The Union government has extended the last date for submission of Expression of Interest (EoI) by chip manufacturers to November 25. The earlier deadline was November 6. This mean the government has given companies more time to file initial papers to set up fabrication units in the country.
A statement by Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeiTY) said that to attract the maximum number of FAB manufacturers from all over the globe, the government had recently decided to apprise all such manufacturers of the quantum of subsidy and other benefits being offered for establishing FAB manufacturing facilities in India.
