Foxconn will sign a million workers in India

Taiwan-based manufacturer Foxconn plans to build up to 12 new factories in India, employing nearly one million workers, by 2020, according to media reports.

Foxconn CEO Terry Gou, in an interview to NDTV Gadgets, said his company plans to set up manufacturing units in India, as quickly as possible. He also stressed this would require a push from the Indian government as well.

Gou was on a tour of India, visiting New Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, among other places. The Financial Times reported that Gou had announced plans to establish a fund to invest in Indian technology start-ups.

Speaking to NDTV, Gou said the response from governments, both at the Centre and state-level, was much more positive and encouraging than it was 10 years ago. “(Prime Minister Narendra) Modi has pushed for development, I like your Make in India, Skill India,” he said. “You have software, you have content, you need hardware and now Modi has made it your goal.”

Foxconn had opened its first plant in Chennai a decade ago when, Gou said, the government was not supportive enough towards manufacturing.

“Indian local (state) government is also much friendlier now,” he said. “I met with the chief ministers of three of your states, AP (Andhra Pradesh), Gujarat, and Maharashtra. (The CMs of) Gujarat and Maharashtra came to China, and saw my facilities, and they’re keen that we set up in their states. Ten years ago, government was not friendly.”

British satellites set to ride Indian rocket into space

India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle is set for liftoff Friday with five satellites built in Britain to look down on Earth and test a solar sail’s ability to clean up space junk.

The PSLV is counting down for launch at 1628 GMT (12:28 p.m. EDT) Friday from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on India’s east coast, where liftoff is timed for 9:58 p.m. local time.

India’s workhorse launcher, first developed more than 20 years ago, will make its 30th flight Friday, aiming to delivery its five satellite payloads to an orbit 647 kilometers — 402 miles — above Earth.

Three Earth observing satellites made by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd., or SSTL, are the main passengers on Friday’s launch. The spacecraft are the fruits of a 2011 deal inked between Chinese and UK companies worth approximately $170 million to provide high-resolution satellite imagery of China’s growing cities.

The trio of satellites are part of the so-called DMC3 constellation, and together the three platforms can image the same place on Earth daily, according to SSTL officials.

The DMC3 satellites were manufactured under contract to DMC International Imaging, or DMCii, a subsidiary of SSTL. DMCii coordinates a network of Earth observation satellites owned operators based in the UK, China, Spain and Nigeria for commercial imagery sales and humanitarian emergencies.

The acronym DMC stands for Disaster Monitoring Constellation, and DMCii is based in Guildford, near SSTL’s headquarters.

DMCii ordered the three new satellites after it struck a deal with Beijing-based 21AT, which sells imagery to the Chinese government to monitor urban growth, land and water resources, pollution and natural disasters. Under the terms of the agreement, 21AT is leasing 100 percent of the imaging capacity of the three DMC3 satellites over their seven-year design lifetimes, while DMCii will own and operate the spacecraft.

Officials said the structure of the deal gives 21AT access to high-resolution imagery without the complexity of flying its own satellites.
