HDK questions US firm getting Rs 3.2 cr subsidy per job it creates in Guj

Union steel and heavy industries minister H D Kumaraswamy of JD(S) wondered aloud Friday if India needed investments like US-headquartered semiconductor manufacturer Micron Technology setting up a $2.5 billion unit in Gujarat and potentially receiving Rs 3.2 crore in subsidies for every job it creates. After identifying the company in a televised live address to party workers in Karnataka, he hastened to clarify that he was “not authorised” to do so.
