Dixon Workers Strike at Noida Plant; Demand Wage Raise

Workers at a manufacturing unit of Dixon Technologies have gone on strike on Monday, demanding a wage hike, according to sources.

The protest is underway at the Padget Electronics plant in Sector 60, Noida, as reported by EFY’s Exclusive Sources on April 13, 2026.

Broken glass and stones pelted in the premises

It has been said that shop-floor workers have reportedly halted production and gathered within the premises. Employees are seeking immediate wage revision, citing rising living costs and stagnant pay structures.

Operational impact

The strike, currently ongoing, could disrupt production at the facility, which plays a key role in electronics manufacturing, including smartphones and components. Any prolonged disruption may affect supply timelines for clients, especially amid already tight supply chains.

Dixon has already seen volatility in recent months, trading significantly below its 52-week high of around ₹18,400.

Market experts suggest that:

  • Labour unrest could weigh on investor sentiment in the short term
  • Any production halt may trigger near-term selling pressure
  • However, long-term impact will depend on how quickly the dispute is resolved

Investor sentiment & outlook

The development comes at a time when Dixon has been in focus due to joint ventures and growth expectations in India’s electronics manufacturing space. Analysts remain broadly positive on the long-term story, but execution risks like labour issues can create short-term volatility.

Company response awaited

There has been no official statement yet from Dixon Technologies or its subsidiary regarding the strike or worker demands.

Local authorities are monitoring the situation, and further updates are expected as negotiations potentially begin.

More details are awaited.
