India is to get a $10bn semiconductor wafer fab investment and one of the investors is IBM, recently rumoured to be considering an exit from all chip-making. This investment in an Indian mega-fab would seem to throw cold water on this move. India’s government at approved the building of two semiconductor wafer fabs by a group of chip firms including IBM, TowerJazz and STMicroelectronics. IBM remains a key source of manufacturing technology for many companies, so a suggestion that it may pull out of the business sent a shockwave through the industry earlier this month.
