Noida: Dixon Technologies has become the third company to secure land in the Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) in Sector 10, developed by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) near the upcoming Noida International Airport.
The company has been issued a Letter of Intent (LoI) for 22.5 acres, with plans to set up manufacturing units for mobile phones, consumer electronics, telecom equipment, lighting products, and white goods.
The proposal, which received in-principle approval from YEIDA, now awaits final clearance from the Invest UP Empowered Committee and is subject to state policies and regulatory norms.
“With Dixon’s entry, the cluster is expected to emerge as a major electronics manufacturing hub in northern India, driving investment and employment,” said YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh.
The electronics hub in Sector 10 is part of the Centre’s EMC 2.0 scheme and had received in-principle approval from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) during the seventh Project Review Committee meeting on 11 April.
Havells India Ltd is the anchor unit for the project and has already been allotted 50 acres within the 206-acre cluster.
Officials confirmed that land acquisition for the EMC is underway, with provisional LoIs being issued to qualified companies. Apart from Dixon, approvals have also been granted recently to Ascent-K Circuit and Aurionpro ToshiAutomatic Systems, indicating rising industry interest in the cluster.
Dixon Technologies, which operates multiple manufacturing units in Noida and Greater Noida, produces smartphones for Xiaomi, Motorola, and Nokia, along with wearables for Boat.
Its 20-acre plant in Ecotech 8 manufactures refrigerators and the company also runs a PCB production facility for air conditioners in partnership with Japanese firm Rexxame. In 2023, Dixon signed an MoU with the Uttar Pradesh government during the Global Investors Summit, committing to expand its footprint in the region.
