Dixon Technologies, a major electronics manufacturing services provider, is looking to regain momentum after its shares experienced a significant drop of 30-35% from their 52-week high. This decline has been attributed to factors such as profit booking, lower guidance, increased competition from Chinese manufacturers, and a reduction in promoter holding. Additionally, rising global RAM and component costs have impacted the volumes of budget devices.

However, several recent developments are expected to act as catalysts for the company’s growth. On July 8, 2026, the Indian government approved a joint venture between Dixon Technologies and Vivo Mobile India Limited for manufacturing electronic devices and smartphones. This partnership, in which Dixon will hold a 51% stake, aims to establish Dixon as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for smartphones, initially for Vivo and potentially for other brands in the future. The approval was granted under Press Note 3 of 2020, a regulation requiring government clearance for investments from countries sharing a land border with India. This long-awaited approval is seen as a crucial step for Dixon’s smartphone manufacturing growth.

Furthermore, the Indian government has introduced new policy support for electronics manufacturing, including expanded customs duty exemptions. On July 9, 2026, the government waived basic customs duty on goods used in the manufacture of display assemblies, lithium-ion cells, and inductor coil modules, with these exemptions valid until March 31, 2029. This move is intended to boost domestic production, reduce import dependence, and enhance the cost-competitiveness of electronics manufacturing in India. These policy changes are part of broader government initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which offers incentives on incremental sales of goods manufactured in India to attract large investments in mobile phone manufacturing and specified electronic components. The government also recently approved “Semicon 2.0” with a budget of Rs. 1
