Silectric Semiconductor would set up its manufacturing unit at an investment of Rs 3,426 crore project at Kochanahalli, adding about 460 jobs.
This is one of the nine projects approved on Monday by the state high-level clearance committee (SHLCC), chaired by Siddaramaiah. These projects together account for a combined investment of Rs 9,823 crore with a potential to add 5,605 jobs. Three of them are new proposals while the rest are expansions or changes to existing plans.
The CM urged the investors proposing to invest in the KIADB plots to commission their units within the committed schedules. The government would impose a penalty if they fail to meet the commissioning timelines, he added.
