Solar Fabs in India

Posted by palanis on March 7, 2007

The other day after writing my previous blog on India’s latest incentive policy semiconductor fabs, I was wondering that for the short term there might not be that much scope for chip fabs. This is because the current world demand is being served by the fabs in US and Asia. With so many chip fabs coming up in China, it will be very tough for India to break the entry barrier. Attracting Solar fabs instead might be a wise idea mainly due to 2 reasons: 1. Competition from China and Taiwan would be lesser; 2. Moreover the solar cells is a capacity limited market right now: Demand exceeds supply.
