Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, and Infineon Technologies, a global leader in semiconductor solutions, have signed a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to jointly develop application-ready EV solution tailored to the Indian market.
The collaboration focuses on ready-to-deploy EV system built on Infineon technologies for two-wheelers (2W), three-wheelers (3W), passenger vehicles (PV), and commercial vehicles (CV). This aligns with India’s rapid shift towards electrification, with EV sales growing by 25 to 30% YoY in 2024, including a 28% increase in electric two-wheeler and three-wheeler sales.
Nambi Ganesh, Head of Automotive, Tata Elxsi, stated, “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.”
The partnership combines design and integration strengths to accelerate the deployment of automotive-grade, cost-effective, and safety-compliant subsystems across major mobility segments. A key focus is meeting critical safety standards, including ASIL-D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level D) compliance under ISO 26262 (Functional Safety of Road Vehicles).

Tata Elxsi will contribute its expertise in design, system integration, and validation, while Infineon will offer early access to its cutting-edge semiconductor technologies, including silicon carbide (SiC) components, microcontrollers, and integrated circuits.
“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.
Together, the two companies will co-develop advanced solutions such as high-voltage inverters for traction and auxiliary systems, scalable battery management systems (BMS), bi-directional onboard chargers, and high-voltage thermal management systems tailored to the Indian market. These innovations will cater to India’s rapidly growing 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler, passenger vehicle, and commercial vehicle sectors, with plans to expand into areas like eVTOL, energy, and off-highway applications.
This initiative supports national targets outlined by NITI Aayog, including 80% electrification of 2W and 3W and 70% of CVs by 2030.
