Fab pact: A harbinger of good things ahead

26 Sep 2024

In a significant milestone, the United States and India reached an agreement to establish a semiconductor plant in India that will cater to national security and defence. As a Quad member whose interests largely align with the US, India makes for a compelling partner in the face of China’s emergence as a major geostrategic threat and technological challenge. More specifically, this latest agreement is the result of an initiative between Bharat Semi, 3rdiTech, and the United States Space Force (USSF). Critical materials essential for semiconductor development and manufacturing—such as infrared, gallium nitride, and silicon carbide—are central to the agreement. What makes this agreement stand out is its unique collaborative nature, involving a key branch of the US military, the USSF, and Indian industry.
