NEW DELHI : Carl Zeiss India is investing over €250 million to build a spectacle lens production facility in Bengaluru, which will be the German optical systems group’s largest ‘vision’ factory in the world, a senior company executive said.
Some solutions are actually simple, such as sun-dried tomatoes which can ease farmers burden of low prices and help reduce inflation in during rains. I think we, especially middle classes, whine too much about food.VKumar wrote:Monsoon rains
In India packaged food is expensive compared to what's available on the street. One reason is street shops are temporary and no overhead of maintaining the shop.Kakkaji wrote:What is the availability, and prevalence of usage among middle class households, of canned tomatoes (chopped or paste) in India today?
During my bachelor days in the US, I found them to be convenient and cost-effective for all my Indian cooking.
For city folks only. Smaller towns and villages do not have that problem.VKumar wrote:Fresh vegetables lose their nutritional values in the time they reach the vegetable vendor.
Indians still cook at home mostly with fresh ingredients. Food outside is mostly cheap from local produce and very low overhead. All the restaurants you see in cities is very low % and does not map to majority of the population. So investing in large scale canning and cold storage will need lot of govt support/subsidy.This was a strange tie up to begin with. Neither company had any semiconductor expertise. Vedanta was also over leveraging to make such a large investmentdrnayar wrote: ↑10 Jul 2023 19:43 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/bus ... 641794.cms

looks more like dispute between Vedanta and Foxconn over share of investment
Electronics giant #Foxconn to apply SEPARATELY to set up semiconductor manufacturing unit in Bharat after exiting J/V with Vedanta...to take advantage of PLI offered by #ModiGovt under its semiconductor manufacturing policy.
Foxconn is aggressively planning to enter Bharat's semiconductor market by collaborating with International Partners

4-5 lines would be along the lines of 4-5 billion usd.. they would have access to tech from their many industrial partners given that their base expertise. Also they could leverage on the government promotions running into as many billions and support. All that in a booming market of the future with an early mover advantage.

Intel, Canon and Nikon (leaders in the field at the time), as well as ASML and Silicon Valley Group (SVG) all sought licensing, however Congress denied Japanese companies the necessary permission as they were perceived as strong technical competitors at the time, and should not benefit from taxpayer-funded research at the expense of American companies.[9] In 2001 SVG was acquired by ASML, leaving only a single company as the sole benefactor of the critical technology.[10]
By 2018 Dutch company ASML succeeded in deploying the EUV-LLC IP after several decades of developmental research, with incorporation of European-funded EUCLIDES (Extreme UV Concept Lithography Development System) and long-standing partner German optics manufacturer ZEISS and synchrotron light source supplier Oxford Instruments.
The white countries collectively deny technology to even honorary white countries like Japan. And this is how US keeps a tight leash on the 'me too superpower' white countries by throwing crumbs like allowing one or two world leading companies to emerge in those countries.Because it is such a key technology for development in many fields, the United States licenser pressured Dutch authorities to not sell these machines to China. ASML has followed the guidelines of Dutch export controls and until further notice, will have no authority to ship the machines to China.[13]
Nikon and Canon were the original technology leaders in microlithography but struggled to make a uvmicro machine. Somehow ASML, which spun out of Phillips Semiconductors in the Netherlands managed to produce a costeffective machine and has become the leading edge supplier but the Japanese a still competitive . Now the Chinese are putting in the effort, spurred on by the US boycott. This iares will have new suppliers coming soon. The US of course were once leadres in the field and I believe Lam Research is their leasing company but they may also revive their industry.Pratyush wrote: ↑23 Jul 2023 13:05 https://www.nikon.com/company/technolog ... conductor/
This page shows process node of 5 NM and 2.1 NM.
This appears to be competitive with ASML.

Canon also has 5 nm machine.
Tokyo Electron Limited has a 10 nm node.

The Japanese are either on the leading edge. Or are very close to it.
