Tsuyo Manufacturing Pvt Ltd has received Single Window Clearance from the Government of Karnataka to establish an EV powertrain manufacturing and validation facility in the Hubli-Dharwad region. The approval was granted by the State-Level Single Window Clearance Committee, allowing the company to move ahead with the project. The company had earlier signed a Letter of Intent with the state government during the Bengaluru Tech Summit in November 2025.
Investment and Facility Details
The project involves an investment of Rs 250 crore and will be developed on a 20-acre site. The facility will focus on the development, manufacturing, and validation of EV powertrain systems.
Planned operations at the site include production of electric traction motors, motor controllers, power electronics and drivetrain systems. The facility is expected to support different types of electric vehicles.
Manufacturing and Testing Infrastructure
The proposed site will include both manufacturing and testing infrastructure. It will have assembly lines for EV powertrains and laboratories for testing power electronics and drivetrain systems. A test track is also planned at the site for validating powertrain systems, particularly for commercial vehicles.
Target Segments
The facility is expected to cater to multiple EV segments, including:
- Three-wheelers
- Passenger vehicles
- Commercial vehicles
- Industrial mobility applications
The development will follow a phased approach to support different categories of electric mobility.
Employment and Supply Chain Impact
The project is expected to generate more than 500 engineering and technical jobs over the next three years. It will also contribute to the development of local capabilities in electric motor design, power electronics, and drivetrain systems. The initiative is likely to support the growth of a domestic EV component supply chain.
State Support and Ecosystem
The project has received support from state agencies such as Invest Karnataka, Karnataka Udyog Mitra, Karnataka Digital Economy Mission, and the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board. The facility is part of ongoing efforts to expand EV manufacturing and technology development in India.
Vijay Kumar, Founder & CEO, said, “The Hubli–Dharwad facility will be a significant breakthrough in Tsuyo’s mission to build a globally competitive EV powertrain ecosystem from India. With advanced manufacturing, integrated validation infrastructure, and system-level engineering capabilities, this investment will enable us to deliver high-power, high-voltage electric powertrain solutions for both domestic and international markets. Our focus is to develop and manufacture complete electric powertrain systems with world-class engineering and validation capabilities. The new facility will allow Tsuyo to accelerate innovation in motors, power electronics, and integrated drivetrain solutions while meeting the reliability and performance standards required by Indian as well as global OEMs.”
Lalit Baid, Founder & Chief Operating Officer, shared further details, stating,“The facility will be developed in two phases to progressively scale our integrated EV powertrain technology capabilities. Phase 1 will support powertrain platforms of up to 250 kW with voltage architectures up to 650V, while Phase 2 will expand our capabilities to develop powertrains of up to 1100 kW with high-voltage architectures reaching 850V DC. Importantly, the project will also create over 500 jobs, reinforcing our pledge to building advanced EV technologies and strengthening India’s domestic electric mobility ecosystem.”
Vikas Verma, Partner Avaana Capital said, “From the outset, what stood out to us about Tsuyo was the team’s rare combination of deep engineering capability, product innovation, disciplined execution, and focus on localized manufacturing to build globally competitive EV powertrain technologies from India. The approval of this facility is a testament to Tsuyo’s rapid progress and its strong trajectory in scaling both manufacturing and technological capabilities. Their continued progress in building advanced EV powertrain solutions in India is closely aligned with our conviction in the long-term potential of the country’s electric mobility ecosystem.”
