Modi Launches Semiconductor Plant: India’s ₹3700 Crore Chip Facility to Boost Domestic Manufacturing
India’s semiconductor ambitions received a major push as Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for a new chip facility in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The project is a joint venture between Taiwan-based Foxconn and India’s HCL Group, operating under the name India Chip Private Limited.

The advanced Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility will be developed under the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority and is expected to become operational by 2028. With an investment of around ₹3,700 crore, the plant will process up to 20,000 wafers per month and focus on producing display driver chips used in screens and digital displays.

The project is expected to create over 3,500 direct and indirect jobs, strengthening India’s efforts to reduce dependence on imported semiconductors. It forms part of the India Semiconductor Mission, launched in 2021 with a ₹76,000 crore incentive package to build a domestic chip ecosystem.

Several other major semiconductor projects are underway across India, signalling a broader strategy to position the country as a global manufacturing hub and secure critical technology supply chains for the future.

Gaurakshak Ganesh Shelke allegedly assaulted by police after intercepting Gauvansh smugglers in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra.

He caught a truck smuggling cows but cops at spot allegedly beat him severely instead of acting.

They dragged him to station, tried forcing his fingerprints on service gun to frame fake encounter/attack claim.

His brother, a police officer who rushed to intervene and stop the assault, was suspended within hours; Ganesh hospitalised.

AR mocking JP Nadda for his stupidity and lack of spine. This is one of the weak points of the Modi govt. They have still not able to figure out a way to deal with Caste politics which the Congressi+Leftist+Jihadi+Evangelist gang play well with foreign funding. These are not the new things. These things are going on for many decades. It's time to ensure, incompetence and lack of performance should not be rewarded for caste politics. These literally destroys the same people whom reservation is meant to protect. JPNadda will not get treated by the same doctors. It's the poor sections of the society who will suffer because of caste based politics.

uddu ji,

listen carefully to what is being said, and read between the lines, where the truth is usually buried

politicos react like this when their "cut" is in danger, and the likelihood of invaders taking over the lucrative income streams by displacing them looms large in their panic stricken faces. The plant has arrived due to the "efforts" of others and these others will not be denied their rightful dues

dynaaastic generations can live in luxury off a huge plant like this, each job "extracted" would be worth between 10-20 lakhs

do the math and the rest will logically fall into place

the locals don't know and don't care what a helicopter is........

[Sachin]

AR mocking JP Nadda for his stupidity and lack of spine. This is one of the weak points of the Modi govt.

Not only AR, any sane person would mock JP Nadda and BJP if they try to file affidavits which are against common sense and are stupid. If a negative mark scorer gets a PG seat in medical college due to reservation, and if the union government files an affidavits stating that they are MBBS qualified doctors any ways, it just shows how spineless they are. In that case, the next argument in case of MBBS admissions can be that the candidate getting reservation benefits completed his PUC/PDC/+2 and is any way eligible to become an MBBS doctor. The BJP sooner or later are going to get questioned by Hindus from the non-reserved categories, and would also become disinterested in the party if the BJP is actually becoming a Congress v2.0.

Modi lands in Israel today. And the deals being signed tell you this visit was never about diplomacy.

Israel has offered India full technology transfer for Iron Dome and Iron Beam. Not a sale. A transfer. Joint production, domestic manufacturing, integration into India’s multi-layered air defense grid. $8.6 billion in defense agreements expected to be formalized before Modi’s plane leaves Israeli airspace tomorrow.

Iron Beam is the part that should stop you. A 100-kilowatt laser weapon that destroys incoming drones and rockets at $2 per shot. Two dollars. An Iron Dome interceptor costs $50,000 to $100,000 per missile. Iron Beam makes the economics of attrition warfare irrelevant.

Israel has never transferred this technology to anyone. Not the United States. Not the UK. Not Germany.

India is the first.

Now ask yourself why Israel is handing its most advanced defensive technology to the world’s fifth-largest economy this week, of all weeks.

Because Netanyahu is not selling weapons. He is buying an alliance. The “hexagon” he described publicly, a coalition against what he called radical Sunni and Shiite axes, requires India to have skin in the game. You do not give a country your most classified defense technology unless you need that country committed to your security architecture for decades.

Iron Dome technology transfer makes India structurally dependent on Israeli defense integration. Maintenance, upgrades, software updates, threat library sharing, all of it creates institutional ties that outlast any single government.

This is not a transaction. It is a binding commitment disguised as a procurement.

And the timing is the signature.

