Tsuyo Manufacturing has recently signed a Letter of Intent with the Government of Karnataka to set up an advanced EV powertrain manufacturing facility and a dedicated testing track for commercial vehicles. The agreement was formalised at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025 in the presence of senior state officials and company leadership.

The proposed plant will produce a wide range of powertrain solutions, including electric motors across multiple topologies, e-drives, e-axles, automatic transmissions, integrated systems, and complete powertrain assemblies for heavy commercial EVs. It will also feature a large track for field testing of buses, trucks, mining vehicles and other industrial EVs. Production capacity will span 0.5 kW to 250 kW, expandable to 600 kW through partnerships with CETL and LvKON.

The initiative is expected to strengthen domestic manufacturing, reduce import reliance, and support India’s fast-growing commercial EV ecosystem. It will also generate significant employment while accelerating innovation in powertrain technologies tailored for Indian terrain and usage patterns.
