Quick Takeaways
- Bosch has strengthened India’s EV ecosystem by localizing integrated on-board power electronics manufacturing to support OEM electrification programs.
- The new CharCON assembly line enhances supply-chain resilience, cost competitiveness, and technical collaboration for India-made electric vehicles.
On December 17, Bosch Mobility strengthened EV power electronics in India by commissioning a new CharCON assembly line at its Naganathapura manufacturing facility near Bengaluru. The expansion adds localized capacity for critical on-board power electronics, aligning with India’s accelerating electric vehicle adoption and OEM demand for reliable, domestically manufactured components.
Localized EV power electronics in India to support OEM programs
The newly inaugurated line is designed to directly support Indian OEM electrification programs, including Mahindra’s expanding EV portfolio. By producing CharCON units locally, Bosch aims to shorten supply chains, improve responsiveness to OEM requirements, and enhance cost competitiveness for electric vehicle platforms developed and manufactured in India.
CharCON integrates multiple EV power functions
CharCON is a highly integrated on-board power supply solution that combines key charging and power conversion functions into a compact unit. This integration helps OEMs simplify vehicle architectures while improving energy efficiency and packaging flexibility, both of which are critical for next-generation electric vehicles.
Key capabilities of the CharCON solution include:
Manufacturing focus aligned with electrification and sustainability
The Naganathapura assembly line reflects Bosch’s broader strategy to localize advanced EV power electronics in India while supporting national electrification and sustainability goals. Local production reduces logistics-related emissions and enables closer collaboration with OEM engineering teams during vehicle development and validation stages.
By expanding domestic manufacturing of integrated power electronics, Bosch positions itself to play a larger role in India’s evolving EV ecosystem, where demand for scalable, efficient, and locally supported technologies continues to rise.
