The business has previously submitted an application to get rewards for producing 28 nm chips. It has since changed its application to produce and receive 40 nm chips.
The business has previously submitted an application to get rewards for producing 28 nm chips. According to news reports, it has since changed its application to produce 40 nm chips and qualify for incentives in that category.
The IT ministry changed the requirements for applying for incentives earlier this year in May and announced that applicants would now be able to submit applications as soon as they either have a production-grade technology or a collaboration with such a company.
In October of last year, the central government decided to grant a flat incentive of 50% to all successful applicants regardless of the type of tech they were bringing into the country. This change in policy came before the current one.
When the 45-day window for businesses to apply under the India Semiconductor Mission was open from January 1 to February 14, 2022, only VFSL, Next Orbit Ventures, which has teamed with Israel’s Tower Semiconductor, and Singapore-based IGSS Ventures had submitted applications for incentives.
