TSMC's plans to raise its foundry service quotes have caused a stir among its customers. Wafer foundry and packing/testing production capacity prices have been going up. The price increases have accumulated in the chip end market forcing the selling price of computers, communications, and consumer electronics (3C) to also increase. However, there has been less consumer demand for purchasing, replacing, and upgrading 3C products, resulting in resistance to chip price increases from TSMC customers.

Before studying India's electric vehicle (EV) market, you may need to understand the Indian modes of transportation.

Geopolitical tension and the net-zero carbon emission policy deadlines of governments worldwide are driving up demands for rare earth metals. However, trying to secure local supplies only by investing huge capital to build domestic production in the US or the EU alone is mission impossible.

Who is the leader in the Indian car market? Suzuki accounts for almost 50% market share of the world's fifth-largest market of 2.71 million cars per year. Suzuki is not a top-tier brand in Japan. The key factor of Suzuki's success in India is that Suzuki Motor embraces a one-stop-shopping service strategy for the Indian market from car manufacturing to maintenance, insurance, and driving training courses. On top of that, its integration in the upstream and downstream of supply chains along with half a century of long-term in-depth operation in the Indian market is unrivaled. Perhaps owing to its satisfactory operation, Suzuki Motor is not active in the electric vehicles (EV) market.
