ISMC Said to Invest $3 Billion in India's Karnataka to Set Up Chip-Making Plant

International semiconductor consortium ISMC will invest $3 billion (roughly Rs. 22,940 crore) in India’s southern Karnataka state to set up a chip-making plant, the state government said on Sunday.
ISMC is a joint venture between Abu Dhabi-based Next Orbit Ventures and Israel’s Tower Semiconductor. US chip giant Intel has announced plans to acquire Tower.
India’s first semiconductor fabrication unit is expected to generate more than 1,500 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs, the state’s investment promotion division said in a tweet.
ISMC and Indian conglomerate Vedanta have applied for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s $10 billion (roughly Rs. 76,473 crore) incentive plan to push companies to set up semiconductor and display operations in India, the government’s next big bet on electronics manufacturing.
Vedanta told Reuters on Saturday it was in “advanced talks” with Gujarat and Maharashtra in west India and Telangana in the south to choose a site by mid-May. It has a planned investment outlay of $20 billion (roughly Rs. 1,52,973 crore) for its semiconductor and display push.
Modi and his IT ministers outlined plans on Friday for investment incentives in the sector, saying they want India to become a key player in a global chip market dominated by manufacturers in Taiwan and a few other countries.
India’s semiconductor market is forecast to grow to $63 billion (roughly Rs. 4,81,865) by 2026 from $15 billion (roughly Rs. 1,14,729) in 2020, the government says.

Microsoft is reportedly bringing the printing capabilities from Windows 11 to Windows 10. The new printing feature is said to introduce the option to add a PIN to a print job. This step is said to be added to avoid duplicate connections and incorrect printouts. The update is said to be part of the Windows 10 version 22H2 update. It was reported last month that Microsoft is switching to a new development schedule for Windows. Windows 11 was also reportedly said to be getting a feature called ‘Privacy Auditing’ that will help users look at the apps accessing their microphone, camera, and location data.
According to a recent report by Windows Latest, Microsoft is bringing the printing capabilities of Windows 11 to Windows 10, as a part of its Windows 10 version 22H2 update. This is said to include features that were exclusive to Windows 11, including the option to add a PIN to a print job. This feature is expected to help to avoid duplicate connections as well as incorrect printouts.
As mentioned earlier, Microsoft was reportedly switching to a new development schedule for Windows operating system. It is expected that the company is going back to its traditional three-year cycle, which could mean that the next major version might get released in 2024. This version could be Windows 12 if the company chooses to stick with its current naming trend, as per the report. Microsoft is also expected to double down on releasing new features for the current version of Windows.
To recall, Windows 11 was also reportedly said to be getting a feature called ‘Privacy Auditing’ that will help users look at apps accessing their microphone, camera, and location data. Microsoft had initially introduced the feature to app developers for testing. However, it will be available to Windows 11 users in the future to let them decide whether they should continue to use the apps that are tracking their sensitive data on the system.
