Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (ISIN TW0006770001) is tied to Tata Electronics' 50,000-wafer monthly fab plan in India, a project discussed on October 13, 2026. CNBC TV18 reported that Tata Electronics is developing the Dholera semiconductor fab with PSMC as its technology partner.

What does the fab add?

The Dholera project is designed for 50,000 wafer starts per month and is intended to cover high-performance computing, electric vehicles, telecom, automotive and consumer electronics. The government project description puts the planned investment at INR 910.0 billion and identifies PSMC as the logic and memory foundry partner, according to the Press Information Bureau.

The commercial significance depends on execution rather than the headline investment. The plant is planned to support 28-nanometer high-performance computing chips, while PSMC brings six semiconductor foundries in Taiwan to the partnership, according to the same government project description.

Three dates shape the story

On September 29, 2026, Business Standard described the Dholera facility as a planned INR 910.0 billion project scheduled to go live in 2028. On October 8, 2026, PSMC reported unaudited September sales of TWD 7.665 billion in its official monthly report. On October 13, 2026, Tata Electronics and PSMC were again linked through the Dholera fab partnership and its 50,000-wafer monthly capacity.

Sales and valuation in numbers

PSMC's second-quarter 2026 revenue was TWD 17.290 billion and net income was TWD 3.291 billion. Revenue increased from TWD 13.572 billion in the first quarter, while net income declined from TWD 14.231 billion, according to the standardized quarterly financial statement.

PSMC stock closed at TWD 67.30 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 16, 2026. The same market snapshot shows a 52-week range of TWD 27.35 to TWD 94.50, a market capitalization of TWD 317.1 billion and 76,521,568 shares traded.

Reporting date and market view

The earnings calendar listed October 15, 2026 as the next reporting date in a market schedule published by TradingView. The consensus page lists five analysts, an average 12-month target of TWD 99.72 and a target range of TWD 77.60 to TWD 111.00, according to Investing.com.

PSMC stock stays tied to execution

The fab partnership adds a long-dated growth narrative, while the quarterly figures show a sharp sequential swing in profitability. For investors, the key tension is the gap between the 2028 project timetable and the more immediate monthly sales path.

The latest reported market price was TWD 67.30 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 16, 2026, with the 52-week high at TWD 94.50.
