Taiwanese electronics major Foxconn on Monday, 6 March, said it is committed to setting up a manufacturing facility in Kongara Kalan near Hyderabad.
Foxconn Technology Group Chairman Young Liu in a letter addressed to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, confirmed the commitment of Foxconn in setting up the manufacturing facility in Kongar Kalan and sought the support of the state team in operationalising the Kongar Kalan Park, near Hyderabad, as early as possible, a release from the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said.
This amply clears the doubts as raised in a certain section of the press that, Foxconn company was in a dilemma as to whether to set up the manufacturing facility in Telangana or not, the release said.
Liu and his team met Rao, Telangana Ministers and senior officials in Hyderabad last week.
