India’s government has decided to create a domestic computer hardware industry (New York Times, April 15, 2013). This is because India’s import bill for semiconductors alone was $8.2 billion in 2012, and demand is growing at around 20 percent a year. However India has been unable to attract investors. A recent attempt ended in a dispute over the terms of the agreement between a company and the state of Andhra Pradesh where the plant was to be housed. India is offering as much as $2.75 billion in incentives to computer chip makers to entice them to build India’s first semiconductor manufacturing plant, but the head of the U.S.-India Business Council said that India’s efforts to force international companies to manufacture in the country are futile.