Modi is addressing the Knesset at 4:30 PM today while a 48-hour deadline expires on Iran. He is signing defense agreements while 11 F-22s sit on Israeli tarmac. He is formalizing a security partnership while Turkey plans border incursions and China sells Iran supersonic anti-ship missiles.

Netanyahu is assembling his coalition before the action, not after. Every alliance signature collected before the first bomb falls becomes a diplomatic asset that cannot be retracted once the operation begins.

India cannot condemn an Israeli military action 48 hours after its Prime Minister stood in the Knesset endorsing the security partnership that enables it.

Modi did not travel to Israel despite the crisis. The crisis is why the invitation was sent.

These technologies are on offer because we have developed the same. Integrated Akashteer system did function extremely well during Op Sindoor, far better than any Iron Dome can offer. Iron Dome missiles are expensive. So the offer of ToT and all that. These offers were not there until we have demonstrated better capabilities and showcased our own similar systems. Attempt at making money, when the Indian's finally have their own system and tech.

As per BJP leadership, now a Pakistani Agent will represent India in Philippines? These people are beyond stupid. This will also help him in arguments in the court, stating he is no Agent, else Government must not have made him a representative of the nation to lead a team to Philippines. Name one country in the world that has appointed a spy to lead a national team. So all the accusations are character assassination and should be shelved. That is a very strong argument and will help him to come back politically as well in Assam.

Gaurav Gogoi named India-Philippines friendship group chief amid BJP claims
https://www.telegraphindia.com/north-ea ... id/2148764

Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi, whom the ruling BJP has repeatedly accused of being a “Pakistani agent”, has been nominated as the president of the India-Philippines Parliamentary Friendship Group, prompting the Opposition to question the credibility of the allegations against the deputy leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha.

In a two-paragraph letter issued on Monday, the Lok Sabha secretariat informed Gogoi of the group and his nomination as its president “for the period of the 18th Lok Sabha” by Speaker Om Birla.

I am actually liking this. Vishwaguru seems to be making rapid paces in reaching the level of Pappu, and at this rate may soon pave way for Congress (with its battalion of allies) to come back to power. It may be only me; but the the current government seems to be more focused on gimmics and optics with electoral victories only remaining in focus. There are incidents now which are causing angst among the non-reservation/forward caste communities as well. Trump's antics are also not helping Vishwaguru in any manner, and main stream media is already targetting his bravado etc.

+108. Well said Uddu ji.

This is the typical playbook adopted by weapons vendors whenever India has achieved maturity in any technology to stunt its adoption/growth. I hope our forces have internalized the success achieved by our indigenous weapon systems and build up on it.

You have hit the nail on the head Sachinji. No one is grudging The concept of reservation itself - the GC wallahs have made peace with it long ago. The final straw is when blatantly one sided laws are being implemented such as the SC/ST act or the more recent UGC act that are wide open for abuse. This, after having prior experience of such type of laws via 498A or the SC/ST act. What was the need for the committee to bring such an act in the university setting? I believe the original draft proposal was fairly balanced - it reached its present form when the BJP members accepted amendments from the likes of Indira Jaisingh and similar.

BJP is believing its own hubris and is going on the same path as Congress 20 years ago. A fall seems imminent. The conspiracy theory is that it is being done on purpose to scupper Yogijis chances next year. It is ironic because BJP is nowhere without Yogi ans vice versa.

[SRajesh]

Sachinji
I take you back to ABV and LKA era.
UPA came in as a Kichdi gobermint.
ABV and LKA were uber confident to call the elections early.
Congi sneaked in because of media created Non-Shining movement and some questionable tactics by BJP going against RSS advice.
Again LKA paid the price in 2019 with stupidoes guiding him like that RS member who is now a mataji stooge.
NaMo and AS are looks like doing the same.
last elections UP results are there for everyone to see.
I am worried that all that was gained since 2019 will vanish because of :
delyed swing to right and Sab ka Haath yada yada, Atmanirbhartha just another name for screwdrivergiri and a private player patina of thin paint, loosing optics even though hammered Pakis, allowing RaGa to play to the galleries rather than finishing him (some beleiving in this media created huwwa about RaGa being best canvasaser for BJP), Muzrai Act/Places of worship/UCC in thanda baxa, etc etc.
Yes thge public is fairly happy with the economy and inflation, but public is fickle and this can change very very quickly.
March 9th they should let loose SuSw and ask him to go all guns blazing against the Famiglia.
And a definite succession plan to be put in place.
Either Yogi or Fadnavis, they need to choose and give them a chance(both battle tested and media savvy)
If As, the i am just afraid that it may turn out like the Non-Shining moment!!
AS is a strategist but not a pan India vote puller
His eyes tell a different story than what he is reciting in public. If they choose him then its surely a Failure!!

