Ansys Software Private Limited, a leading engineering simulation software company, has opened its newest high-performance computing (HPC) data centre, DC-3, at its Pune office. With this launch, Ansys Pune now operates three on-premises data centres equipped with advanced HPC cluster facilities.

The inauguration was done by Neeraj Mathur and Ulkesh Desai, President and Vice President of Space Society of Mechanical Engineers (SSME), SAC-ISRO. This facility is expected to enable advanced technical simulations, boost Ansys' computing capabilities and spur innovation while advancing India's technological development and Ansys' worldwide operations. It will also be crucial in bolstering the business's capacity to cater to clients in industries like healthcare, aerospace and automobiles.

Ansys' newest data centre, DC-3, expands its HPC infrastructure by complementing the existing DC-2 and DC-2, which are now running at full capacity with over 8,000 cores. It is designed to accommodate over 10,000 cores. An initial expenditure of over INR 200 million has been undertaken to install 1,700 cores. Future goals include increasing GPU capability to accommodate GPU simulations, which aligns with Ansys' intentional move of Fluent, their CFD program, to native GPU technology. The business has installed around 70 GPU cores to facilitate GPU simulations, with plans to extend this capability in future phases.

Neeraj Mathur, President, Space Society of Mechanical Engineers (SSME), SAC-ISRO, said, "HPC is at the core of present-day innovations, particularly in areas like aerospace and simulation-driven engineering. It is promising to see Ansys’ sustained investment in India’s HPC infrastructure, and it will play an important role in empowering engineers and researchers of the country to solve today’s increasingly complex engineering challenges. In addition, this will also enhance the country's technological advancement."

Ulkesh Desai, Vice President, Space Society of Mechanical Engineers (SSME), SAC-ISRO, said, "Focused on GPU technology, DC-3 is poised to push innovation while staying ahead of emerging technology trends. It will play a significant role in both driving groundbreaking innovation and aligning with today’s changing landscape of emerging technologies. This launch by Ansys also emphasises how the company is creating a platform for future exploration and discovery.

Mike Yeager, Area Vice President, India and Japan, Ansys, said, "The launch of DC-3 in Pune further highlights Ansys’ commitment to cultivating innovation through advanced, state-of-the-art technology. This expansion is not just about increasing computational power, but it is also about enabling Ansys’ teams and customers to push the boundaries of the possibilities in engineering simulation. We are also very excited to see how DC-3 will accelerate simulations, particularly with the integration of GPU technology, and empower our engineers to explore new frontiers in product development."

Murali Pullela, Director of Sales, Ansys, added, "Over the years, Ansys has always been dedicated to empowering our customers with cutting-edge simulation technology. The DC-3 launch in Pune will further this by leveraging the immense capabilities of GPU technology as it will enable faster, more accurate simulations. This launch highlights Ansys’ pledge to deliver the best-in-class solutions.”

Enmovil Solutions has formed a partnership with Tangentia to provide supply chain orchestration software to manufacturing and automotive enterprises in Canada. The agreement was formalised during the Team Canada Trade Mission to India in October 2026, led by Canada's Minister of International Trade, Maninder Sidhu, which resulted in 34 agreements valued at nearly CAD 300 million.

Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will combine Enmovil's CADDIE supply chain platform with Tangentia's integration and Agentic AI systems. Tangentia will manage go-to-market operations, deployment and customer support in Canada, targeting manufacturers, automotive original equipment manufacturers, electric vehicle and battery producers, defence contractors and supplier networks. Enmovil's platform manages demand, inventory, production, and logistics planning for clients including Maruti Suzuki India, Mahindra & Mahindra, TVS Motor Co, Daimler, Nestle, Hero MotoCorp, Indus Towers and Ashok Leyland.

Ravi Bulusu, Co-Founder and CEO, Enmovil, said, “Canada is a natural next step in Enmovil’s global expansion. Its manufacturing and automotive sectors run on complex, tightly connected supply chains, where faster and better-coordinated decisions translate directly into cost and service outcomes. By combining CADDIE, Industry’s leading Agentic supply chain decisioning and orchestration platform, with Tangentia’s solutions and local expertise, we can offer Canadian enterprises a joint solution that helps them make faster, better-informed supply chain decisions. We look forward to working with Tangentia to bring this to more businesses in Canada.”

Vijay Thomas, CEO, Tangentia, said, “Canadian manufacturers, Retailers and Distributors are under growing pressure to build supply chains that are more resilient and responsive. CADDIE, Enmovil’s supply chain decisioning and orchestration platform, has proven itself at scale with some of the largest manufacturing and automotive companies in India, and it complements Tangentia’s strengths in Supply Chain, EDI, integration and Agentic AI. Together, we can offer our customers a combined solution and a practical path to AI-driven supply chain decisions. This partnership is also a strong example of the growing technology ties between Canada and India.”

Visteon Corporation and SHINRY Technologies, operating through their joint venture Visteon-Shinry Power Electronics (VSPE), have partnered with Infineon Technologies to develop a single-stage onboard charger for electric vehicles. The announcement was made during the Electronica Trade fair in Munich.

The system combines VSPE's converter hardware topology and control strategy with Infineon's gallium nitride (GaN) monolithic bidirectional switches (BDS). The single-stage architecture consolidates power conversion functions and removes the bulk capacitors used in two-stage onboard chargers to reduce component count, system dimensions, and costs.

The unit supports 22 kW three-phase and 19.2 kW single-phase AC charging alongside vehicle-to-everything (V2X) bidirectional operation. Infineon's GaN BDS devices integrate bidirectional voltage blocking and current conduction into a single semiconductor unit, lowering component requirements in the power stage and shrinking the dimensions of magnetic components through switching frequency operation.

Zilai Zhao, Co-General Manager at Visteon-Shinry Power Electronics, said, “This collaboration brings together complementary strengths in vehicle electronics, power conversion and advanced semiconductors. By combining Visteon’s system expertise and Infineon’s GaN leadership, we’re delivering a transformative solution for next-generation EV platforms.”

Mark Sun, CTO, SHINRY, said, "Integrating Infineon's GaN switches with our proprietary single-stage topology is a game-changer for power density and system cost. Our R&D team is fully committed to validating this innovative architecture to meet the rigorous reliability standards of global automotive customers."

Benoit Rousseau, Vice-President of GaN Automotive, Infineon, said, “Together with Visteon-Shinry Power Electronics we are pushing the boundaries of onboard charging for the next generation of electric vehicles. Our GaN bidirectional switch, recognised as a ‘Global New Energy Vehicle Innovative Technology’ at the 2026 World New Energy Vehicle Congress, combines leading-edge switching performance and efficiency with a new level of semiconductor integration, enabling new power conversion architectures.”
