In a major development for India’s automotive landscape, KPIT Technologies and JSW Motors have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at building a robust software and digital backbone for new energy vehicles (NEVs).
The partnership is positioned to significantly enhance JSW Motors’ capabilities in the electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid segments, with KPIT bringing in its global expertise in Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), electric propulsion systems, and battery innovation. The collaboration also reflects KPIT’s deeper strategic commitment to India’s evolving mobility ecosystem.
JSW Motors, the newly established automotive arm of the JSW Group, is investing $3 billion over the next five years to launch a full range of new energy vehicles. The company’s first NEV is expected to debut on Indian roads in the second half of FY2026, with a 630-acre manufacturing hub currently under development in Bidkin, Maharashtra.
Kishor Patil, CEO & MD of KPIT Technologies, said:
“We are proud to partner with JSW Motors in their ambitious journey to transform India’s automotive landscape. Our global experience in SDV programs enables us to contribute cutting-edge technology for cleaner, smarter mobility.”
Ranjan Nayak, CEO of JSW Motors, added:
“By integrating the best of global technology through KPIT, we aim to build world-class, sustainable vehicles and energize India’s auto ecosystem.”
As part of this partnership, KPIT will establish a dedicated Center of Excellence for JSW Motors, focusing on end-to-end software and system development tailored to NEVs. This initiative is expected to set new benchmarks in performance, sustainability, and user experience for the Indian automotive sector.
