Tata Elxsi, Infineon partner to develop application-ready EV solutions
Tata Elxsi and Infineon Technologies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly develop electric vehicle (EV) systems for the Indian market. The companies will collaborate to develop high-voltage inverters, battery management systems, onboard chargers, and thermal management systems for India's electric two-wheeler, three-wheeler, passenger vehicle, and commercial vehicle segments. The partnership also plans to explore electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL), energy, and off-highway applications. Tata Elxsi, a Tata Group company, will contribute design and integration capabilities, while Infineon will provide early access to semiconductor technologies such as silicon carbide-based components, microcontrollers, and integrated circuits. The partnership aims to combine system integration capabilities and semiconductor technologies to create safe automotive systems. It also addresses requirements such as Automotive Safety Integrity Level D, which is the highest safety classification under ISO 26262. Tata Elxsi provides solutions in connected mobility, network transformation, and medical engineering. Overall EV sales in India grew by 25–30 per cent in 2024, including a 28 per cent increase in electric two and three wheeler sales. '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,' 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,' said Kenneth Lim, Senior Vice President, Automotive, Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific. In April, Tata Elxsi had entered into a multi-year agreement worth €50 million with a Europe-based automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM). As part of the agreement, Tata Elxsi will support platform and application development in the areas of software-defined vehicles (SDV), electrification, and body and chassis systems.

Tata Elxsi and Infineon join forces to boost EV innovation in India
In a major step towards advancing India's electric vehicle (EV) landscape, Tata Elxsi and Infineon Technologies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop ready-to-deploy EV systems tailored for Indian roads. The partnership aims to address the country's growing need for scalable and safe electrification solutions across mobility segments including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger vehicles, and commercial fleets. The announcement was made via a press release dated June 18, 2025, where both companies underscored their commitment to accelerating EV adoption in line with India's national electrification targets. '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,' said Nambi Ganesh, Head of Automotive at Tata Elxsi. He added, 'As EV adoption scales, our focus remains on delivering production-ready, automotive standards-compliant platforms and solutions.' Infineon, a global leader in semiconductor solutions, will bring its advanced technologies such as silicon carbide (SiC) components, microcontrollers, and ICs to the collaboration. These will be integrated with Tata Elxsi's design, system integration, and validation capabilities to develop high-voltage inverters, scalable battery management systems, bi-directional onboard chargers, and thermal management systems. Kenneth Lim, Senior Vice President – Automotive at Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership: '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.' Importantly, the systems will address critical compliance requirements such as ASIL-D certification as per ISO 26262, ensuring functional safety for road vehicles. This initiative also aligns with NITI Aayog's ambitious electrification goals, which include 80% electrification of two- and three-wheelers and 70% of commercial vehicles by 2030. As the EV sector in India grows at a rate of 25–30% annually, this collaboration promises to create impactful, localized solutions that can be rapidly deployed and scaled across the country.

India's EV Future Gets a Boost as Tata Elxsi and Infineon Team Up
In a significant move to fast-track India's electric mobility ecosystem, Tata Elxsi and Infineon Technologies have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to co-develop application-ready electric vehicle (EV) systems tailored specifically for the Indian market. The collaboration will focus on delivering ready-to-deploy solutions across various mobility segments, including two-wheelers (2W), three-wheelers (3W), passenger vehicles (PV), and commercial vehicles (CV). This comes at a time when EV sales in India have seen a 25–30% year-on-year growth, with electric 2W and 3W sales alone witnessing a 28% increase in 2024. Aimed at Rapid Electrification As India pushes toward ambitious electrification targets, the Tata Elxsi–Infineon partnership aims to build cost-optimised, automotive-grade, and safety-compliant subsystems, while adhering to critical safety standards like ASIL-D compliance under ISO 26262. Tata Elxsi will lead with its system design, integration, and validation capabilities, while Infineon brings early access to its cutting-edge semiconductor technologies, including silicon carbide (SiC) components, microcontrollers, and integrated circuits. Technological Scope of the Partnership The partnership will work on core EV systems such as: High-voltage inverters for traction and auxiliary systems Scalable battery management systems (BMS) Bi-directional onboard chargers High-voltage thermal management solutions These solutions are designed to meet the needs of India's fast-evolving mobility landscape and may extend to sectors such as eVTOL, energy, and off-highway applications in the future. Nambi Ganesh, Head of Automotive at Tata Elxsi, said: '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.'
