Committed to set up manufacturing facility in Telangana: Foxconn

Taiwanese electronics major Foxconn on Monday said it is committed for setting up a manufacturing facility in Kongara Kalan near Hyderabad.

In a letter addressed to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Foxconn Technology Group chairman Young Liu confirmed the commitment of Foxconn in setting up the manufacturing facility in Kongar Kalan and sought the support of state team in operationalising the Kongar Kalan Park as early as possible, a release from the CMO said.

This amply clears the doubts as raised in a certain section of the press that Foxconn was in a dilemma 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.

Liu also invited Rao to Taiwan as his personal guest. “It would be my honour to host you in Taipei. Look forward to meet you soon,” Liu said in the letter. Rao and Liu met in Pragathi Bhavan, on March 2, and it was agreed that Foxconn would set up electronics manufacturing facility in Telangana with employment generation potential for over one lakh people, the CMO release added.
