Semiconductor

India is stepping into the semiconductor revolution, and one of the biggest beneficiaries of this transformation will be the automotive industry. From electric vehicles (EVs) to connected smart cars, semiconductors are the backbone of modern mobility. With the rise of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, Indian semiconductors are becoming a game-changer for the future of vehicles.

🔎 Why Semiconductors are Important in Vehicles

Semiconductors are the “brains” inside vehicles, enabling automation, safety, efficiency, and connectivity. Here’s where they are used:

Engine Control Units (ECUs): Control fuel efficiency, ignition, and emissions.
Power Electronics in EVs: Manage batteries, charging systems, and motor controllers.
Safety Systems: Airbags, ABS, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).
Infotainment & Connectivity: GPS navigation, 5G connectivity, and smart dashboards.
Energy Optimization: Helps reduce fuel consumption and improve performance.

⚡ How Indian Semiconductors Can Be Used in Vehicles

EV Powertrain & Battery Management
Indian chips can power Battery Management Systems (BMS), improve charging speed, and control electric motors for efficient EV performance.
Safety & Automation Systems
With ADAS and smart sensors, Indian semiconductors can power radar, LiDAR, and vision-based systems, improving road safety.
Infotainment & Connectivity
Locally developed chips can fuel touchscreen infotainment units, GPS systems, and connected car features.
Emission & Energy Control
Indian semiconductors can support compliance with BS6/Euro 6 norms, reducing pollution while improving mileage.
