Bangalore: About half the investments that are coming up from companies that want to avail themselves of the benefits of the ‘semiconductor policy’ are for producing photovoltaic wafers.

This is clear from the details of the proposed investments given by Jairam Ramesh, the Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry.

These include a $1-billion investment by Solar Semiconductor, $2 billion by Moser Baer, $750 million by Titan Energy and $250 million by Videocon Group.

Ramesh was glad that such investments were coming into technologies for harnessing solar energy.