[SRajesh]

If I have put it pithyly like Laluji :
Mardangi missing in the third term.
Some forum members might take umbrage to my usage of that word, but I feel they are letting SC mainbaaps, LeLI, International Community etc to dictate what we do.
We have become reactionary both in our tactics and responses.

[Sachin]

I believe the original draft proposal was fairly balanced - it reached its present form when the BJP members accepted amendments from the likes of Indira Jaisingh and similar.

Which also gives an indication that the current set of ministers do not seem to be as savvy as the ones in the first two governments. Add to this; the latest joke of NCERT books having short notes on judiciary and allegations of corruption there. Supreme Court takes umbrage, and immediately NCERT takes a step back. What is the point in adding some thing, and then shamelessly deleting the same?

BJP is believing its own hubris and is going on the same path as Congress 20 years ago.

I get a feeling that BJP too is thinking that they can win by votes from their vote base from the Reservation (benefits) categories, and the general/forward caste groups can now be safely ignored. They may be in the idea that, "secular" parties would not be able to cause in-fighting between Reservation (benefits) categories, but Congress party are champions on that front.

March 9th they should let loose SuSw and ask him to go all guns blazing against the Famiglia.

SuSw is a loose cannon, and on March 9th he may actually fire a few salvos against Vishwaguru .

Some forum members might take umbrage to my usage of that word, but I feel they are letting SC mainbaaps, LeLI, International Community etc to dictate what we do.

I get a feeling that the narccistic tendencies which NaMo had (his dressing style, and certain actions; gives me a feeling that he has such tendencies) seems to be now on the increase, and which may also lead to his fall. It is natural for a person to think that he has grown big, and is now unavoidable or irreplacable. The constant attempts to remain in media highlight, much hyped up foreign visits; earlier they seemed to be for a purpose and there were results being visible also, but don't get the same feeling now.

Perhaps we are seeing the results of some infighting and incompetence in the party and ministries. And a certain reaction from the babudom that has it's own narrow self interest.

If these are not fixed and more bloopers happen in the next couple of months, then we have a serious cause for worry.

Cyrano ji,

Plus they are all forgetting the TINA factor, Modi ji's USP

None exists in the short to medium term

the BIF would not be clamoring for a replacement/political crippling if they did not see the existential danger to themselves that the current ecosystem, (warts and all) with its geopolitical ramifications and wide support from every continent, that India's current PM commands, along with his popular image and the extremely strong nation wide loyal support base, that has won him three undisputed general elections on the trot

The old global order and the colonial alliances that served the goras well enough post WWII have crumbled in front of their incredulous eyes, leaving them virtually defenseless to the manipulations and mischief of the rapacious predators from cheen and amrika

the amrikis made all out efforts to stop the spread of communism in the region, which was their raison d'être for their support to the pakis. This objective morphed malignantly, even as a resolute India began her rise The amrikis did not even bother to stop the rise of what they called "evil" communism in bengal because the goras had a long game in play in the Indian NE.

earlier, as one believes, they had got the commie govt in kerala dismissed using their manchurian candidate to do the dirty

The goras have always been about horses for courses because their ruling elites have, since the 1600's, had a global agenda along with an ability to project military power on a global scale.

Several colonial powers operated their warships on the Indian coasts, with the British Royal Navy and the East India Company's Bombay Marine being the most dominant, followed by Portuguese, French, and Dutch naval forces, as indeed, they operated in many other parts of the world too

amriki pittu youanus repeatedly stressed vital importance of the access of the NE to the sea, which can only happen if the NE were to be broken off by the BIF and isolated from India, and the beedis are a locally coopted member of the BIF and they have the task of demographic change, religious riots, and sectarian violence. A majority of the violence in the dilli riots were orchestrated and carried out by the beedis and rohingyas and this is a congi pattern on a national scale

BTW, one thinks that the reaction of a section of the babooze is nothing but evidence that the sleeper cells are being brought into play, for instance the new and weaponized UGC rules and what not which have caused a strong upsurge of protests against the govt. No one had asked for any change to the UGC rules, so why was is passed and pushed through almost surreptitiously, until it exploded like the social and caste driven IED that it was designed to be

[putnanja]

I thought 2024 results would be wakeup call but BJP seems to be intent on committing harakiri. It's major base has been Hindu base, and even there, mainly middle class/OBCs/GC category. However, it seems to be alienating them. I am also seeing that RaGa is getting more coverage on media and also on SM. Things like Trump's comments on Op Sindoor, US trade deal, UGC one sided rules etc are all gaining more traction. I am also seeing more anger among some general category folks, especially in Hindi belt, after the UGC rules hara-kiri.

