MIC Electronics Shares Surge On Semiconductor Expansion Plans

The stock has gained over 42% over the past week due to the impact of the GST rate cut

Shares of MIC Electronics rose as much as 4.37% to ₹73.96 on Wednesday, after the company signed an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Singapore-based Top2 to explore, identify, and finalize a semiconductor partner from Taiwan.

According to a company press release dated September 10, the MoU will help establish a framework under which MIC and Top2 will jointly work to “explore, identify, and finalize” a semiconductor fabrication partner from Taiwan.

The objective is to initiate semiconductor wafer production with a monthly target capacity of 25,000 to 30,000 wafers.

GST Boost 

MIC Electronics shares have surged around 42% over the past week, driven by the GST Council’s decision to slash rates on key electronics. GST on air conditioners and televisions has been revised from 28% to 18%. This rate reduction is expected to drive demand across categories and lead to improved revenues and profitability for companies from the electronics space.
