Odisha is unobtrusively trying to contribute to the development of semiconductor manufacturing in India. The US-based Silicon Power Group is all set to open a 150mm silicon carbide manufacturing facility in Odisha with an investment of Rs 1,000 crore, the Odisha CM’s office has announced.

Company CEO Harshad Mehta has submitted a letter of intent to an Odisha Government delegation, which is on a US visit.

The investment will be made by the group’s Indian subsidiary — RIR Power. This will be a first-of-its-kind manufacturing facility in Odisha with the company having committed to start operations in the next 18 to 24 months.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
