In an interaction with CNBC-TV18,Dixon Tech's MD Atul Lall said, "I'll request that it would be more prudent to compare year on year (YoY). If you compare YoY basis, because quarter one for us, is relatively subdued. There is a margin expansion, both in lighting as well as consumer electronics and our television business. On quarter on quarter, there has been a bit of compression, primarily because the demand in quarter one is normally subdued and the fixed costs remain the same. And we feel going forward when you compare YoY, the margins would be in a similar range of what they were earlier."

Lall said that the company is not giving any guidance this year, but assured "all the stakeholders that the growth is going to be much ahead of industry growth in line with the expectations and the expectations that we have built earlier".

"In the EMS side, the margins are in the range of around 2.7 to 3.5 percent. So they are going to operate in this particular range in mobile business and also our other EMS businesses," Lall said.

Dixon Technologies is engaged in manufacturing products in the consumer durables, lighting and mobile phones/ smart phones markets in India.
