May 29 Reuters United Parcel Service, the world39;s biggest parcel delivery firm, is in talks with several Indian state governments to make some of the tags used in tracking packages in the Asian country, a senior executive told Reuters on Wednesday.

Semiconductor manufacturing is among Prime Minister Narendra Modi39;s key business agendas as he pursues an ambition of making the country a chipmaker for the world, even though the Indian government faced setbacks in its initial bid to offer 10 billion in incentives to the industry.

We are working with potential partners … What we are trying to do in India is leverage the semiconductor investments the government is making, Chief Digital and Technology Officer Bala Subramanian said in an interview.

UPS began expanding its use of radiofrequency identification RFID tags on packages about two years ago, helping its workers avoid millions of package scans per day and reducing lost and misdirected packages.
