India – A major beneficiary?
He also said with the ongoing US-China trade conflict, Taiwanese companies are looking to expand beyond the Chinese market and India can be a major beneficiary, reported PTI.
Tien further mentioned that with the recent trade war between US and China, there are people with second thoughts to put their business and investment to some other country. According to him, India definitely comes to the picture and he feels that is very important and very timely.
Going forward
There are 100 of Taiwanese companies that are operating in India. The new information and communication technology and electronics cluster in Bengaluru will house 120 companies. The cluster will be operational in 2020-21, Tien added.
