Tsuyo wins approval from Karnataka government for ₹250 crore EV powertrain facility in Hubli-Dharwad.

Published:

TSUYO Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd., a deep-tech electric mobility company and a leading player in India’s e-mobility components sector, has received single window clearance from the Government of Karnataka to set up a ₹250 crore EV powertrain manufacturing and verification facility.

The upcoming 20-acre facility in the Hubli-Dharwad region is an important step towards strengthening India’s domestic electric mobility component ecosystem.

Focusing on delivering next generation system solutions through integrated hardware and software platforms, Tsuyo is playing a key role in driving the electric mobility landscape in India.

The State Level Single Window Clearance Committee of the Government of Karnataka has granted approval, allowing the company to proceed with the development of the integrated manufacturing and testing complex. Tsuyo Manufacturing had earlier signed a letter of intent (LOI) with the Karnataka government during the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025 in November 2025.

The proposed facility involves an investment of ₹250 crore and will focus on development, manufacturing and validation of advanced EV powertrain technologies. The facility will include integrated facilities for electric traction motors, motor controllers, power electronics and drivetrain systems, designed to support multiple EV mobility segments.

Commenting on the approval and plans, Founder and CEO, Vijay Kumar 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 verification 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 deliver complete electric powertrain systems with world-class engineering and verification. 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 and global OEMs.

Sharing more details, Lalit Baid, Founder and Chief Operating Officer, said, “The facility will be developed in two phases to progressively enhance our integrated EV powertrain technology capabilities. Phase 1 will support powertrain platforms up to 250 kW with voltage architectures up to 650V, while Phase 2 will expand our capabilities to develop powertrains up to 1100 kW with high voltage architectures reaching up to 850V DC. Important The point is that the project will also create 500 jobs, reinforcing our pledge to build advanced EV technologies and strengthen India’s domestic electric mobility ecosystem.

The phased approach will enable Tsuyo to support a broad spectrum of electric mobility applications, from light mobility platforms to high-performance commercial vehicle powertrains.

Commenting on the development, Vikas Verma, Partner at Awana Capital, said, “From the very beginning, what stood out to us about Tsuyo was the rare combination of the team’s deep engineering capability, product innovation, disciplined execution and a focus on local manufacturing to build globally competitive EV powertrain technologies from India. The approval of this facility is a testament to Tsuyo’s rapid growth and its strong trajectory in enhancing both manufacturing and technological capabilities for advanced EVs. Their continued progress in manufacturing powertrain solutions is closely aligned with our strong belief in the long-term potential of India’s electric mobility ecosystem.

The upcoming facility is designed as a fully integrated powertrain development ecosystem, combining manufacturing infrastructure with advanced testing and validation capabilities. Key features of the facility will include integrated EV powertrain assembly lines, advanced power electronics and drivetrain testing laboratories, and a dedicated open test track for commercial-vehicle powertrain validation.

The facility will serve multiple EV segments including 3-wheeler, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and industrial mobility applications.

The project is expected to create more than 500 engineering and technical jobs over the next three years, creating specialist expertise in electric motor design, power electronics engineering and drivetrain systems development. The initiative is also expected to contribute to the development of the local EV component supply chain while supporting India’s broader manufacturing and electrification goals.

The project has received support and facilitation from key state ecosystem partners, including Invest Karnataka, Karnataka Udyog Mitra, Karnataka Digital Economy Mission and Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board. The initiative fits with broader policy efforts to strengthen India’s EV manufacturing ecosystem and accelerate domestic innovation in electric mobility technologies.
