Ather Energy, one of India’s leading electric two-wheeler manufacturers, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific, a global leader in semiconductor solutions. The partnership aims to drive technological advancements in India’s electric vehicle (EV) sector, focusing on light electric vehicles (LEVs), charging infrastructure, and safety systems.
The collaboration will combine Ather’s deep experience in designing advanced electric scooters with Infineon’s cutting-edge semiconductor technologies, including microcontrollers and automotive-grade sensors. Together, the companies seek to develop more efficient, reliable, and affordable EV solutions to support the growing demand for sustainable mobility in India.
This strategic alliance reflects a shared commitment to strengthening India’s EV ecosystem and accelerating the transition to cleaner, smarter transportation.
Swapnil Jain, Executive Director and CTO, Ather Energy,said, “At Ather, we’ve always believed that building great EVs starts with getting the fundamentals right – performance, efficiency, reliability. Our approach has always been grounded in first-principles thinking and deep engineering, questioning how every system can be made better, faster, and more efficient. That’s where semiconductor innovation becomes critical. Infineon’s leadership in semiconductors and system solutions brings deep expertise that aligns with our engineering-first approach. Our partnership with Infineon gives us access to advanced technologies that can help us improve key systems, from charging to safety and explore ways to reduce system complexity and cost. We’re looking forward to seeing how this collaboration can help us push the boundaries, not just for our products, but for the larger EV ecosystem in India.”
Peter Schaefer, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer Automotive at Infineon, added, “India is one of the fastest-growing EV markets globally, and electric two-wheelers are at the heart of this transformation. We are thrilled to partner with Ather Energy to enable the next generation of sustainable mobility solutions. Our advanced SiC and GaN technologies will help drive energy-efficient and high-performance electric vehicles. This partnership will foster innovation that contributes meaningfully to India’s ambitious objective to reach a 30 percent sales share for EVs by 2030.”
