MIC Electronics Ltd, a publicly listed Indian electronics and smart infrastructure company, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapore-based TOP2 PTE Ltd, marking a significant step in its international expansion and diversification into high-growth technology sectors.
The MoU, which was signed earlier this week, outlines a framework for collaboration between the two companies in areas including semiconductor innovation, AI-powered energy logistics, and sustainable electronics manufacturing. While the agreement is currently non-binding, it grants MIC Electronics exclusive negotiation rights for a 90-day period, during which both parties will conduct due diligence and finalize terms for a potential acquisition or joint venture.
A Strategic Leap into Deep-Tech and Global Markets
TOP2 PTE Ltd, headquartered in Singapore with operations across the UAE, India, and the U.S., is a deep-tech platform company specializing in semiconductor IP development, circular electronics, and AI-driven clean energy solutions. The company’s portfolio includes proprietary technologies aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, digital infrastructure, and sustainable recommerce.
By aligning with TOP2, MIC Electronics aims to tap into next-generation innovations and global IP-led platforms that complement its existing strengths in LED displays, digital signage, and railway signaling systems. The collaboration is expected to open new doors for MIC in high-value verticals such as smart cities, defense electronics, and industrial automation.
Rakshit Mathur, CEO of MIC Electronics, commented:
“This MoU is not just a strategic move—it’s a commitment to India’s future. By aligning with TOP2’s deep-tech capabilities, MIC aims to lead the next phase of smart and sustainable technology manufacturing in India.”
Strengthening India’s Tech Ecosystem
The partnership comes at a time when India is aggressively pushing for self-reliance in electronics and semiconductors under flagship initiatives like Make in India and Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. MIC’s move is aligned with the national agenda to build indigenous capabilities in high-tech domains and foster a future-ready manufacturing ecosystem.
MIC Electronics operates a 100,000 sq. ft. certified manufacturing facility and has a strong track record of delivering public-sector infrastructure projects. The company believes that combining its execution strength with TOP2’s innovation engine will create a unique Indo-global platform for scalable, ESG-compliant technologies.
Industry analysts estimate that the combined opportunity in semiconductor IP, AI logistics, and circular electronics could exceed $50 billion globally by FY28. MIC’s entry into these sectors could significantly enhance its revenue potential and global competitiveness.
Market Reaction and Investor Sentiment
Following the announcement, MIC Electronics’ stock saw renewed investor interest, with shares trading near ₹52.05 on the BSE—up from a recent low of ₹49.50. Market watchers view the MoU as a potential inflection point for the company, which has been actively seeking strategic partnerships to diversify its portfolio and scale operations.
The deal also reflects MIC’s ambition to transition from a small-cap player to a mid-cap contender, with a focus on high-margin, innovation-led businesses. If the partnership materializes into a full acquisition or joint venture, MIC could gain access to TOP2’s global customer base, advanced R&D capabilities, and intellectual property assets.
What’s Next?
Over the next 90 days, MIC and TOP2 will engage in detailed negotiations, valuation assessments, and legal due diligence. The final structure of the partnership—whether through equity acquisition, joint venture, or strategic alliance—will be determined based on mutual alignment and regulatory approvals.
MIC has assured stakeholders that the MoU does not involve any related party transactions and will be executed in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 and the Overseas Investment Regulations issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
As the tech landscape evolves, MIC’s move to partner with a global deep-tech firm signals its readiness to play a catalytic role in India’s transformation into a high-tech manufacturing hub.
