The China+1 strategy, government PLI incentives, rising smartphone, EV, defence, automotive, and industrial electronics demand are driving growth. EMS companies are taking advantage of global brands outsourcing manufacturing to India.
Investors are attracted by strong revenue growth, expanding order books, and long-term manufacturing opportunities.
Against this backdrop, here are four stocks to watch from the EMS space.
PG Electroplast is one of India's fast-growing EMS and Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) companies. It manufactures products for leading consumer brands rather than selling products under its own brand.
It has presence in room air conditioners (split and window ACs), washing machines, LED television, air coolers, plastic molded components, PCB assemblies, sheet metal parts AC components such as heat exchangers and coils.
The company has aggressive expansion plans, which make it an interesting stock to add to your 2027 watchlist. PG Electroplast is developing a new refrigerant manufacturing facility in Sri City, South India, and it's progressing well.
It also plans to start commercial production by Q4FY27, and this facility is expected to become a meaningful revenue stream in FY28.
The company is also establishing a rotary compressor manufacturing facility at its Supa plant. Operations for the same are expected to commence by Q4FY27.
PG Electroplast will have a capacity of 2 million (m) compressors in the first phase, which can be expanded to 4 m compressors in the second phase.
The company's expanded washing machine facility is now operational at Greater Noida. The management says that they have strong order book visibility and outsourcing momentum in the semi-automatic segment continues to build.
PG Electroplast has grown this business by 52% in FY26, and the management looks forward to again growing this business in a very meaningful manner in this financial year.

For FY26, standalone revenue stood at a record Rs 9,730 m, up 25% YoY. The EBITDA stood at Rs 1,210 m, reflecting a 28% YoY growth, translating into a margin of 12.42%.
Profit before exceptional items and tax for the period was Rs 1,000 m, reflecting exceptional YoY growth of 63%. During FY26, profitability was impacted by a onetime exceptional item of Rs 2,030 m, relating to provisions and impairments in overseas subsidiaries.
Moving ahead, the company has also undertaken a restructuring exercise, which could be a reason to watch the stock, as the closed subsidiaries could improve profits.
In Canada, operations were discontinued during Q4 FY26 and the wind-up process is under progress. In Europe, the French subsidiary entered the legal restructuring process during March 2026, currently progressing through a court supervised asset sale process.
According to the management, with the overseas restructuring actions now substantially progressing towards closure, the company is increasing its focus on scaling its core ESDM platform supported by strong execution, robust order book, expanding customer engagements, and a healthy long-term opportunity pipeline across both BTS and EMS businesses.

On the financial front, the consolidated revenue of Amber Enterprises grew 22%, reaching Rs 121.86 bn for the year and recorded operating EBITDA of Rs 9.7 bn with growth of 22%. Adjusted net profit stood at Rs 3.38 bn, recording a growth of 22% over the previous year.
Amber becomes a good stock to watch because of its recent collaboration with Oppo in June 2026 to manufacture mobile phones.
This collaboration meaningfully diversifies Amber's revenue profile and, importantly, reduces the seasonal concentration inherent in its room air conditioner business.
The agreement covers 3 brands: Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme. The company expects trial production to commence in quarter 4 of FY27, with commercial production to start by quarter 1 of FY28.
On the electronics side, on the expansion front, Amber Enterprises received Rs 45 bn total investment approvals under ECMS for Ascent-K Circuit in Noida for HDI PCB, along with Ascent Circuits in Hosur and Shogini in Pune for multilayer PCB applications.

Conclusion
While there is little doubt that EMS companies do have a growth story, there are things that investors should take note of.
Valuations have risen sharply across many EMS stocks, so investors must focus on companies with reasonable valuations, strong customers, niche capabilities, and sustainable profit growth rather than blindly chase the entire sector.
Investors should evaluate the company's fundamentals, corporate governance, and valuations of the stock as key factors when conducting due diligence before making investment decisions.
Happy investing.
