India among the top 10 best-performing stock markets in the world in 2023
印度股市打入2023年全球前10表現最佳股市
Indian stock markets got off to a rough start in early 2023, with a significant loss that resulted in a 52-week low. Subsequently, the benchmark indices experienced a remarkable comeback, bringing India into the list of top 10 globally performing markets.
The significant entry of both local and foreign capital is responsible for the Indian market’s boom. After substantial withdrawals in 2022, foreign portfolio investors increased their holdings of Indian shares by over $22 billion in 2023. In the same period, domestic institutional investors made additions totaling about $20 billion.
Indian stocks became the world’s second-best performing in 2022 despite large withdrawals of Foreign Portfolio Investments (FPIs). The achievement can be attributed to advantageous macroeconomic circumstances within the country and a record-breaking flow of $23 billion from institutional investors within the country.

Israeli chipmaker Tower resubmits semicon proposal
以色列高塔半導體重啟印度設廠計畫
According to reports, Tower Semiconductors has resubmitted its bid to build a 65 nm and 40 nm semiconductor fabrication facility in India. According to a report by The Economic Times (ET), Next Orbit Ventures, Tower Semiconductors’ former joint venture partner, has taken legal action in response to the move. It is considering suing the company for presenting a new proposal with a different partner.
According to reports, Tower Semiconductors’ most recent proposal would involve a joint venture with the BC Jindal group, a significant producer of goods for packaging and labelling. While acknowledging that it is working on a semiconductor project, the BC Jindal group has not disclosed any further information. This is Tower Semiconductors’ second effort to open a facility in India for the production of semiconductor chips.
小編點評：這反映了全球業者對印度半導體生態系統的持續興趣。印度一直在積極通過各種政策來促進半導體製造。高塔半導體這次重新申請可能與印度吸引外國投資、技術合作以及促進國內強大的半導體產業的目標對接。這一發展可被視為印度成為半導體製造和技術研發地的吸引力的正向指標。
