In a major step towards advancing India’s electric vehicle (EV) landscape, Tata Elxsi and Infineon Technologies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop ready-to-deploy EV systems tailored for Indian roads. The partnership aims to address the country’s growing need for scalable and safe electrification solutions across mobility segments including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger vehicles, and commercial fleets.
The announcement was made via a press release dated June 18, 2025, where both companies underscored their commitment to accelerating EV adoption in line with India’s national electrification targets.
“This MoU further strengthens our partnership by giving us a clearer scope and tighter system-level alignment, enabling shorter turnaround times to address Indian market requirements,” said Nambi Ganesh, Head of Automotive at Tata Elxsi. He added, “As EV adoption scales, our focus remains on delivering production-ready, automotive standards-compliant platforms and solutions.”
Infineon, a global leader in semiconductor solutions, will bring its advanced technologies such as silicon carbide (SiC) components, microcontrollers, and ICs to the collaboration. These will be integrated with Tata Elxsi’s design, system integration, and validation capabilities to develop high-voltage inverters, scalable battery management systems, bi-directional onboard chargers, and thermal management systems.
Kenneth Lim, Senior Vice President – Automotive at Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership: “By combining Tata Elxsi’s design and integration expertise with our advanced semiconductor solutions, we are not only enhancing the development of ready-to-deploy EV systems but also ensuring that they meet the highest safety and performance standards.”
Importantly, the systems will address critical compliance requirements such as ASIL-D certification as per ISO 26262, ensuring functional safety for road vehicles.
This initiative also aligns with NITI Aayog’s ambitious electrification goals, which include 80% electrification of two- and three-wheelers and 70% of commercial vehicles by 2030.
As the EV sector in India grows at a rate of 25–30% annually, this collaboration promises to create impactful, localized solutions that can be rapidly deployed and scaled across the country.
