STMicroelectronics, Aligarh University tie up to develop wireless chargers for EVs

French multinational STMicroelectronics has tied up with Aligarh Muslim University to jointly develop technology for solar-powered, wireless charging stations in India, it is learnt. STMicroelectronics, a global electronics and semiconductor player, has presence in India, too.

Sources told BusinessLine that the multinational has a “financial commitment”, but did give more details. Both STMicroelectronics and AMU will bring parts of their home-grown technologies to the projects, but it is not yet clear as to what each will contribute.

‘Imprint’ initiative

The project is under the Imprint-2 initiative of the Department of Science and Technology. The first phase of Imprint (Impact Research Innovation and Technology) began in 2015.
