Thanks for the information but what exactly has this to do with the original line of argument about there being better places than WB for the location of this fab ?

For starters this isn't your normal commercial fab which itself would be a high security area but it's a military grade lab where not only vital components for India but the US & the west will be fabricated here meaning the security would have to what it is in a N plant complex or any other top secret site .

Besides according to the co founder the location is still undecided .

Btw the Shakti lab has nothing to do with Global Foundries . Here the firm involved is 3rdiTECH - a recent start up which has rapidly developed into a prime vendor to the Indian armed forces having won a few prestigious awards recently.

Apparently they hold a few IPRs which have NatSec implications which probably explains the reason the US was so malleable to setting up a fab in India in some sort of a JV (?) . What exactly does the US bring to this venture is not clear as of now ?

We need to make sure that US is not doing this to create a backdoor into Indian electronics and snoop on Indian forces using Indian products.
