- U.S. chipmaker Intel INTC.O and 3DGS Inc. USA will invest about $3.3 billion to set up a substrate manufacturing plant in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, the Indian government said on Friday.

Here are some details:

  • The project is expected to create more than 1,800 direct high-skilled jobs.

  • Substrates are the bedrock material on which elements of a semiconductor device are attached.

  • New Delhi has pledged billions of dollars in subsidies to attract semiconductor plants and related manufacturing as a part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's wider push to build more products locally.

  • The plant, planned to be set up in the Bhubaneswar-Khurda region over a period of five to six years, will focus on advanced packaging glass core substrates, high-density interconnect substrates and associated semiconductor technologies.
