A high-powered Foxconn team, led by chairman Young Liu, has just concluded a controversy-hit week-long India visit.

To close the issue, Liu on Monday wrote to the chief ministers of the two states, stressing Foxconn’s commitment to set up electronic manufacturing plants.
The world’s largest contract manufacturer has a $1 trillion investible surplus and it needs semiconductor chips worth $40 billion for its own consumption.
