Ather Energy And Infineon Technologies Join Hands To Accelerate EV Innovation In India

In a significant step toward boosting India's electric vehicle ecosystem, Ather Energy, one of the country's leading electric two-wheeler manufacturers, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific, a global leader in semi-conductor solutions. The agreement was formalised in Seoul, South Korea, and is aimed at advancing innovation in India's fast-growing EV sector. The partnership will focus on leveraging Infineon's cutting-edge semi-conductor technologies that include advanced micro-controllers and automotive-grade sensors, alongside Ather's proven expertise in designing high-performance Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs). The collaboration is expected to support the development of more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective EV solutions tailored for the Indian market. 

Swapnil Jain, Executive Director and CTO, Ather Energy, said, "At Ather, we've always believed that building great EVs starts with getting the fundamentals right - performance, efficiency, reliability. Our approach has always been grounded in first-principles thinking and deep engineering, questioning how every system can be made better, faster, and more efficient. That's where semi-conductor innovation becomes critical. Infineon's leadership in semi-conductors and system solutions brings deep expertise that aligns with our engineering-first approach. Our partnership with Infineon gives us access to advanced technologies that can help us improve key systems, from charging to safety and explore ways to reduce system complexity and cost. We're looking forward to seeing how this collaboration can help us push the boundaries, not just for our products, but for the larger EV ecosystem in India." 

As part of the agreement, both companies will jointly explore breakthroughs in sensing and safety features to enhance rider experience and vehicle performance. The effort will cover key areas such as energy efficiency, faster charging capabilities, and overall system reliability. These developments are expected to significantly improve the appeal and accessibility of electric two-wheelers for Indian consumers. 

Infineon, known globally for its semi-conductor innovations in the automotive sector, aims to bring its deep technical expertise to address India's unique mobility challenges. The joint initiative also aligns with India's broader goals of sustainable transportation and reduced carbon emissions.
