant on foreign chipmakers. Do you think that Foxconn dropping out is due to India’s market conditions compared China?
