Vadodara (Gujarat)/ New Delhi [India], September 11: A corporate-led feasibility program is building a circular-economy pipeline that converts steel slag and refractory bricks into high-purity silica for semiconductor applications. With a modular, staged capital plan and clear ESG benefits, the initiative is drawing attention from business media and institutional investors. Indo-Japan activity is highlighted as a contextual reference to illustrate industry momentum and potential collaboration models.
Investor Value Proposition (Business Perspective)
* Multiple revenue streams:
– Sale of high-purity silica feedstock to semiconductor and dielectric suppliers.
– Licensing of purification technologies and potential joint ventures with fab partners.
– Long-term offtake agreements that could stabilize cash flows and improve valuation multiples.
* EBITDA and valuation upside:
– Phase-based capex and purification milestones enable faster margin expansion and scale-driven cost advantages.
– Early TEA/LCA work provides a robust framework for scenario planning, helping to validate unit economics and support favorable hurdle rates.
* Strategic fit and macro tailwinds:
– Alignment with sustainability mandates, domestic semiconductor aspirations, and diversified supply chains reduces exposure to raw-material volatility.
– BEOL relevance (interconnects, packaging, high-purity dielectrics) offers a meaningful addressable market as qualification cycles mature.
Market and Technology Highlights (Business Lens)
– BEOL focus: Targeting device-grade silica suitable for interconnects and packaging, with potential downstream applications in high-purity dielectrics.
– Purification roadmap: A multi-stage process combining beneficiation, chemical purification, thermal treatment, and stringent analytics to approach device-grade purity targets.
– IP and governance: A clear plan for intellectual-property protection, licensing opportunities, and rigorous traceability across feedstocks and purification steps to support scale and audits.
Industry Context and Signals
– Indo-Japan activity: Engagement with Taiwanese majors underscores industry momentum and potential IP monetization opportunities. Public disclosures frame this as contextual rather than a guaranteed path to scale, emphasizing regulatory compliance, supplier qualification, and ongoing validation.
Strategic Milestones
– Phase 0-1: Feasibility studies, lab-to-pilot validation, QA/QC framework establishment, Completed.
– Phase 2: Modular pilot purification, interim TEA/LCA updates, and initial off-take discussions., Completed.
– Phase 3: Commercial-scale production readiness, long-term contracts, licensing deals, and evaluation of strategic investments or partnerships, under discussion and negotiation with Taiwanese majors.
Next Steps
– Publish interim TEA/LCA findings and milestone updates.
– Advance off-take conversations with Taiwanese majors; secure LOIs where feasible.
– Prepare investor-relations materials, including an IR deck and term-sheet summaries.
