JSW Motors Limited has announced a long-term strategic partnership with Dassault Systèmes to accelerate the development of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in India, marking a significant push into the country’s fast-evolving new energy vehicle (NEV) segment.

As part of the collaboration, JSW Motors will deploy Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform as its core digital backbone across design, engineering, and manufacturing operations. The move is aimed at streamlining product development, improving efficiency, and enabling faster time-to-market for future-ready vehicles.

The partnership will focus on building a modular and scalable vehicle architecture capable of supporting multiple NEV formats. Advanced applications such as CATIA and ENOVIA will be used to enhance flexibility in design and engineering, while DELMIA will integrate manufacturing processes to optimise resource utilisation and reduce the overall carbon footprint.
