Consumer durable major Dixon Technologies has said that it would begin operationalizing its 3rd dedicated plant for assembling mobile phones (11th manufacturing facility overall) by January 2021. The facility would come up at Noida with an investment of Rs 75 crores. The new plant would be opened in a 220,000 square feet area. The new facility will specialize in SMT, assembly, testing and manufacturing batteries.Â
Dixon already has in-house capabilities for panel assembly and PCB assembly. The plant would enhance the company's capacity from 30 million units to 80 million units in the first year itself. The plant would be creating 4000 direct jobs, including 900 in the first year, said Dixon Technologies chairman Sunil Vachani. The company is among the 9 companies cleared by the Central government for availing incentives under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme aimed at strengthening handset manufacturing ecosystem in India.
