May 30, 2025 | InfineonEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ather Energy, a leading electric two-wheeler manufacturer in India and Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, a global leader in semiconductor solutions, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Seoul, South Korea, to jointly drive innovation in the electric vehicle (EV) industry in India. The collaboration focuses on advancing semiconductor technologies to support light electric vehicles (LEVs), charging infrastructure, and safety, with a shared vision to contribute to India’s growing EV ecosystem.
The partnership aims to leverage cutting-edge semiconductor solutions from Infineon based on various technologies, microcontrollers and automotive related sensors, alongside Ather’s expertise in designing state-of-the-art LEVs (Light Electric Vehicles). Together, the companies will work towards enabling more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective EV solutions, driving the adoption of electric two-wheelers in India.
Speaking on the occasion, 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 semiconductor innovation becomes critical. Infineon’s leadership in semiconductors 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.”
Highlighting the importance of this partnership, Peter Schaefer, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer Automotive at Infineon, said: “India is one of the fastest-growing EV markets globally, and electric two-wheelers are at the heart of this transformation. We are thrilled to partner with Ather Energy to enable the next generation of sustainable mobility solutions. Our advanced SiC and GaN technologies will help drive energy-efficient and high-performance electric vehicles. This partnership will foster innovation that contributes meaningfully to India’s ambitious objective to reach a 30 percent sales share for EVs by 2030.”
This collaboration will explore sensing and safety innovations to elevate vehicle safety and user experience. These solutions deliver significant advantages in terms of energy efficiency, charging speed, and overall system reliability, making EVs more accessible, sustainable, convenient and appealing to consumers.
