Dixon Technologies, a leading electronics manufacturing services company, is now stepping into the electronics component manufacturing space. According to a senior company official, Dixon will initially produce these components for its own internal needs before expanding into exports. This move marks an important growth phase for Dixon as it looks to strengthen its position in the global electronics market.
Sources suggest that Tata Electronics is likely to invest around Rs 2,000 crore under the newly launched Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). The government has announced a Rs 23,000 crore incentive package to support electronics component production. Although Tata Electronics has declined to comment officially, this major investment is expected to boost India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem significantly.
Dixon To Focus on Display Modules
Dixon CEO Atul Lal shared that the company has already started a project focused on display modules. Additionally, Dixon is evaluating other important electronics components like camera modules, mechanical enclosures, and lithium-ion batteries. Lal confirmed that Dixon will be a deep participant in the ECMS scheme, using the components first for its own production and later supplying them to external markets.
Initially, the components manufactured by Dixon will serve its internal operations, but the company plans to eventually supply to other businesses as well. CEO Atul Lal emphasized that Dixon is preparing to become globally competitive in select component categories. By participating in the global supply chain, Dixon aims to position itself as a major player in the electronics industry.
Government Pushes High-Quality Standards
The government has recently approved a Rs 22,919 crore scheme aimed at boosting passive or non-semiconductor electronics components. This scheme is expected to create about 91,600 direct jobs and attract investments of nearly Rs 59,350 crore. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted that companies must establish design houses and maintain six sigma quality standards to be eligible for the scheme. Industry leaders like Atul Lal and Ashok Chandak welcomed the move, although concerns were raised about challenges for smaller businesses.
Industry experts believe that setting up design houses and achieving high-quality production standards will be essential for the long-term success of electronics manufacturing in India. Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman of the India Cellular and Electronics Association, mentioned that the ECMS scheme would improve value addition within the country and enhance the financial sustainability of manufacturing businesses.
