Keen to set up a Rs 6,000-crore facility, a global electronics major has sought 200 acres at JNPT Special Economic Zone (SEZ). JNPT is one of the top 12 major ports under the control of the Centre.
"A global electronic major has sought 200 acres of land at JNPT SEZ. It is keen to invest Rs 6,000 crore and create employment to the tune of 40,000," said Union shipping minister Nitin Gadkari. However, he did not disclose the name of the firm or the country.Sources said it is an electronic major from Taiwan.
Earlier, the minister said Taiwan-based IT major Foxconn had sought 13 acres at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust's SEZ. When asked if it was the same firm, the minister replied in the negative.
Contract manufacturer Fo-xconn makes products for global device brands like Apple, BlackBerry, Amazon, Motorola, Xiaomi and Sony and has the bulk of its factories in China.
"Foxconn has sought a land parcel of 13 acres in the SEZ at JNPT and I have spoken to the Maharashtra CM about the project," Gadkari had said earlier.
Country head and MD, Foxconn International Holding India, Josh Foulger had earlier this year met the then commerce minister Nirmala Sitharaman to discuss support for exporting phones from the country.
