Today, the automobile industry is gradually moving towards a sustainable energy landscape, where the development of electric vehicles (EVs) has emerged as one of its significant steps. Central to the evolution and success of EVs are novel electronic technologies. With features ranging from safety and entertainment systems to fuel efficiency and economical driving, electronics remain the backbone of the EV market, especially in countries like India.
The Indian EV industry is experiencing a revolutionary transformation, redefining the country’s transportation environment. The industry has enormous potential to drive change, provide a better and more sustainable future for the country and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change and create cleaner, healthier cities. According to a Fortune Business Insights report, the Indian EV market is expected to rise from USD 23.38 billion in 2024 to USD 117.78 billion by 2032, owing to growing customer interest in electric vehicles. Furthermore, the nation seeks to become the third-largest automobile sector by 2030, with EV demand increasing dramatically and technological improvements playing a significant role.
The Rise of Automotive Electronics in India
Electronics is pivotal to India’s automotive sector and will remain so as electric vehicles gain popularity. The Indian automotive industry is no longer reliant on traditional manufacturing or mechanical engineering but rather embraces the digital revolution that is redefining transportation in terms of shared, connected and smart mobility. This evolution is propelled by the increasing integration of cutting-edge technologies to enhance the safety, user experience and efficiency of vehicles.
With continuous technological developments in the automobile sector, the demand for automotive electronics is on the rise. They are used in numerous vehicle applications like active and passive safety, body electronics, infotainment and intelligent driver support systems, contributing to their rapid market expansion in India.
In addition, the Indian government is undertaking extraordinary efforts to accelerate the adoption of EVs in the country. This is supported by initiatives like the e-vehicle subsidy under the central government’s national FAME-II scheme, whereas individual states have also rolled out different policies to assist EVs become an increasingly popular option. With the right initiatives and the development of proper infrastructure, the nation’s EV ecosystem is poised for growth, which, in turn, can contribute to the rise of automotive electronics in India.
Key Technological Aspects Driving EVs
Various cutting-edge technologies are primarily intended to improve the efficiency, functionality, and control of electric vehicle gear and associated motors. Here’s a look at some of the emerging trends contributing to the development of electric vehicles:
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM): These devices have high levels of power density and efficiency because they employ magnets to produce an electromagnetic field in the rotor. In addition, torque and speed are controlled by vector algorithms and other sophisticated automation methods.
Advanced Control Techniques: Some of the advanced management techniques, like model predictive and fuzzy logic, are used to improve the performance of EVs. These solutions help in increasing efficiency, reaction time and fault tolerance.
Digital Infotainment Systems: Connectivity is an important characteristic of EVs since the lack of an engine enables automobile companies to provide new selling points. Many modern vehicles are designed for digitally informed drivers since they support other electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, etc.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): This is a set of advanced features comprising sensors and controllers that can enhance the comfort and safety of drivers by detecting the presence of pedestrians and other vehicles in the vicinity. Real-time recommendations, such as parking help and emergency braking, are also made possible with this data.
The aforementioned trends are not just the drivers of innovation; they have the potential to transform the EV industry by developing more user-friendly features and solutions.
Looking Ahead
The role of electronics is intrinsic to the progression of the automotive industry towards a future of smart, sustainable, and networked mobility. As technology advances, additional improvements in EV safety, economy and overall driving experience are expected. Moreover, the incorporation of electronics into autos not only demonstrates the industry’s dedication to growth but also promises safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation options in the future.
