Exicom begins manufacturing India’s first liquid-cooled EV modules
Exicom Tele-Systems has started manufacturing liquid-cooled AC and DC power modules for EV chargers at its Hyderabad facility, claiming to be the first Indian company to produce such power electronics for global markets. The modules will initially be used in Tritium's DC charging portfolio, including its ultra-fast and flexible charging systems.
The company said liquid cooling addresses heat-related failures, with nearly 60% of power electronics failures linked to thermal stress. Liquid-cooled systems can keep internal temperatures around 10 degrees Celsius lower than air-cooled ones, and their sealed architecture protects components from dust and moisture. Exicom plans to incorporate the technology into its flagship Harmony DC chargers and expand exports to North America and Europe, while later serving domestic customers including charge point operators and OEMs.
The technology builds on the capabilities of Tritium, a global DC fast-charging company acquired by Exicom in 2024. Production is based at Exicom's recently inaugurated Hyderabad Smart Manufacturing Facility, which uses automation and digital traceability systems.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This marks a shift for India's EV charging ecosystem, which has relied on imported liquid-cooled modules for high-power chargers. Until now, Indian manufacturers primarily produced air-cooled systems that struggle above 60 kW. Exicom's move could reduce import dependence for a critical component and make India an export hub for advanced charging hardware. The key number to watch is the production capacity at the Hyderabad facility, which Exicom has not yet disclosed, as it will determine whether this remains a niche operation or a volume play that can lower costs for Indian charge point operators.
