By Kosaku Narioka
CG Power & Industrial Solutions shares rose sharply on its plan to jointly build and operate a chip plant in India with Japanese and Thai partners.
Shares were recently 5.0% higher at 465.95 Indian rupees on Friday after rising as much as 11% earlier.
CG Power said Thursday after market close that the Indian government had approved the joint-venture project to build and operate a semiconductor assembly and testing facility in Gujarat that will cater to customers in auto, industrial, and 5G industries.
"CG's entry into the semiconductor manufacturing marks a strategic diversification for us," said CG Power Chairman Vellayan Subbiah. "We are very keen to build out India's semiconductor capability and ecosystem."
The Mumbai-based electrical engineering company will own a 92.3% stake in the joint venture, while Japan's Renesas Electronics will hold a 6.8% stake and Thailand's Stars Microelectronics will have a 0.9% interest. The joint venture plans to invest INR76.00 billion ($916.7 million) over five years, CG Power said.
