The company has signed a production agreement with PAX India, a subsidiary of global payment solutions leader PAX Technology, to manufacture POS devices domestically. Commercial production is expected to begin by the end of 2025, marking PG Electroplast’s first foray into the fast-growing fintech hardware space. This move not only diversifies its portfolio but also aligns with India’s push for self-reliance in digital infrastructure.
Key Developments And Strategic Highlights

Partnership With PAX India: A Game-Changer
The agreement with PAX India is a significant milestone for PG Electroplast, which has traditionally focused on consumer durables and plastic components. PAX Technology, headquartered in China, is one of the world’s leading providers of electronic payment terminals and software. Through its Indian arm, PAX India aims to localize production and reduce dependence on imports.
Key aspects of the collaboration include:
- Transfer of technology and design specifications from PAX to PG Electroplast
- Joint quality assurance protocols to meet global compliance standards
- Scalable production lines to support future demand surges
- Integration of smart features including biometric authentication and NFC
This partnership is expected to open new revenue streams for PG Electroplast and deepen its presence in the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) domain.
Manufacturing Rollout And Facility Readiness
PG Electroplast plans to begin commercial production of POS devices by the end of 2025. The company will utilize its Greater Noida campus, which already houses advanced surface-mount technology (SMT) lines and PCB assembly units. The facility is being upgraded to accommodate the specialized requirements of payment terminals.
Production roadmap includes:
- Initial capacity of 1 million units annually, scalable to 3 million
- Dedicated clean rooms and ESD-safe zones for sensitive components
- Automated testing and calibration stations for device accuracy
- Workforce training programs in collaboration with PAX India
The company expects to complete trial runs by November and begin full-scale dispatches in December.
Market Opportunity And Sectoral Impact
India’s POS device market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12 percent over the next five years, driven by rising digital transactions, UPI adoption, and government incentives for cashless payments. PG Electroplast’s entry into this space positions it to benefit from both domestic demand and export opportunities.
Market dynamics favoring the move:
- Over 6 million POS terminals currently deployed in India
- Increasing demand from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities
- Rising adoption of smart POS systems in retail, hospitality, and logistics
- Government push for indigenous hardware under PLI schemes
By manufacturing locally, PG Electroplast and PAX India aim to reduce costs, improve supply chain resilience, and offer faster customization for Indian clients.
Conclusion: A Strategic Leap Into Fintech Manufacturing
PG Electroplast’s decision to manufacture POS devices marks a bold expansion into fintech hardware, backed by a global partner and a clear production roadmap. With commercial rollout expected by year-end, the company is poised to tap into one of India’s most dynamic and fast-evolving sectors. This move not only diversifies its business but also reinforces its role as a key enabler of India’s digital transformation.
