JSW Motors and KPIT Technologies have entered a multi-year partnership to develop the software and digital infrastructure for JSW’s upcoming new energy vehicle portfolio. As per the reports, this includes systems for electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Manufacturing Plans and Investment

JSW Motors, part of the JSW Group, is investing $3 billion over the next 5 years in its automotive business. The company is building a 630-acre manufacturing hub in Bidkin, Maharashtra. Its first vehicle is expected to launch in the second half of FY26.
