We hosted Mr. Atul Lal, MD and Vice Chairman of Dixon Technologies, as part of our CEO Track session at AGIC 2026. Here are the key takeaways of the session:

Structural growth seen in electronics market

India’s electronics manufacturing industry has expanded from around USD30b to nearly USD140b over the past 6-7 years, with EMS accounting for around USD40b. Dixon expects the Indian electronics manufacturing market to reach USD400-450b by FY29-30, with the EMS opportunity estimated at around USD150b. Dixon intends to maintain a 13-14% share of the EMS market, implying a significant expansion in its revenue opportunity over the coming years. Government initiatives, including PLI, ECMS and other manufacturing programs, remain important enablers, with local manufacturing now accounting for more than 90% of electronics sold in India vs. ~10% around a decade ago.

New incentive policy to drive exports

The new incentive policy is geared toward incremental production for global markets, with exports expected to drive volumes as domestic demand remains weak amid higher memory costs. The scheme will offer up to 5% incentive on incremental production, 1.5% for localization across five components (0.3% each for camera, display, mechanicals, lithium-ion batteries and other specified components), and a further 3% for brand investments. Dixon plans to leverage the framework to scale up mobile exports while localizing displays, cameras and other components to deepen value addition. Export ramp-up is expected to be a long-term structural growth driver, enabling companies to establish their presence in global markets.

Dixon’s strategic roadmap

Dixon’s roadmap for future growth is aligned with government’s policy framework:

* Large scale: Build market leadership in core verticals (mobiles & consumer appliances) through client acquisition and product line expansion.

* Deepening of value addition: Increasing the value addition by integrating key semi and non-semi components (display, camera modules, mechanicals, ICs, etc.).

* Building in-house design: Capturing maximum value-chain upside by building proprietary design capabilities through tech transfers and global talent acquisition.

Long-term targets

Dixon’s long-term ambition is to scale up its revenue from ~INR490b currently to INR1t over the next few years, with management indicating a potential INR1.8t-2.0t revenue opportunity by FY30, based on its targeted 13-14% share. Within mobile, the company aims to increase production from ~32m units to 70-75m units while expanding into components, IT hardware, telecom, appliances and design-led manufacturing. Dixon also targets EBITDA margins of ~4.5% over time vs. ~3% currently, with higher-margin businesses such as optical transceivers, SSDs and telecom providing further upside. Management remains particularly optimistic about the opportunity in AI, data centers and optical networks, which are not fully reflected in the company’s current long-term projections.
