Want only serious players, no place for frivolous applicants in Semicon 2.0: Vaishnaw to industry
IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday said the government’s semiconductor programme, as well as manufacturing schemes for components and mobile phones are meant only for serious, technologically capable players and that there is no place for “frivolous” applicants.
“We don’t want placeholders,” Vaishnaw said in a strong message to the industry, and added that he had asked IT Secretary to remove 18-19 non-serious players from the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) list as well.
