JSW Motors Partners with AWS to Keep Connected-Car Data Within India
JSW Motors, the passenger vehicle division of the JSW Group, has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host its connected-car platform on servers located in India, ensuring that vehicle-generated data remains within the country.
Under the partnership, information generated by connected vehicles, including driving patterns, location details and in-car camera recordings, will be stored on infrastructure based in India. JSW Motors said the data will remain under its ownership and control, with access and management governed by the company's security policies and applicable Indian regulations.
The framework will comply with relevant legislation, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. The move comes as connected vehicles increasingly generate large volumes of information related to driver behaviour, vehicle usage and real-time positioning.
The initiative will also involve Indian technology and telecommunications partners. Tata Elxsi will support the localisation of the telematics control unit (T-Box), a key component that enables communication between vehicles and cloud-based systems. Meanwhile, Bharti Airtel will provide the network infrastructure required to support vehicle connectivity.
As connected-car technologies become increasingly important in the automotive industry, the collaboration highlights the growing focus on data localisation and digital infrastructure among automakers operating in India
The partnership marks a step in the company's preparations for its entry into India's passenger vehicle market. JSW Motors is gearing up to launch its first passenger vehicle, which will be manufactured at its production facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra.
