Exicom makes India’s 1st liquid-cooled EV modules

Exicom Tele-Systems has announced the commencement of manufacturing liquid-cooled AC and DC power modules for EV chargers at its Hyderabad facility. This marks the first time a company in India has produced this category of power electronics for global markets. The new modules will initially be utilized in Tritium's DC charging portfolio, which includes the TRI-FLEX ultra-fast DC chargers and DC-FLEX charging systems.

The decision to opt for liquid cooling was driven by the need to address thermal stress, which accounts for nearly 60% of power electronics failures. Liquid-cooled systems are more efficient in heat transfer and can maintain internal temperatures about 10°C lower than air-cooled systems, thus protecting components from dust, moisture, and salt air.

Exicom plans to expand the use of this technology across its EV charging products for Charge Point Operators, fleets, and OEMs in India. Further, the company intends to integrate this cooling architecture into its Harmony DC chargers, potentially paving the way for a new line of power electronics exports from India. The technology leverages Tritium's existing liquid-cooled capabilities, which Exicom acquired in 2024.

CEO Anant Nahata emphasized the importance of local manufacturing and the ability to engineer, improve, and adapt the technology faster for customers in India and worldwide. The Hyderabad Smart Manufacturing Facility, which recently opened, will handle the production of these modules, supporting both domestic and international markets.
