South Asian Business news and information

India may be the top name in IT outsourcing but India is far behind than many South East Asian countries when it comes to hardware and manufacturing. Intel did not want to set up a chip plant in India. Recently, Canon bosses also ruled out any idea of setting up a manufacturing plant in India. So, the media speculations that AMD is considering the idea of having a chip plant in India surprised me.

 India Times wrote:

AMD's chip production efforts in India have been limited so far to its involvement with SemIndia, a consortium of investors that plans to set up a wafer fabrication, and assembly and test operation in India.

Ruiz said the new facility would be vital in designing and delivering industry-leading solutions tailored to the needs of its customers all over the world.

The R&D teams in Bangalore are playing a lead role on AMD's first 45-nanometre (nm) quad-core microprocessor, code-named Shanghai.

If AMD really does so then I would say that AMD bosses are smarter than Intel and Canon bosses. India is not a bad place for manufacturing. World’s leading automakers have already understood this matter. It is time that computer companies can understand it soon.
