Asian stocks kept to a tight range on Wednesday amid persistent caution over higher-for-longer US interest rates, with Japanese indexes pulling back from record highs as a tech-driven rally cooled.

Japan's equity benchmark was unchanged at the open with stocks supported by the banking sector amid expectations the Bank of Japan may tweak policy in coming months.

US stock indices fell on Tuesday as investors awaited a crucial inflation and other economic data due this week.

L&T Ventures into Semiconductor Chip Design

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is building a team for its semiconductor chip design business, as it looks to foray into fabless semiconductor chip design and product ownership.

L&T set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, L&T Semiconductor Technologies (LTST), in November 2023.

L&T Defence Business said LTST is building a 400-500-strong global team, purely focused on chip design and scouting for talent from the US, Europe, Japan, ASEAN and India.

While the chip manufacturing will be outsourced, the design will be done in-house.

The chip design would look at the automotive and industrial chip segments.

The challenge for chip designers working on chips specifically designed for India, especially the defence sector, is to design chips for equipment that can operate in the 55-degree to minus 40-degree range.

This combination isn't available anywhere in the world. The business is being incubated and will start showing up in the market in another three years.

The defence expo showcased defence equipment from L&T, DRDO, Tata Advanced Systems, Solar Industries, Bharat Forge and Nibe and included small arms weapon systems to diverse military vehicles and advanced air-defence and missile systems.

It stands among the five large-caps that have delivered the highest returns to investors in 2023.
