Dixon Technologies has received approval from the Indian government to form a joint venture (JV) with Chinese electronics firm Longcheer, further strengthening its foothold in the smartphone and smart device manufacturing space.
According to a regulatory filing dated July 24, the JV will be established with Longcheer’s Singapore-based subsidiary. Dixon will hold 74 percent stake, while 26 percent will be owned by Longcheer.
Once definitive agreements are signed, the JV will operate under the name Dixtel Infocomm, engaging in the manufacturing and supply of smartphones, tablets, true wireless stereo devices, smartwatches, AI PCs, automotive electronics, and healthcare devices.
Dixon said the collaboration would enhance Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) capabilities in India and localise non-semiconductor sub-component manufacturing, a key step in strengthening domestic electronics production.
Longcheer, which works with brands like Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Samsung, is known for both manufacturing and product design.
Dixon has been actively pursuing collaborations with Chinese firms. It recently signed agreements with Chongqing Yuhai Precision Manufacturing Co Ltd and Kunshan Q Technology’s Indian arm for manufacturing electronic components. A separate JV with Chinese smartphone maker Vivo is also in the pipeline.
