India’s popular contract manufacturer, Dixon, has signed a major partnership with HP India for the manufacturing of notebooks, desktops, and All-in-One PCs locally. Dixon’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Padget Electronics, has signed an MoU with HP India to make this possible.
Both Padget Electronics and HP India are part of the Production Linked Incentive Scheme 2.0 (PLI Scheme 2.0) for IT Hardware, making them eligible for subsidies from the Government of India. This six-year project has a budget of Rs 17,000 crore.
This significant collaboration will not only bolster HP’s manufacturing capabilities in India but also contribute to the Government’s ambitious “Make in India” program.
Electronics & Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the 3 lakh sq ft facility in Chennai is capable of producing 20 lakh units/year by 2025 and will create many job opportunities.
