TSMC market share rises to 68% in Q1, extending global foundry lead
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
Co (TSMC) has further solidified its dominance in the global pure-play wafer foundry market, growing its market share to 67.6% in the first quarter of this year, according to a report by Taipei-based research firm TrendForce Corp, reported by Focus Taiwan.
Although TSMC's revenue declined by 5% quarter-on-quarter to $25.52 billion due to seasonal slowdowns, the company's market share still edged up from 67.1% in the previous quarter. TrendForce attributed this performance to continued strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications, as well as accelerated client orders seeking to mitigate risks from ongoing U.S. tariff policies.
TSMC's closest competitor, South Korea's
Samsung
Electronics, saw its market share fall to 7.7%, down from 8.1% in the prior quarter. Samsung's foundry sales dropped by 11.3% to $2.89 billion over the same period.

Tata Power-DDL, Nissin Electric commission micro substation under Japan's NEDO project
New Delhi: Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited ( Tata Power-DDL ), which serves approximately 9 million consumers in North Delhi, has commissioned a micro substation project in collaboration with Japan-based Nissin Electric Co. Ltd., under a demonstration programme supported by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). The initiative is part of the International Demonstration Project on Japan's Energy Efficiency Technologies. A Project Agreement between Tata Power-DDL and Nissin Electric was signed on August 21, 2024. Prior to that, NEDO signed a Letter of Intent with Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC), a non-banking financial institution under the Ministry of Power, on January 10, 2024. The micro substation is aimed at supplying power to areas where transmission infrastructure exists but the grid is either underdeveloped or absent. The technology uses Pole-mounted Voltage Transformer (PVT) to directly convert high-voltage power from transmission lines to low-voltage power, without the need for a conventional large-scale substation. According to Tata Power-DDL, the micro substation project is designed to meet the requirements of regions with challenging terrains or space constraints. The equipment allows for stable and cost-effective electricity supply to load centres in rural as well as urban areas where grid extension is not viable. Tata Power-DDL stated that the technology enables efficient peak load management during the summer season and reduces the need for diesel-based mini grids in remote areas, thereby offering a lower environmental burden. The system also reduces operational costs, as it does not require generator refuelling or frequent maintenance. The micro substation was officially handed over to Tata Power-DDL and will be monitored for performance metrics such as power reliability, quality, and operational effectiveness. Discussions have begun with power distribution companies in Odisha for further deployment. Site visits and detailed action plans are being prepared as part of the next phase of implementation. The companies aim to replicate the solution in other parts of India, particularly in locations where Tata Power has operational presence outside Delhi.

90% lose in real estate, expert explains what the top 1% do instead
Property has long been seen as a safe bet in India, but Gurgaon-based real estate advisor, Aishwarya Shri Kapoor, has claimed that 90% of buyers actually lose money in Indian real wrote on LinkedIn, "Why Indian real estate fails 90% of buyers, and what the top 1% are doing instead. Let's be honest. Most people in India don't build wealth through real estate. They build EMIs. They buy wrong projects, wrong timing, wrong advice. Then blame the market." advertisementShe explained how many homebuyers visit multiple projects in a single day, ask only about price per square foot, and choose brokers based on who offers the biggest discount. "You bought a liability, not an investment," Aishwarya noted. She pointed out how bad project choices, emotional decision-making, and lack of strategy are undermining the financial prospects of many criticised what she terms "India's biggest real estate problem": the tendency for purchases driven by emotion rather than informed diligence. She wrote, "India's biggest real estate problem = Emotional buying + zero strategy. No one does price benchmarking. No one asks about rental absorption. No one checks title clarity or resale history. Everyone just says: 'How much is per square foot?'By contrast, the real estate advisor pointed out that the top 1% of investors operate methodically, purchasing during pre-launch phases, negotiating rigorously, and planning exits within 3–5 years, often achieving returns between 2.5x to elite group, Kapoor explains, follows a specific formula: 'Product + Timing + Zone + Brand + Exit Path = ROI.' The absence of any component can lead buyers into stagnation, especially in oversupplied or underdeveloped areas such as Tier 2 parts of advice to prospective buyers is to start viewing real estate not as a mere consumer product but as a strategic investment. "Think like capital. Not like a customer. Don't ask- What's available? Ask- What's underpriced with 3X resale potential?'Her final advice? Change the way you think. Instead of looking for 'ready-to-move' homes, look for what's underpriced and has the potential to triple in value."Play like the top 1%. Or keep competing with people who bought brochures, not blueprints," Kapoor Watch
