Tata Elxsi, the design and technology services arm of the Tata Group, has announced a approximately ₹485 crore (€50 million) multi-year strategic deal with a leading European automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The collaboration marks a major milestone in Tata Elxsi’s positioning as a global engineering partner in the rapidly evolving software-defined vehicle (SDV) landscape.
Under this agreement, Tata Elxsi will establish a dedicated Global Engineering Centre to support the OEM’s platform roadmap and brand-specific software engineering initiatives. This centre will focus on core areas such as SDV platforms, vehicle electrification, body and chassis engineering, and cloud-native development.
The scope of the partnership includes developing a unified technology stack comprising a proprietary operating system, electronic architecture, and automotive cloud platform to power next-gen in-vehicle connectivity and upgradable software features across multiple product lines.
Tata Elxsi was chosen for its deep domain expertise in electrification, infotainment, body & chassis, and cybersecurity, along with its proven capabilities in delivering large-scale global engineering programs for major OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. The company’s recently launched AVENIR™ SDV development framework and solutions like AUTONOMAI (ADAS suite), TETHER (connected vehicle platform), and MOBIUS+ (digital product passport) further strengthen its delivery stack.
Manoj Raghavan, CEO & MD of Tata Elxsi, said, “This engagement is a strategic step forward in our ambition to lead in platform-centric, software-led mobility. We are proud to be a long-term engineering partner for our client’s SDV journey, offering innovation, scale, and delivery excellence.”
This deal cements Tata Elxsi’s growing influence in the global automotive software engineering space, as OEMs accelerate their transition towards electric, autonomous, and connected vehicles.
