US Semiconductor Companies Plan Projects in Bengal, India
Two US-based companies are planning to build factories in Bengal, India, that will make important parts for electronics like phones and computers.
One company, Santech Global, is getting help from the government to set up its factory.
Another company, GlobalFoundries (GF), is already working there and wants more space.
These factories are expected to create jobs and help develop new technology.
They are also working on a project with the US government to build a power center.
These projects will focus on advanced technologies for things like national security, communication, and green energy.
