Aaditya Thackeray said the current government has lost confidence of investors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mumbai: <\/b><\/p>\n

Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray hit out at the Maharashtra government after Gujarat bagged the Rs 1.54 lakh crore venture for India’s first semiconductor plant<\/a>. Mining conglomerate Vedanta and Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn have decided to jointly build the plant in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad. Gujarat pipped Maharashtra<\/a> in a close race to win the plant location.<\/p>\n

Aaditya Thackeray said that the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra had worked extremely hard to try and win the project.<\/p>\n

“It was almost decided that the plant will come up in Maharashtra,” said Aaditya Thackeray, who served as a cabinet minister in the MVA government headed by the Shiv Sena.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur MVA government had brought this to the final stage. The current
dispensation has lost the confidence of potential investors, hence such mega projects are not coming here,” he added.<\/p>\n

\n

Although I’m glad to see this in India, I am a bit shocked to see this.
New dispensation had tweeted photos, claiming to have brought this to Maharashtra, but it seems intent\/ commitment was to send this away from Maharashtra.

The Sena leader said the mega project would have supported 160 ancillary industries and generated 70,000 to 1 lakh employment opportunities in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n

Targetting Chief Minister Eknath Shinde<\/a>, Mr Thackeray said, “The new dispensation tweeted photos, claiming to have brought this (project) to Maharashtra but it seems intent or commitment was to send this away from Maharashtra.”<\/p>\n

Vedanta and Foxconn will set up India’s first semiconductor production plant, a display fab unit, and a semiconductor assembling and testing unit in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n

Semiconductor chips, or microchips, are essential pieces of many digital consumer products – from cars to mobile phones and ATM cards.<\/p>\n

Most of the world’s chip output is limited to a few countries like Taiwan and late entrant India is now actively luring companies to “usher in a new era in electronics manufacturing” as it seeks ways to have seamless access to chips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