If BJP doesnt do course correction soon, issues might quickly start snowballing leading to UP elections. Cong is masters at divide&rule. 2024 has already showed that voters are fickle minded and don't mind shooting themselves in the foot by voting emotionally instead of rationally, TINA be damned!

PM Modi’s speech at the Knesset of Israel

[uddu]

The nation can come up with something like Special Innovation Zone (SIZ) that will be like the SEZ for only innovation and experiments. And people who work in these areas need to pay only half the taxes. Talent from across the nation will move into these zones, where cutting edge technology and innovation happen. Every state can start with One such zone which will expand to the option of one more based on the success of the first. This will help create technologies that a small country like Israel keeps developing. Startups and companies own R&D will increase as the tax benefits etc is very attractive to move their R&D, collaborative ventures with Startups to such zones. This will also prevent the brain drain, when the option to have oppurtunities and better living condition in such zones, make it attractive to move there rather than go abroad.

I don't agree Modiji is being narcissistic and getting swayed by medals etc.

Very true. But there is a hidden Gandhian in Modiji. He is influenced profoundly by Gandian ways, probably coming from Gujarat, this influence is strong in him. There are positives of it and negatives of it. Positives being able to create mass movement. Negative being the inability to go fierce on the enemies of the nation, be it within or outside. For what has Pakistan done in the Governance terms of Modiji, Pakistan must not be on the global map of today. Even tiny puny Bangladesh is given another life. We can only hope that there is Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj or a Raja Rajendra in Modiji who make enemies of the nation disappear.

[Sachin]

But it should be the command ship and the occupants, otherwise a wise backup is an untimely Barrel Burst!!

That is my worry also. SuSw at times seems to be more peeved at Vishawaguru & Co than Italian Madame & Pappu Ghandi. He is a person who is kind of "I take no orders" and a person who can bite the hand which feeds him. In that aspect he is a close companion of the perpetual sore loser Prashant Bhushan.

On UGC and class 8 text book matters they have no choice because SC has been very clear.

On the UGC case, the SC is on the right side. SC rightly interpreted that the wordings of the new statute is very ambigous and can be misused. Where as in case of NCERT book content, the government or NCERT was actually right. There are traces of corruption in judiciary as well, and every one knows of the long pendency of cases as well.

If these are not fixed and more bloopers happen in the next couple of months, then we have a serious cause for worry.

That is my worry as well. How much control does Vishwaguru and A. Shah now have on the cabinet? From what I know, even though the government does relies on JD(U) etc, the key ministries are with the BJP. Vishawaguru is always focused on external tours and perhaps making his name even more well known. But then who is controlling things back at home?

I am also seeing that RaGa is getting more coverage on media and also on SM. Things like Trump's comments on Op Sindoor, US trade deal, UGC one sided rules etc are all gaining more traction. I am also seeing more anger among some general category folks, especially in Hindi belt, after the UGC rules hara-kiri.

Yes. In fact what prompted me to write the few posts above is exactly the same thing. RaGa is now seen more active on social media and main stream media. All posts and reports are in a way he is seen to be challenging Modi. Other than the strip tease incident in the AI summit which back fired on the Congress, there is no major pushback from the BJP machinery. The government stance on Trump's daily rumblings is also not very much visible, where as Ra.Ga and Co are using this to prove that "Goi Silence == Some thing to hide". Even in the case of Epstein files the response seems to be muted. I really miss the days when the BJP IT cell & machinery could make Pappu look like a Pappu every single day. The best being how they turned one part of his statment - "machine which takes potato on one end, and churns out Gold from the other end" into a weapon using which the BJP cadre hit back at Pappu & Co even today. That kind of punch is now missing.

[Zynda]

Although i would vote for NaMo/BJP in the near future, I am terribly disappointed in the admin handling of MoD/defense procurement, especially indigenous programs induction and funding. Slowly, many of the policies (freebies etc.) seem to be a rehashed version of what existed during INC rule or being reactive proposition to counter the Cong. Cong knows what populism policies to come up to keep India contained (with ample inputs from BIF) and instead of countering with innovate policies, BJP seem to be doing a slightly town-downed version or reworded versions of the same policies.

Anyways, why to increase BP...
