The Government of Tamil Nadu has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dixon Technologies for the establishment of a new laptop manufacturing plant in the state. As part of this agreement, Dixon will invest approximately ₹1,000 crore to set up a cutting-edge facility at Indospace Industrial Park in Oragadam, near Chennai. The plant will primarily produce HP-branded laptops and all-in-one PCs, and is expected to create around 5,000 new jobs, significantly boosting employment in the Kancheepuram district.
The investment will be rolled out in phases, with an initial allocation of ₹250–300 crore. Once operational, this will become Dixon Technologies’ 24th manufacturing facility in India, adding to its current presence in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Andhra Pradesh. While HP laptops are the initial focus, sources from the Tamil Nadu Industries Department indicate that the facility is intended to serve as a multi-brand manufacturing hub, with plans to support the production of devices for at least three additional technology brands.
Equipped with advanced automation, the facility will feature precision systems for motherboard soldering, ESD-safe zones, and modern quality control infrastructure. These systems are designed to meet global production standards while providing flexibility to accommodate various product lines. Initially expected to generate 1,500 jobs as per earlier discussions in 2024 between HP and Padget Electronics (a Dixon subsidiary), the latest projections reflect a much larger impact, with 5,000 employment opportunities, particularly for youth in the region.
This development is aligned with Tamil Nadu’s long-term vision to become a leader in electronics manufacturing. Under Chief Minister MK Stalin’s leadership, the state is pursuing the creation of a $100 billion electronics ecosystem, and this facility represents a key milestone toward that goal. Tamil Nadu is already India’s second-largest economy and a leading hub for manufacturing and exports.
Beyond this partnership, Dixon Technologies is also expanding its footprint in the broader electronics sector. The company recently formed a joint venture with Vivo India for smartphone manufacturing and is exploring the possibility of setting up a $3 billion display fabrication facility in the country. In addition, Dixon has signed an MoU with Dassault Systèmes to adopt DELMIA Apriso applications for enhancing manufacturing efficiency. As global supply chains shift and diversify away from China, Tamil Nadu’s growing manufacturing strength places it in a favorable position to attract new investments and become a major player in the global electronics supply chain.
With a robust infrastructure, the company delivers end-to-end solutions, including product design, manufacturing, and after-sales services. Headquartered in Noida, Dixon has played a pivotal role in supporting India’s “Make in India” initiative, contributing significantly to domestic manufacturing and reducing import dependency. Its commitment to innovation, quality, and operational excellence has made it a trusted partner for global and Indian brands, reinforcing its leadership in the EMS space.
