In a strategic move to enhance India’s IT hardware ecosystem, Dixon Technologies has entered into a joint venture with Taiwan-based original design manufacturer (ODM) Inventec. The new entity, Dixon IT Devices, will be 60 percent owned by Dixon and 40 percent by Inventec.

The venture will focus on manufacturing notebook PCs, servers, desktops, and PC components in India. It aligns with the Indian government’s Rs 22,000 crore electronic component manufacturing scheme, with each of Dixon’s subsidiaries planning to apply for the incentive individually.

Dixon will set up a dedicated manufacturing park for the JV, distinct from its upcoming Rs 1,000 crore facility in Chennai. The collaboration provides Dixon access to Inventec’s design expertise and its global clientele, while helping Inventec diversify its manufacturing base outside China amid looming US tariffs. The move is also expected to strengthen India’s capabilities in designing servers.

The JV will enhance Dixon’s global standing by leveraging Inventec’s role as an ODM for brands like HP and Dell. With anticipated tariffs on Chinese IT hardware imports to the US, part of Inventec’s production may shift to India, boosting the country's profile in global supply chains. Jack Tsai, President of Inventec, commented, “By offering a more diversified manufacturing footprint, we aim to strengthen supply chain resilience, optimize cost-efficiency, and align with Inventec’s long-term globalization strategy.”
