Dixon & Signify Form Lightanium Technologies to Boost Lighting Biz in India

In a major strategic move aimed at strengthening their presence in the lighting segment, Dixon Technologies (India) Limited and Signify Innovations India Limited have entered into a Joint Venture (JV) agreement to form Lightanium Technologies Private Limited.

The two companies will hold equal stakes of 50% each in the new JV, subject to the fulfilment of necessary conditions precedent.

Structure of the Joint Venture

The JV formation involves multiple agreements executed on July 16, 2025, that facilitate the transfer and consolidation of the lighting businesses of both Dixon and Signify into Lightanium Technologies.

1. Stake Transfer through Equity Exchange: Dixon Technologies has signed a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with its wholly owned subsidiary, Dixon Technologies Solutions Private Limited (DTSPL), and the JV Company. Under this agreement, Dixon will transfer 100% of its equity stake in DTSPL (10,000 shares of ₹10 each) to the JV Company.  
   In return, Dixon will receive 2.5 crore equity shares of the JV (₹10 each), representing 8.75% of its post-issue paid-up capital. This transaction is being settled via consideration other than cash.
2. Transfer of Lighting Business on Slump Sale Basis: Through a Business Transfer Agreement, Dixon will transfer its lighting business operations to the JV as a going concern on a slump sale basis, as per Section 2(42C) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.  
   In return, Dixon will be issued 11.53 crore equity shares of the JV, equating to 40.37% of its post-issue paid-up capital. This strengthens Dixon’s overall stake to 49.12% before rounding to the final 50:50 distribution post all transactions.
3. Signify’s Contribution and Cash Infusion 
   In parallel, Signify has entered into its own Business Transfer Agreement with the JV Company. Under the terms, Signify will subscribe to 14.03 crore equity shares (₹10 each), amounting to 49.12% of the JV's post-issue paid-up capital, by investing ₹140.3 crore in cash. These funds will be utilised by the JV Company to acquire Signify’s Vadodara-based LED lighting manufacturing operations on a slump sale basis.

Equity Ownership and Strategic Synergy

Once all the conditions precedent in the respective agreements are met and transactions completed, Dixon Technologies and Signify will each hold a 50% stake in Lightanium Technologies Private Limited. The JV is expected to leverage Dixon’s strong OEM manufacturing capabilities and Signify’s global brand strength and technical expertise to become a major force in the lighting solutions sector.

The structure of this JV ensures both partners bring unique strengths, Dixon with its extensive electronics manufacturing experience and Signify with its innovative lighting technologies and product portfolio.
