Shares of Dixon Technologies India jumped as much as 4% to Rs 14,027 on the BSE on Friday after Chinese smartphone brand Vivo Mobile India received the long-pending government approval to form a joint-venture partnership with Dixon for manufacturing of smartphones.
Both companies had signed a binding term sheet in December 2024 under which the electronics manufacturer will hold 51% of the share capital, while Vivo India will have 49% share. The joint-venture was pending government approval under the Press Note 3 of 2020 which mandates companies from countries sharing a land border with India to require government approval to invest in India.
