"We have finances available. To be clear, this is happening from HCL Corporate. From my company's standpoint, HCL Tech, we are interested in establishing skills in that space and see it as a huge opportunity "He stated.

HCL Group intends to establish a chip wafer production plant for 65-nanometer nodes utilised in the automotive, consumer durables, and low-cost device industries.

In electronic chip manufacture, HCL Technologies presently collaborates with semiconductor companies such as Intel, NXP, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), and Applied Materials.

HCL's semiconductor plant, according to Saithu, will assist HCL Technologies complete its end-to-end offering in electronic manufacture.
