Tata Elxsi and Infineon Partner to Accelerate EV Innovation in India

Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, and Infineon Technologies, a global leader in semiconductor solutions, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop application-ready EV solutions tailored to the Indian market. 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. The partnership strategically leverages design and integration expertise, enabling faster adoption of automotive-grade, cost-optimised, and safety-compliant subsystems across key mobility segments. It addresses 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. This will serve India’s fast-evolving 2W, 3W, PV, and CV segments, with future pathways to address eVTOL, energy, and off-highway sectors.
