Its products will serve defence, EVs, railways, solar inverters, and more.

Additionally, US-based 3D Glass Solutions Inc. will set up an advanced packaging and embedded glass substrate unit, producing 69,600 glass panel substrates, 50 million assembled units, and 13,200 3DHI modules yearly. These will cater to AI, high-performance computing, RF, and automotive sectors.
