Bosch has introduced its third-generation Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductor technology in India, reinforcing its commitment to advancing electric mobility and supporting the country’s growing automotive ecosystem. The latest generation of SiC chips delivers significantly higher performance, enabling electric vehicle manufacturers to improve efficiency, extend driving range, and optimize battery utilization.
As India’s electric mobility market continues to evolve from adoption to large-scale deployment, vehicle manufacturers are increasingly seeking technologies that enhance performance while reducing ownership costs. Bosch’s new SiC semiconductors are designed to address these priorities by improving energy conversion efficiency within electric powertrains.
SiC semiconductors play a critical role in power electronics systems, particularly within vehicle inverters that manage energy transfer between the battery and electric motor. By reducing energy losses and improving power management, the technology enables vehicles to travel longer distances without increasing battery size, resulting in greater efficiency and lower operating costs.
The third-generation SiC platform offers approximately 20 percent higher performance compared to earlier technologies. Bosch believes this advancement will help manufacturers develop more capable electric vehicles while maintaining affordability across a wider range of market segments.
Sandeep Nelamangala, Joint Managing Director of Bosch Limited and President of Bosch Mobility India, said the new technology has been developed to deliver practical benefits that consumers increasingly expect from electric vehicles. According to him, improvements in driving range, charging efficiency, and overall operating economics are essential for accelerating EV adoption in India.
Bosch enters the Indian market with substantial global experience in semiconductor development and production. The company has already delivered more than 60 million SiC chips worldwide and continues to invest heavily in expanding its semiconductor capabilities. These investments support innovation, strengthen supply chain resilience, and ensure readiness for future mobility requirements.
Markus Heyn, Member of the Bosch Board of Management and Chairman of Bosch Mobility, said the company aims to strengthen its position as a leading supplier of SiC semiconductors globally. He noted that the latest generation of chips enables customers to develop more efficient and higher-performing electric vehicles.
The technology also supports compact power electronics designs by reducing heat generation, lowering cooling requirements, and simplifying overall system architecture. These benefits contribute to lower manufacturing costs and improved scalability, making advanced power electronics more accessible for both premium and mass-market vehicle segments.
With the introduction of its latest SiC technology, Bosch continues to support India’s ambitions in sustainable mobility, localization, and advanced manufacturing while helping create a more efficient and competitive electric vehicle ecosystem. Bosch has maintained a strong presence in India since 1951 and operates across multiple sectors, including mobility, industrial technology, consumer goods, and energy solutions. With a wide network of manufacturing and development facilities, the company continues to play a key role in advancing next-generation mobility and technology solutions in the region.
