THE HAGUE: Dutch tech giant ASML signed a deal with Tata Electronics Saturday to help build and scale up a semi-conductor plant in India, overseen by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his tour of the Netherlands.
ASML, which makes cutting-edge machines to manufacture semi-conductors, said it would “enable the establishment and ramp-up” of the Dholera plant in Modi’s home state of Gujarat in western India.
The Dutch firm would deploy its advanced lithography tools in the plant, which allow for the rapid mass production of high-tech microchips, found in everything from cars to mobile phones.
