BMW and Tata Technologies are establishing a joint venture for software and IT development. It is to be located in India, specifically in Pune, Bangalore, and Chennai. The companies want to base the majority of development activities in Bangalore and Pune. A project office for production IT is to be established in Chennai.

Under the motto "Engineer in India for the World", software is to be created at the locations, also for software-defined vehicles. In the field of automotive software, the focus will be on automated driving, infotainment, and digital services, according to a statement. With regards to corporate IT, the focus is on digitization and automation of product development, production, and sales.

In the joint venture, 100 experts from Tata Technologies are expected to start work later this year. BMW anticipates rapid growth of the joint venture and a four-digit number of employees in the following years, according to their own information. The relevant authorities still have to approve the agreement.

Software joint venture in Romania

In addition, BMW signed a joint venture contract with NTT Data Romania in early March: for an IT and software hub in Cluj-Napoca in the northwest of the country. The joint venture is supposed to provide development services for corporate IT in Europe. This includes software development for human resources, production, sales and financial services of the car manufacturer. The relevant authorities still need to approve this as well.
