Tata Elxsi and Infineon Partner to Develop Application‑Ready EV Solutions for India.

Economy Business | Dated: 23 Jun 2025

In June 2025, Bengaluru‑based Tata Elxsi signed an MoU with Infineon Technologies AG of Germany to jointly develop application‑ready electric vehicle (EV) systems customized for India’s rapidly growing EV market.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services under the Tata Group, and Infineon Technologies AG, a top semiconductor innovator, will collaborate on creating automotive-grade EV components including high‑voltage inverters, scalable battery management systems (BMS), bidirectional onboard chargers, and thermal management systems tailored for Indian two‑wheelers, three‑wheelers, passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles.
  • - The partnership aligns with NITI Aayog’s national electric mobility goals—targeting 80 percent electrification of two- and three-wheelers and 70 percent of commercial vehicles by 2030—all while addressing India’s surge in EV sales (25–30 percent YoY in 2024, with 28 percent rise in 2W/3W markets).
  • - A key focus is achieving ASIL-D compliance per ISO 26262 functional safety standards, ensuring the EV subsystems meet top-tier safety requirements. Infineon will provide silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor components, microcontrollers, and integrated circuits, while Tata Elxsi handles system integration, validation, and design customization.

💡 Other Important Facts:

  • (i) Beyond mainstream vehicles, the partners plan to extend their EV solutions to electric Vertical Take‑Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles, energy storage systems, and off‑highway sectors—signaling readiness for future mobility challenges.
  • (ii) Nambi Ganesh, Head of Automotive at Tata Elxsi, emphasized that many existing EV solutions are already built on Infineon chips; the MoU will deepen system‑level alignment and accelerate go-to‑market timelines for the Indian market.
  • (iii) Kenneth Lim, Senior Vice President of Automotive at Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific, stated the collaboration reinforces India’s electrification efforts by merging Tata Elxsi’s design expertise with Infineon’s semiconductor innovation—ultimately delivering cost-optimized, safe, and scalable EV systems.
