Acer India and Dixon Technologies Team Up to Build Laptops in Made in India Initiative

As more and more smartphone brands are trying to start manufacturing their phones in India and Samsung is a smartphone manufacturing crusader in India, other industries are also feeling the need to step into the game by manufacturing locally here in India. A few months ago, Samsung moved display production from China to Noida, and now Taiwanese PC leader Acer is also starting to manufacture its laptops in India. Acer India and Dixon Technologies have teamed up to produce Acer laptops at Dixon’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Noida. The manufacturing division was yesterday Mr. Saurab Gaur, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, and he opened the division in the presence of Sunil Vachani, Executive Chairman of Dixon Technologies, Harish Kohli,

Acer India has partnered with Dixon Technologies to manufacture its products in India.

Acer India said in a press release that the plant will be capable of producing up to 500,000 laptops a year. The company also said that the PLI (Product Linked Incentives) offered by the Government of India is a game changer that will help increase domestic value added and turn India into a key export hub.

For now, the Taiwanese computer giant relies heavily on China to manufacture its products such as laptops and monitors, projectors, accessories, and more. However, with the ambition to make in India, along with PLI, the company is now trying to manufacture its products in India itself and export them all over the world.
