India's largest EMS company (phones, TVs, appliances) using ECMS to move into camera modules, display modules and optical transceivers through JVs with Chinese partners
Price
₹11,000
snapshot 30 Oct 2026
Strengths
Several ECMS approvals: camera modules via Kunshan Q Tech India and optical transceivers via Dixon Electroconnect (Jan 2026), display modules via Dixon Display Technologies (Mar 2026, ₹1,100 Cr)
Display JV with China's HKC received Press Note 3 approval on 9 Mar 2026
Scale: FY26 revenue ~₹48,900 Cr gives it captive demand for its own modules
Risks
Depends on Chinese partners (HKC, Q Tech) for technology and on government approvals for each JV
Very thin assembly margins (net margin ~3%) until components scale
Note: ECMS: camera modules, display modules, optical transceivers

Where it fits
Glass display panels (LCD or OLED, still imported) are laminated with touch sensors and cover glass, bonded to driver chips and flex cables, and tested into a module that drops straight into a phone, laptop, TV or car dashboard.
Why it matters
The display is usually the second most expensive part of a phone. ECMS pays 4% of extra sales in year 1 falling to 1% by year 6 (minimum investment ₹250 Cr) for display module sub-assembly - India's first step before any panel fab.
Where the value pool sits
Module assembly captures a modest slice of the display's value (the panel itself is most of it) but at very high volumes. Samsung's Noida display unit and Dixon's HKC joint venture are the largest approved projects.
Key drivers
Phone, laptop and TV volumes in India
Automotive digital clusters (Minda's Pune plant)
ECMS turnover incentive of 1-4% of extra sales
Potential bottlenecks
Panels (glass) are not made in India; only the module step is
Chinese partner technology (HKC) needs Press Note 3 approval
Large working capital for panel inventory
Investor metrics to watch
Module volumes (Dixon targets ~2 million units a month initially)
