- Exicom opened a ₹216 crore power electronics manufacturing plant in Hyderabad to expand EV charger production capacity.
- The facility integrates Industry 4.0 manufacturing and aims to host India's first EV charger interoperability testing centre.
Exicom Tele-Systems Limited has inaugurated a large-scale manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, strengthening India’s domestic capabilities in power electronics and EV charging technology. The new campus represents an investment of ₹216 crore and spans approximately 2,80,000 square feet across 18.4 acres. Designed to support rapid growth in the electric mobility ecosystem, the facility is expected to generate more than 750 jobs. Industry stakeholders from telecom and electric vehicle sectors attended the inauguration, highlighting the growing convergence between digital infrastructure and electric mobility development across India.
Advanced Power Electronics Production Hub
The Exicom EV charger manufacturing facility Hyderabad has been designed to produce a wide range of products including EV charging systems, lithium-ion battery solutions, and critical power electronics required for telecom networks and digital infrastructure. These technologies serve multiple end markets that require reliable and continuous power supply, such as data centres, communication networks, and electric vehicle charging networks. According to the company, the plant immediately increases overall production capacity by approximately 2.5 times during the first operational phase. Infrastructure within the facility has also been planned with future expansion capability to accommodate growing domestic and international demand.
Industry 4.0 Manufacturing and Testing Infrastructure
The plant incorporates advanced Industry 4.0 manufacturing practices, combining automation, robotics, and digital production monitoring systems to ensure consistent quality and scalable operations. A dedicated ISO 8 cleanroom environment has been established to support high-precision assembly of advanced power electronics modules. In addition to automated production lines, the facility features specialised testing laboratories capable of evaluating system performance under simulated real-world conditions. These capabilities are intended to strengthen reliability validation processes and accelerate product development cycles across EV charging technologies.
EV Charger Interoperability Testing Initiative
One of the most notable components of the facility is the planned establishment of what the company describes as India's first EV charger interoperability testing centre. The objective of this initiative is to ensure seamless compatibility between charging infrastructure and electric vehicles from different manufacturers. By validating communication protocols and charging standards across vehicle platforms, the centre aims to reduce integration challenges within the charging ecosystem. The Hyderabad site will also produce Tritium’s TRI-FLEX liquid-cooled power modules, bringing globally developed EV charging hardware into domestic manufacturing.
Global Quality Certifications and Compliance
The facility has been designed to meet multiple internationally recognised quality and operational standards. Certifications obtained include IATF 16949 for automotive quality management systems, ISO 9001:2015 for general quality management practices, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management, and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety compliance. These certifications support the company’s strategy of positioning its products for both domestic deployment and export markets. By aligning with global manufacturing benchmarks, the facility aims to compete in international EV charging infrastructure supply chains.
Sustainable Manufacturing Campus
Environmental sustainability has been integrated into the design and operations of the Hyderabad campus. A rooftop solar installation with a capacity of 1 MW has been deployed to offset a portion of the facility’s electricity requirements. Approximately 40 percent of the campus area has been allocated to green landscaping, contributing to environmental balance and temperature regulation. The site also incorporates rainwater harvesting infrastructure and a dedicated sewage treatment plant to support efficient water management. The facility has been built in alignment with Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) certification requirements.
Role in Expanding India’s EV Infrastructure
Exicom operates across the entire electric vehicle charger value chain, covering both AC and DC charging solutions for various vehicle segments. The company has delivered more than 1,33,000 chargers globally and maintains a commercial presence across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Its critical power division additionally provides energy solutions for telecom infrastructure. As India’s electric mobility ecosystem expands, domestic charger manufacturing capacity is becoming increasingly important to support infrastructure deployment and reduce reliance on imported equipment.
Policy Momentum Driving Charger Demand
India’s electric vehicle market has accelerated in recent years through government initiatives such as the PM E-DRIVE programme and FAME subsidy schemes. These policies encourage EV adoption across two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial vehicle segments. However, charging infrastructure availability remains one of the major constraints limiting wider adoption. Investments in local charger production facilities therefore play a crucial role in scaling public charging networks. Developments such as this manufacturing expansion contribute to strengthening the country’s power electronics ecosystem and enabling faster electrification of transportation systems.
