First Made-in-India e-chips by Dec 2024: Ashwini Vaishnaw

First Made-in-India chips are expected to be rolled out by December 2024, Union Minister for Communications and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Friday.

The minister said 4-5 semiconductor plants are likely to be set up in the country within a year, and computer memory chip makers Micron Technologies USD 2.75 billion plant will also bring around 200 smaller units as part of the ecosystem.

"First Made-in-India chip will be out by December 2024," Vaishnaw said while briefing the media after a joint statement issued by US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the US.

He said that land allocation, factory design work and tax compliance-related agreement for the Micron semiconductor plant to be set up in Gujarat has been completed.

"First Made-in India chip from Micron is expected to come out in about six quarters from now," Vaishnaw said.

Computer storage chip maker Micron will set up its semiconductor assembly and test plant in Gujarat, entailing a total investment of USD 2.75 billion (around 22,540 crore).

The total cost of the plant comprises USD 825 million from Micron and the rest from the government in two phases. Phased construction of the facility is expected to begin in 2023. Phase 1, which will include 5,00,000 square feet of planned clean room space, will be operational in late 2024.

"The turnover of this project at full capacity will be close to a billion dollars," Vaishnaw said.

Micron has said the plant will create up to 5,000 new direct jobs and 15,000 community jobs over the next several years.

"Hopefully, we should have 4-5 semiconductor plants in the next 12 months," Vaishnaw said.

Micron is among the top five semiconductor companies in the world. (PTI)

PM Modi, US President urge Pakistan to ensure its territory is not used to launch extremist attacks

President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Pakistan to make sure that its territory is not used to launch extremist attacks, the White House said in a joint statement on Thursday, The Express Tribune reported.

"They strongly condemned cross-border terrorism, the use of terrorist proxies and called on Pakistan to take immediate action to ensure that no territory under its control is used for launching terrorist attacks," the White House said.

Relations between India and Pakistan have been under stress for years now. Since British colonial rule in the Indian subcontinent ended in 1947, the nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan have fought three wars, two of them over the Muslim-majority Himalayan region of Kashmir.

For years now, India has accused Pakistan of helping militants who have battled with Indian security forces in Kashmir since the late 1980s. However, Pakistan denied the accusation and said that it only provides diplomatic and moral support for Kashmiris seeking self-determination, as per The Express Tribune.

"President Biden and Prime Minister Modi reiterated the call for concerted action against all UN-listed terrorist groups including Al-Qaeda, ISIS/Daesh, Lashkar e-Tayyiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and Hizb-ul-Mujhahideen," the joint statement said.

The founder of the militant Lashkar-e-Taiba group, Hafiz Saeed, is mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which over 160 people were killed over three days, beginning the evening of Nov 26.

"They (Biden and Modi) called for the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks to be brought to justice," their joint statement said.

Moreover, in the 2016 attack on India's Pathankot air base, seven Indian security personnel were killed, according to The Express Tribune. (ANI)

Indo-US joint statement reduces Pakistan to promoter of cross-border terrorism: Imran Khan

Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan on Friday said that the joint statement issued by India and the US during the ongoing state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to America has reduced the country to a "promoter of cross-border terrorism in India and nothing more".

In their joint statement following one-on-one meetings and delegation-level talks on Thursday, Prime Minister Modi and US President Joe Biden called on Pakistan to punish perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks.

Later, Prime Minister Modi in his address to the Joint Meeting of the US Congress said there can be "no ifs or buts" in dealing with terrorism and sought action against state sponsors of terrorism, in a veiled attack on Pakistan.

He said that more than two decades after 9/11 and more than a decade after 26/11 in Mumbai, radicalism and terrorism still remain a pressing danger for the whole world.

Khan, also the chief of the Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party, criticised the current coalition government Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and the former Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa for their fake high claims and countless trips to the US.

"The question we want to ask from former Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and PDM is that after a year in government and countless trips of Pakistan's FM to the US, the joint India/US statement reduces Pakistan to a promoter of cross-border terrorism in India and nothing more," Khan said in a series of tweets on Friday.

PM Modi, Biden share many light moments at state dinner

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the stellar achievements of Indian-Americans in his remarks at the state dinner in which he had his high-profile guests often in laughter.

Modi recalled that during a dinner hosted for him in 2014, he could not eat anything as he was on a Navratri fast while Biden, then vice-president, often enquired with concern that if there is an urging he can eat during the fast. (PTI)
