Tsuyo has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Government of Karnataka for establishing a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant along with large Testing Track for commercial vehicles in the state at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025. The letter was signed in the presence of Priyank Kharge, Minister for Rural Development & Panchayat Raj, IT & Biotechnology, Government of Karnataka; senior officials from the Government of Karnataka; Lalit L Baid, Director, Tsuyo Manufacturing; and organising representatives from MM Activ Sci-Tech Communications.
Tsuyo’s upcoming manufacturing facility is aimed at building the next generation of advanced, heavy-duty EV powertrain systems for commercial mobility and industrial applications. The proposed facility will focus on developing and producing electric motors (across IPMSM, ACIM, SRM, SynRM & Axial Flux topologies); e-drives; e-axles and Automatic Transmissions (AT); integrated 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 powertrain solutions; complete powertrain assemblies for heavy commercial EVs and a dedicated testing track for field testing and validation of buses, trucks, mining vehicles, and other heavy-duty EVs.
The new plant will support manufacturing capacities ranging from 0.5 kW to 250 kW, with an extended capability up to 600 kW through Tsuyo’s strategic partnerships with CETL and LvKON.
Vijay Kumar, Founder and CEO, Tsuyo Manufacturing, commented, “This LOI marks a pivotal moment for Tsuyo and for the future of India’s EV ecosystem. Karnataka has always been at the forefront of innovation and advanced manufacturing, and we are proud to partner with the state to establish a facility that will redefine powertrain excellence for heavy commercial electric vehicles. With this investment, we aim to deliver world-class, reliable, and locally manufactured powertrain solutions that will power India’s transition to sustainable mobility.”
This initiative marks a major boost to domestic manufacturing by enabling India to produce high-performance EV powertrain systems locally, reducing dependence on imports and strengthening supply chain resilience. With capabilities spanning motors, e-axles, automatic transmissions, and integrated solutions, the upcoming facility is set to accelerate the growth of the heavy commercial EV ecosystem, supporting India’s expanding bus, truck, mining, and industrial vehicle markets. The project is also expected to generate significant direct and indirect employment, contributing to Karnataka’s broader industrial development goals. Additionally, the integrated testing and validation track will drive innovation in future mobility by enabling faster development of powertrain technologies suited to India’s diverse terrains and operating conditions.
Speaking on the LOI signed between the Government of Karnataka and Tsuyo Manufacturing, Priyank Kharge, Minister for Rural Development & Panchayat Raj, IT & Biotechnology, Government of Karnataka, said, “We are delighted that Tsuyo Manufacturing has decided to expand its Operations in Dharwad, Karnataka. Their decision reinforces our commitment to building a strong, local economy through LEAP (Local Economy Accelerator Program). This project will help building a sustainable ecosystem in the state and will attract more EV companies to come to our state - which is known for its Industry friendly policies and a dynamic EV ecosystem. This investment will not only create high-quality jobs in North Karnataka but also accelerate innovation and green mobility solutions for Karnataka and beyond.”
