Tata Elxsi, a leading design and technology services provider, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Infineon Technologies, a leader in semiconductor solutions, to jointly develop application-ready electric vehicle (EV) solutions tailored to the Indian market.
The partnership focuses on developing ready-to-deploy EV systems built on Infineon technologies for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles, with future pathways to address eVTOL, energy, and off-highway sectors.
This strategic collaboration aligns with India’s rapid shift towards electrification, with EV sales growing by 25–30% year-on-year in 2024, including a 28% increase in electric two- and three-wheeler sales. It will strategically leverage design and integration expertise to accelerate the adoption of automotive-grade, cost-optimized, and safety-compliant subsystems across key mobility segments.
The solutions developed will meet critical safety requirements such as ASIL-D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level D) compliance, as per ISO 26262 (Functional Safety of Road Vehicles) standards.
Tata Elxsi brings its design, system integration, and validation capabilities, while Infineon will provide early access to its latest semiconductor technologies—such as silicon carbide (SiC)-based components, microcontrollers, and integrated circuits (ICs).
Through this collaboration, Tata Elxsi and Infineon will work closely to develop high-voltage inverters for traction and auxiliary systems, scalable battery management systems (BMS), bi-directional onboard chargers, and high-voltage thermal management solutions for the Indian market.
“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.
“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.
