Semiconductor Shortages

Reliance Industries has begun exploring a foray into semiconductor manufacturing, a move that could address its supply chain needs and cater to growing chip demand in India, two people familiar with its strategy said. The telecoms-to-energy conglomerate has held early-stage talks with foreign chipmakers that have the potential to become technology ...

Intel on Thursday posted a massive fall in sales for the first quarter of 2023 because of a steep drop in the demand for semiconductors -- or chips -- that power personal computers and smartphones.

Electronics and IT secretary Alkesh Kumar Sharma on Tuesday said that the production of semiconductors in the country will start very soon. He was responding to a query around plan of action of the Ministry of Electronics and IT after state-owned company Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) raised the issue of shortage of electronic chip and p...

A new age of great-power rivalry is redrawing the map of the world economy and forcing business chiefs to navigate around a growing number of global flashpoints.

Micron on Wednesday began mass production of its new high-capacity low-power 1-beta dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips at its new plant in Japan. Located at Hiroshima, the facility will product Micron's latest memory chip that can store a third more data than older chips, as the company tries to revive and modernise its once-mighty chip indu...

Rapidus, a new project to develop and make next-generation microchips, has gained the backing of the Japanese government. Japan will pour half a billion dollars into the Rapidus project, which reportedly comprises eight major companies including Sony, SoftBank, Toyota and telecoms giant NTT. The next-generation chip development project aims to deve...

Micron announced on Tuesday it will invest up to $100 billion (nearly Rs. 8,14,500) to build semiconductors in New York state, capitalising on the US policies to boost domestic manufacturing of key goods. The chip giant, which is based in the western state of Idaho, said it plans to begin construction in 2024 on a project expected to be executed ov...

Toyota said on Thursday that it will produce 100,000 fewer vehicles in October, due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage. The company has not adjusted its global production target for its vehicles for the ongoing financial year, sticking to its forecast for a record 9.7 million units. Toyota will now produce 800,000 vehicles in October, and an ave...

ह्यून्दे मोटर इंडिया चिप की कमी का खामियाजा भुगत रही है, हालांकि पिछले साल की तुलना में स्थिति में सुधार हुआ है, लेकिन यह अभी भी इस संकट से निपट रही है जिससे कार डिलेवरी के लिए इसके बैकलॉग में वृद्धि हुई है.

If data is the new oil, stocks of this critical resource are a must have.

Automakers Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra and Kia reported robust growth in their vehicle dispatches in the domestic market for August buoyed by festive demand and easing of semiconductor shortage woes.

The hike in interest rates has not yet impacted demand for vehicles but the real picture will emerge once the semiconductor shortage issue is addressed and production gets normalised, according to a senior official of Maruti Suzuki India.

US President Joe Biden will sign the $280 billion (roughly Rs. 22,27,410 crore) CHIPS Act on Tuesday, the White House has announced. The new bill is designed to incentivise investments in the US chip industry to ease US reliance on overseas supply chains for critical, cutting-edge goods. Micron is announcing a plan to boost domestic manufacturing o...

Hyundai on Monday said that it expects the ongoing chip shortage to improve by 2023, as it currently faces production constraints. Amid competition from Tata Motors and Mahindra, Hyundai said it is sitting on a backlog of 1.3 lakh pending orders. A senior company official noted that semiconductor supplies have improved, helping its production to go...

Toyota’s profit in the April-June quarter fell nearly 18 percent YoY as the semiconductor shortage slammed the auto industry. Electric vehicles, which need many chips, have been the worst hit by the global chips crunch. Boosting the EV sale, Toyota makes the Prius hybrid, Lexus luxury models and Camry sedan.
