Product Launch Details

Exicom Tele-Systems Limited announced the start of manufacturing for advanced liquid-cooled AC and DC power modules at its Hyderabad Smart Manufacturing Facility. This makes Exicom the first company in India to produce this class of liquid-cooled power electronics for global markets.

Technology Advantages

The liquid cooling technology addresses thermal stress issues in EV charging, where reliability studies attribute nearly 60% of power electronics failures to thermal stress. The technology features:

  • Liquid coolant absorbs and transfers heat more effectively than air-cooled systems
  • Maintains internal temperatures approximately 10°C lower than air-cooled systems
  • Fully sealed design protects against dust, moisture, and salt air
  • Enables continuous operation at high loads
  • Reduces operating costs over the product lifetime
  • More compact footprint with higher power density

Manufacturing and Production Plans

Production is based at Exicom's recently inaugurated Hyderabad Smart Manufacturing Facility, which features:

  • Advanced automation
  • Digital traceability
  • Specialized testing capabilities

Initial production will primarily serve North America and Europe, supporting Tritium's DC charger portfolio including:

  • TRI-FLEX™ ultra-fast DC chargers
  • DC-FLEX™ charging systems

Subsequent phases will bring this technology to Exicom's customers including Charge Point Operators, Fleets, and OEMs with Tritium's range of DC fast chargers being deployed in India.

Strategic Implications

This development:

  • Strengthens Exicom's push to make India a global base for technology-forward manufacturing
  • Marks an important step in Exicom's long-term product roadmap
  • Broadens opportunities for high-value exports
  • Strengthens the company's differentiation as a design-led manufacturer
  • Deepens integration with Tritium (the global DC fast charging company Exicom acquired in 2024)
  • Enables technology and manufacturing synergies between Exicom and Tritium

Over time, liquid-cooled architecture will be designed into Exicom's flagship Harmony DC chargers, opening a new line of high-value power electronics exports from India.

Management Commentary

Anant Nahata, CEO and Managing Director of Exicom, commented: "Anyone who has stood next to a fast charger on a 45-degree afternoon knows what heat does to electronics. EV Charging is getting faster with chargers running more hours a day, and customers expect them to work every season and at every site. Globally, liquid cooling has become the architecture of choice for high-power charging. We are bringing this technology to India. Local manufacturing matters because we now own more of that technology ourselves. We can engineer it, improve it and adapt it faster, for our customers here and across the world."
