Dixon Technologies said on Friday that it and NxtCell India Private Ltd. had signed a contract for the production of smartphones for the French company Alcatel.
In an exchange filing, Dixon subsidiary Padget Electronics stated that it will begin manufacturing within the next 12 to 18 months.
In its April 1 issue, media revealed that NxtCell and Dixon Technologies were in negotiations to produce Alcatel phones.
“This strategic association with NxtCell India will further strengthen our manufacturing excellence and execution capabilities…This partnership is engineered to deliver high-performance devices, fortify local supply chains, catalyse employment, and stimulate ancillary industries within India’s burgeoning electronics ecosystem,” said Atul Lall, managing director, Dixon Technologies.
The sole brand permission from TCL to represent and run the Alcatel brand in India and a few other foreign markets is held by NxtCell India, a Gurgaon-based firm that is entirely Indian-owned.
According to the corporation, this collaboration with NxtCell represents Alcatel’s foray into domestic production in the Indian market.
After Taiwan-based Acer recently revealed plans to sell smartphones in India through a cooperation with India-based Indkal Technologies, Alcatel will be the second smartphone to arrive in the nation in the past two years.
Chief business officer Atul Vivek had said media that Alcatel is spending $30 million to reenter the Indian market in the consumer technology sector starting in May with a line of smartphones and feature phones in addition to ecosystem goods.
