Tsuyo Manufacturing, an electric mobility company and e-mobility component manufacturer, has received clearance from the Government of Karnataka to establish an EV powertrain manufacturing and validation facility in the Hubli-Dharwad region. The project will be developed on a 20-acre site with an investment of INR 2.5 billion and will focus on integrated manufacturing and testing of EV powertrain systems.
The State-Level Single Window Clearance Committee granted approval for the project, allowing the company to proceed with the development of the facility. The company had earlier signed a Letter of Intent with the Government of Karnataka in November 2025 during the Bengaluru Tech Summit.
The proposed facility will develop, manufacture, and validate electric traction motors, motor controllers, power electronics, and drivetrain systems. It is designed to cater to multiple EV segments, including three-wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and industrial mobility applications.
“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,” said Vijay Kumar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tsuyo Manufacturing.
The project will be executed in two phases. Phase one will support powertrain platforms of up to 250 kW with voltage architectures up to 650 V, while phase two will expand capabilities to develop powertrains of up to 1,100 kW with high-voltage architectures reaching 850 V DC. The company stated that the facility will create over 500 jobs.
“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,” said Lalit Baid, Founder and Chief Operating Officer.
The facility will include integrated EV powertrain assembly lines, testing laboratories for power electronics and drivetrain systems, and a dedicated open test track for commercial-vehicle powertrain validation. The phased development is intended to support a range of applications from light mobility platforms to commercial vehicle powertrains.
Tsuyo Manufacturing develops electric mobility technologies and manufactures EV powertrain systems and components.
