Exicom starts liquid-cooled EV charger module production in Hyderabad
Exicom Tele-Systems has begun manufacturing liquid-cooled AC and DC charger power modules at its Hyderabad plant, initially supplying Tritium products for North America and Europe before deploying the technology across its India EV-charging portfolio.
What happened
Exicom Tele-Systems · Exicom has begun making liquid-cooled AC and DC EV-charger power modules at its Hyderabad plant, initially for Tritium products exported
Key facts
- 60% of power-electronics failures linked to thermal stress
- A 10°C-15°C temperature rise can double component failure rates
- Liquid cooling can keep internal temperatures around 10°C lower
- Tritium was acquired by Exicom in 2024
Why this matters
Exicom’s new liquid-cooling capability strengthens its strategic value to charging-network operators, fleet-electrification players and global OEMs seeking India-based supply-chain partners.
What to watch
- Named Tritium purchase volumes, contract duration and whether the relationship expands beyond initial products.
- Hyderabad plant capacity, utilisation, capex plans and stated share of modules allocated to India versus exports.
- Orders for 150 kW-plus chargers from fleet depots, highway operators, e-bus agencies and OEM dealership networks.
- Reported charger uptime, failure-rate and maintenance-cost comparisons for liquid-cooled versus conventional systems in Indian conditions.
- Indian policy incentives, localisation requirements or public-tender specifications favouring domestic charger components.
- Evidence of competing domestic production by Delta, ABB, Siemens, Servotech, Statiq-linked suppliers or Chinese charger manufacturers.
- Expand liquid-cooled module capacity beyond Tritium-linked output and announce modules designed specifically for Indian 150 kW-plus charging deployments.
- Pursue long-term supply, maintenance and uptime-guarantee contracts with bus, truck, logistics and passenger-EV fleet operators.
- Seek charger certifications and export customer qualifications in North America and Europe using the Tritium supply relationship as validation.
- Bundle liquid-cooled DC chargers with remote monitoring, predictive maintenance and service networks to monetise reliability rather than hardware alone.
- Localise adjacent components and secure domestic supplier agreements for thermal materials, enclosures, power semiconductors and control systems.
