For the first time, Indian OEMs can place large orders with TI in local currency, eliminating the need for foreign exchange hedging.
The bulk of the announcement came alongside more than twenty live tech demos at electronica India 2026, where TI showcased a 3‑D car wireframe featuring an SDV central compute capable of OTA firmware updates, zone‑control modules, real‑time wheel‑speed tracking, a 48‑V wiper assembly, and a GaN‑enabled 48‑V audio amplifier.
These components sit squarely in the same ecosystem that Infineon, NXP, and Qualcomm are chasing, but TI’s GaN implementation offers higher efficiency and lower heat for the same power envelope.
Under the new rupee payment channel, delivery terms have been revised to 4‑6 weeks from order, and the price‑breakdown is now published in rupees, giving engineers a transparent cost model.
If you’re eyeing a next‑generation commercial vehicle or a software‑defined car, TI’s lineup should be on your parts list. Expect the first batch to roll out to major OEMs in Bengaluru and Mumbai by Q3 2026, with a broader rollout across India by year‑end.
