Dixon & Longcheer Seal JV to Manufacture Electronics in India

Dixon Technologies (India) Limited has finalized its joint venture agreement with original design manufacturer Longcheer Intelligence following government approval granted under India’s electronics investment regime last year.

The joint-venture entity, named Dixtel Infocomm, will see Dixon invest ₹7.39 crore for a 74% stake, while Longcheer will hold ₹2.6 crore for a 26% stake in the company. The agreement, first announced in February 2026, is intended to secure production volumes for Dixon and accelerate growth in electronics manufacturing.

Originally incorporated in 2023 as a wholly-owned Dixon subsidiary with ₹10 crore paid-up capital, the company has now transitioned into a joint venture with full regulatory clearances.

The newly structured Dixtel Infocomm will focus on manufacturing and supplying a broad range of electronics products, including smartphones, tablets, AI-powered PCs, and smartwatches. Expansion could span further into true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones, automotive electronics, and healthcare devices, leveraging Longcheer’s original design expertise.

Longcheer Intelligence is known for designing entry-level smartphones for top global brands such as Vivo, Oppo, and Samsung, giving the JV access to proven design pipelines and ODM capabilities. The collaboration aligns with India’s broader push to strengthen local manufacturing under initiatives like Make in India and the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), encouraging foreign participation while localizing production and design know-how.

Experts see the move as part of a growing trend where Indian contract manufacturers are upgrading from simple assembly to original design and branded product manufacturing, enabling deeper value chain participation and reducing reliance on imports.
