The products will be applicable for both passenger and commercial vehicles in the Indian market. The products in question include Charging Control Unit (CCU), EV inverter, EV motors and next-generation 3-in-1 electric drive systems.
"This partnership will significantly expand Uno Minda's electric four-wheeler portfolio, enabling them to effectively cater to the growing Indian EV market," the statement from Uno Minda said.
Uno Minda also intends to strengthen this partnership further by transitioning this deal into a Joint Venture, but that is subject to necessary approvals.
