TOKYO (Reuters) - Hitachi Chemical Co has told customers it falsified inspections for material used to encapsulate semiconductors, an industry source familiar with the matter said - the firm’s second compliance failing this year and the latest in a run of such scandals at Japanese firms. Hitachi Chemical said in a statement on Saturday that a committee of external experts was investigating the issue and that it would announce the results as soon as they were available. India’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has formed a joint venture ‘SBI Payment Services Private Limited’ in partnership with Hitachi Payments Services, a subsidiary of Japan’s Hitachi, for the establishment of card acceptance and future-ready digital payments platform in India, according to a joint statement on Monday.
