Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Infineon Technologies, a leading semiconductor solutions provider, to jointly develop application-ready electric vehicle (EV) solutions tailored to the Indian market. This collaboration comes at a pivotal time, with India’s EV sales growing 25–30% year-on-year in 2024, including a notable 28% surge in electric two- and three-wheeler segments. By combining Tata Elxsi’s strengths in design, integration, and validation with Infineon’s advanced semiconductor technologies—such as SiC-based components, microcontrollers, and integrated circuits—the partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of safe, cost-effective, automotive-grade EV subsystems.
“Currently, several of our EV solutions are already built on Infineon SoCs and components. 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. As EV adoption scales, our focus remains on delivering production-ready, automotive standards-compliant platforms and solutions,” said Nambi Ganesh, Head of Automotive, Tata Elxsi.
“At Infineon, we are committed to driving innovation in the electric vehicle sector and empowering our partners to bring cutting-edge technologies to market. This partnership with Tata Elxsi is a significant step in our journey to support India’s ambitious electrification goals. 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. Together, we aim to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility across various segments, from two-wheelers to commercial vehicles, and contribute to a more sustainable future for India,” said Kenneth Lim, Senior Vice President, Automotive, Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific.
The collaboration will focus on developing high-voltage traction and auxiliary inverters, scalable battery management systems, bi-directional onboard chargers, and thermal management solutions designed to meet the specific needs of India’s dynamic mobility market. These solutions will support a wide range of segments including two- and three-wheelers, passenger vehicles (PV), and commercial vehicles (CV), while also laying the groundwork for emerging areas such as eVTOL, off-highway, and energy applications. All systems will be developed with compliance to ISO 26262 safety standards, targeting ASIL-D certification to ensure the highest level of functional safety in EV design.
