US-based semiconductor equipment company Applied Materials is investing about Rs 3,600 crore in Karnataka, according to NDTV. The company’s planned activities are focused in Bengaluru.
The investment is described as supporting multiple parts of the semiconductor value chain, including research and development, chip production software, and equipment manufacturing. NDTV frames the move as an expansion of semiconductor-related work in the state, with Bengaluru as the centre for these efforts.
