It’s not an investment, rather we’ll be supplying equipment [for high-end medical diagnostics, clinical research and development, power generation, lighting, water treatment] and operating it. Q: What’s in it from you, apart from the $250 million in equipment that’s your investment? A: It’s GE’s first such collaborative venture worldwide. India gives us a lot of throughput in equipment that will help us do engineering design here. We see this as an opportunity to get into some cutting-edge facilitie
