Foxconn to Withdraw from $19.5 Billion Semiconductor Joint Venture with Vedanta

With Taiwan's Foxconn exiting the joint venture, Vedanta becomes India's first semiconductor company.

The electronics maker commented, “Foxconn has determined it will not move forward on the joint venture with Vedanta,”.

Foxconn said it had worked with Vedanta for more than a year to bring “a great semiconductor idea to reality”, but they had mutually decided to end the joint venture, and it will remove its name from what now is a fully-owned Vedanta entity.
