Taiwanese laptop maker ASUS to scale up local manufacturing with Dixon, targets growth beyond metros: MONEYCONTROL

Taiwanese laptop maker ASUS expects locally manufactured laptops to make up 30% of its sales in the country this year, compared with about 10% last year, reflecting the company’s commitment to treating India as a “home market.” It is also working with its EMS partner, Dixon Technologies, to increase local sourcing of electronic components used in laptop manufacturing, senior executives told Moneycontrol.

Very good piece on the global semiconductor industry. (It's one of the better analysis that I've read on the subject. And it's in an Indian newspaper!)

In the US, gas stations are legally required to label E15 or higher blends on dispensers. In India, E20 pumps have no mandatory label. American consumers know what they're pumping. Indian consumers are kept in the dark.

What will the British do? Nepali watchman has completely lost it🤣 Crush every momos seller here to send him a message. Lipulekh belongs to India.

▶️What is the RBI’s Kill Switch Facility? - The ‘Kill Switch’ is an emergency security protocol that allows users to instantly freeze all financial operations and fund transfers from their bank accounts or digital wallets. - It is accompanied by a ‘Switch On/Switch Off’ feature that extends card-style security toggles to cover all electronic payment architectures, including UPI and internet banking. -Aim: The initiative is designed to combat real-time cyber financial crimes, giving consumers absolute and instantaneous control over their funds the moment they suspect fraudulent activity. This is intended to bolster overall user confidence in India’s massive digital payment ecosystem. ▶️How It Works? - If a user realizes they are caught in a scam—such as being coerced during a fake "digital arrest" video call—they can activate the kill switch directly through their mobile banking app, a designated SMS code, or a toll-free portal. - Once triggered, the bank’s system instantly cuts off all outward transactional capabilities for that user’s identity. - This immediate action bypasses the typical administrative delays involved in calling customer service or visiting a bank branch, locking down the capital before fraudsters can siphon it off into mule accounts. ▶️Key Features - Integrated Emergency Button: The system envisions a prominent, single-tap emergency button built seamlessly into the native mobile banking applications of all lenders. - Omnichannel Access: Because scams often compromise a user's access to their smartphone, the facility will support activation through alternative channels like SMS alerts, Interactive Voice Responses (IVR), or internet banking portals. - Granular Channel Toggling: The ‘Switch On/Switch Off’ aspect allows users to selectively disable specific transaction modules. For example, a user could turn off international transactions or UPI entirely while keeping standard ATM withdrawals active, reactivating them only when needed. - Universal Architecture: Unlike existing tools that are restricted primarily to debit and credit cards, this framework will cover the entire electronic spectrum, including the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), and National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT). ▶️Significance - Preventing Digital Arrest Frauds: It provides victims with an immediate method to block fraudulent transactions, helping to drastically reduce financial losses from real-time cyber scams. - Proactive Fraud Protection: It empowers users to act instantly during an active scam, rather than relying solely on post-fraud complaints, police reports, and investigations. - Safer Digital Finance Ecosystem: By giving users direct control over their financial security, the facility strengthens trust in digital payments and protects less tech-savvy users as online transactions continue to grow.

This is RBI’s upcoming data centre in Bhubaneswar, strategically located away from major earthquake zones as well as cyber and cross-border threats. Adani is also set to build another data centre here with an investment of ₹800 crore. 📍Info Valley, Bhubaneswar

Budget 2024 tax changes on investors: STCG: 15% → 20% (up 33%) LTCG: 10% → 12.5% (up 25%) STT on F&O: raised Equity derivatives: taxed heavier The government's explanation: "rationalization." Social media's reaction: "cruel and madness." The additional tax collected: ₹15,000 crore. The investor wealth destroyed in sentiment: incalculable. They took ₹15,000 crore. They cost us far more.

India's market policy in 2024–26: ✅ Raised STCG from 15% → 20% ✅ Raised LTCG from 10% → 12.5% ✅ Raised STT on F&O ✅ Taxed crypto at 30% (no loss offsets) ✅ Let Angel Tax run for 12 years ✅ Let rupee depreciate 14% in 2 years Result: → FIIs pulled ₹2.2L crore in 5 months → Nifty heading for first annual loss since 2015 → Retail investor wealth destroyed Good intentions. Terrible execution. Or terrible intentions. You decide.

Semiconductor sector is about to boom 💥 India is aggressively building a complete semiconductor ecosystem. ✅ NITI Aayog targets a $120–150B semiconductor value chain by 2035. ✅ Focus on raw materials, compound semiconductors (SiC/GaN), packaging & manufacturing recently india joined pax sillica US led semiconductor and critical mineral extraction group. ✅ Odisha signs $3.3B semiconductor substrate deal with Intel & 3DGS. ✅ Aim: Reduce import dependence, save forex reserves & strengthen India's tech self-reliance 🇮🇳 Big opportunity for domestic semiconductor sector loading 👀 Time to focus on the semiconductor sector 🔥 #Semiconductor #Chip @DoctorMoneyX
