This remarkable rise underscores MosChip’s strategic agility and strengthening position within the semiconductor and software systems sectors.

MosChip’s semiconductor division stood out as a significant contributor to this upward trend, generating Rs 9,854.74 lakhs in revenue this quarter, an impressive jump from Rs 5,638.66 lakhs in the prior year. The software and system design segment also posted robust growth, recording revenue of Rs 2,707.81 lakhs—up 75 per cent from Rs 1,546.80 lakhs last year. This surge reflects the company’s successful expansion into high-demand sectors and its focus on delivering value in software-driven solutions.

The net profit before tax reached Rs 973.17 lakhs, reflecting a substantial year-over-year increase of 146 per cent from Rs 396.09 lakhs. This growth in profitability, despite rising costs, demonstrates MosChip’s efficient cost management and ability to capitalise on market demand. Profit after tax also exhibited a noteworthy gain, standing at Rs 973.15 lakhs, compared to Rs 362.57 lakhs in the same quarter of 2023—a leap of 168 per cent.

The company’s operational expenses rose in line with its expansion, with employee benefits reaching Rs 6,378.23 lakhs this quarter, up from Rs 5,211.30 lakhs in Q2 2023.

Other critical costs, such as finance expenses, rose slightly to Rs 192.65 lakhs compared to Rs 152.64 lakhs last year, which remains manageable within the context of its higher revenue base.

Segmented growth highlights the efficacy of MosChip’s diversified approach.
