Iris receives LOI to participate in India e-passport project TheStar Mon, Sep 07, 2020 05:40pm - 24 minutes ago
KUALA LUMPUR: Iris Corp Bhd said it has received a letter of intent (LOI) from India Security Press for the procurement of 15 million International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) compliant contactless inlays and its operating system.
The inlays and operating system are required for the Indian e-passport project.
Iris told Bursa Malaysia today that the LOI, dated Sept 6, is for a project worth US$27.54mil (RM114mil).
Under the LOI, Iris will supply supply pre-production sample of 1000 inlays within three months after issuance of the LOI.
"The company is requested to furnish Performance Security/Security Deposit equivalent to 10% of contract value within 21 days from the date of issuance of the LOI," Iris said.
Congratulations to those not selling today. These few days sizable units at least 5million units buy at one go at many occasions. Tomorrow is your day.
The following statement from the announcement are important declaration ie Quote.. "The Project will contribute positively to the earnings of IRIS during its tenure" unquote.
However important thing missing is the tenure of the contract (mayb i missed it i stand corrected)
Most important is other countries have faith and wanted to use Iris system for their immigration. That itself is a great testimony on the company capabilities.

This LOI looks like India sent to several Chip suppliers stating the Qty, Price and Spec India is "willing to Pay"....We have to wait for IRIS management Reply (will announce by Bursa) for acceptance Or rejection of "Offer to Supply" the abovemention Chips---usually counteroffer in Price Or Specs will be sent to India
"The Board, having taken into consideration all aspects of the Project, is of the opinion that the Project is in the best interest of IRIS and its shareholders."
If Iris bid lower than Chinese suppliers than of course " best interest of Iris and its Shareholders" is major concern. Looks like India has Dumped Chinese Suppliers due recent Tibet Conflicts

At least v’ve to hold until the result of the contract is out. Otherwise, v will regret if Iris got the contract. It’s a gamble after all!
