Santa Clara, CA-based Intel Corporation will invest $178 million in India to set up a new research and development center in Bangalore said Intel India’s general manager Nivruti Rai at a news conference. This fresh investment is in addition to the $4.3 billion Intel invested in the country over the last 15 years since it set up its largest design center outside the U.S.
Spread over a 44-acre campus, the new center will have a computer software development, hardware design services and verification facility. “The nine storied building with 620,000 sq.ft. of office space will be completed in the next nine months,” said Rai. “The new facility will enable us to continue our momentum in doing cutting-edge innovation and design work from India,” he added.
The company’s Indian subsidiary has about 7,000 engineers to design and power semiconductor chips for its global customers, including original equipment manufacturers of computers, smart phones and other electronic devices, reports ET Telecom.
