Tata Elxsi and IIT Guwahati Sign MoU to Advance Research in Electric Mobility

Bangalore, India – Tata Elxsi Ltd, a leading global technology services provider for the Automotive and Transportation industry, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G) to jointly work on developing and commercializing state-of-the-art solutions for the Electric mobility market. The MoU was signed between Prof Parameswar K Iyer, Officiating Director, IIT Guwahati, and Manoj Raghavan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Tata Elxsi, in the presence of Prof Praveen Kumar, Dept of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, IIT Guwahati; Anil Radhakrishnan, Director Products; and Atul Kulkarni, Chief Technical Officer, Tata Elxsi.

This collaboration will bring together researchers and experts for advanced research in Material Science, Digital Twins, and Deep Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques. The collaboration between Tata Elxsi and IIT Guwahati will enable both collaborators to apply their research capabilities to real-world problems, such as advancing state-of-the-art predictive maintenance. One key area of work under this collaboration will be the digital analysis of electrical signature data for traction motors, which underpins EV mobility across segments, including Automotive and Rail. The solution will provide deep insights for proactive fault prediction, maintenance schedule formulation, and design and manufacturing defect traceability.

Stating that this collaboration will bring together the best minds from Tata Elxsi and IIT Guwahati to envisage and develop future-looking solutions for the fast-evolving space of electric mobility, Raghavan, said, “The fault analysis solution is an excellent example of how industry-academia collaboration can bring together original thinking and application of the latest digital technologies to solve very specific industry needs from operators, OEMs, and system suppliers in the transportation industry.”

Emphasizing that electric vehicles are increasingly considered the solution to carbon emissions from the transportation sector and that there is an essential need to create more future-ready solutions in the EV automotive and transportation industries, Prof Iyer added, “The shared knowledge between IIT Guwahati researchers and Tata Elxsi team will help in building a research ecosystem in this field, and its commitment to further strengthen the partnership going forward will help in achieving the Government of India’s mission of making our country ‘Atma Nirbhar’.”
