Dixon Technologies has secured approval from the Indian government to establish a joint venture (JV) with Chinese electronics firm Longcheer, according to a regulatory filing dated 24 July.

The JV will be formed with Longcheer’s Singapore-based subsidiary. The structure agreed upon ensures Dixon holds 74 per cent of the paid-up share capital, while Longcheer retains a 26 per cent stake, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) confirmed.

The new entity will be named Dixtel Infocomm following the completion of definitive agreements.

The JV will focus on the manufacture and supply of smartphones, tablets, true wireless stereo (TWS) devices, smartwatches, AI-powered PCs, automotive electronics, and healthcare devices.

Longcheer, which counts Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Samsung among its clients, also has expertise in product design, and the JV is expected to bring advanced Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) capabilities to India.

The collaboration aims to localise manufacturing of non-semiconductor sub-components in the country, enhancing India’s electronics supply chain ecosystem.

Dixon has been actively pursuing partnerships with Chinese electronics firms. It recently signed separate agreements with Chongqing Yuhai Precision Manufacturing Co Ltd and the Indian arm of Kunshan Q Technology to manufacture and sell electronic components used in mobile phones, laptops, and other devices.

A joint venture with Chinese smart devices major Vivo is also reportedly in development.
