In 2024, Padget began producing HP laptops and desktops at its Tamil Nadu facility. As of 10 May 2025, Dixon’s share price stood at Rs 15,190, down 2.79 per cent from the previous close. While the stock has declined over the past week due to market volatility and geopolitical tensions, it has risen over 81 per cent in the past year. In the first nine months of financial year twenty twenty-five, revenue grew 120 per cent to Rs 286 Bn and net profit rose 155 per cent to Rs 6.96 Bn.
