The Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), S. Krishnan has inaugurated the Model Indigenous Electric Vehicle Charging Station at C-DAC Thiruvananthapuram, Technopark Campus on August 24, 2024. This centre will have various AC and DC fast chargers for vehicles ranging from 2W to heavy vehicles and play a crucial role in catalyzing an ecosystem for the promotion of the charging infrastructure with indigenous EV chargers research, development, commercialization and manufacturing through industries.
The secretary, MeitY has also inaugurated the Hardware Emulation Facility at C-DAC, Thiruvananthapuram for the Start-ups under the C2S programme and DLI Scheme of MeitY in the same day. This center will have development, testing, and validation of hardware designs, for VLSI and SoC technologies. This facility provides resources for emulating hardware designs on reconfigurable platforms like FPGAs.
Addressing the gathering, Krishnan said, “Creating intellectual property in India for use in industrial application is very important for making sure that India stays ahead. Government has target to introduce Electric Vehicle and Renewable Solutions in the country. Developing technologies and solutions in these areas will play a very important role to indigenize and make India self-sustainable.
C-DAC transferred a few recently developed technologies and signed some agreements in presence of the secretary, MeitY, including i) the transfer of technology of the high voltage high-frequency Planar magnetics technology, developed by C-DAC (T) and IISc, Bangalore, to M/s Reliamotive Labs, Bangalore; ii) MoU signed between C-DAC (T), and M/s L&T Semiconductor Technologies Limited for the development of VEGA processor-based SoC’s for various applications.
