As exports rise, India’s electronics ecosystem is shifting beyond assembly lines.
Dixon Technologies will begin trial production at its new display manufacturing facility in Greater Noida by June, strengthening India’s push toward domestic electronics component manufacturing.
Built with an investment of ₹1.1 billion, the facility targets an annual production capacity of 84 million display units, including 60 million mobile phone displays and 24 million IT hardware displays.
The plant will operate through Dixon Display Technologies, which recently received approval under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). The project is being executed through a joint venture with HKC Overseas, where Dixon holds a 74% stake and HKC owns 26%.
Designed as a backward-integrated unit, the facility will incorporate advanced processes such as chip-on-glass (COG), film-on-glass (FOG), polarisation, bonding and glass cutting — capabilities currently limited within India’s display manufacturing ecosystem.
The expansion is expected to significantly increase local value addition in mobile phone manufacturing from around 18% to nearly 40%, supported by domestic production of key components like displays and camera modules.
Alongside displays, Dixon is scaling camera module manufacturing, currently producing about 8 million units per month with plans to reach 100 million units annually.
The new facility reflects Dixon’s strategy to move beyond assembly-led manufacturing toward deep component production, aligning with India’s broader effort to build a stronger electronics supply chain as exports from the sector approach $50 billion.
