Tsuyo, a leading EV powertrain manufacturer, is all set to exchange insights with Japanese corporations amid Japan’s EV expansion push, having marked a place in the elite list of 15 Indian startups to represent India in the ‘deeptech’ category as part of the CII CIES Startup Delegation to Japan 2026.
This milestone comes as a strong validation of Tsuyo’s innovation and technology-led approach in the mobility sector and also highlights India’s growing prominence as a global hub for deeptech and advanced automotive technologies.
This engagement is expected to open pathways for long-term collaborations that bridge India’s cost innovation strengths with Japan’s engineering expertise.
Commenting on the opportunity, Vijay Kumar, Founder and CEO, Tsuyo Manufacturing Private Limited, said, “Being selected for the CII CIES delegation is a proud moment – not just for Tsuyo, but for the evolution of India’s deeptech ecosystem. At Tsuyo, we see ourselves as a new age EV deep tech startup focused on co-creation, where innovation is built collaboratively across borders. India has the potential to engineer and scale world-class EV powertrain technologies, designed for real-world conditions and global applicability.
Japan represents a strong strategic partner with its legacy of engineering excellence and disciplined manufacturing culture. Through this engagement, we aim to explore joint development opportunities, enable deeper supply chain integration, and contribute to the broader ‘Build India’ vision by strengthening local capabilities with global collaboration.
Our approach to co-creation goes beyond technology – it extends to building robust supply chains, advancing futuristic mobility solutions, and aligning with the high standards of Japanese engineering. This is how we believe India will transition from being a growing EV market to a globally competitive EV technology hub.”
Tsuyo’s participation in the CII CIES delegation will present promising prospects, such as co-development opportunities in next-generation EV technologies, access to international investors and capital networks, strategic partnerships with global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, and entry into new markets throughout Asia and beyond. Tsuyo’s position as a major contributor to India’s goal of becoming a global leader in EV manufacturing and technology is further strengthened by this accomplishment.
As part of its ongoing expansion and scale-up journey, Tsuyo recently received Single Window Clearance approval from the Government of Karnataka for its proposed 20-acre EV Powertrain Manufacturing and Validation Campus in the Dharwad–Hubli region.
This upcoming facility will serve as a critical hub for design, development, testing, and large-scale manufacturing of EV powertrain components, reinforcing Tsuyo’s commitment to strengthening India’s domestic EV ecosystem and reducing reliance on imports. The expansion aligns with Tsuyo’s broader vision of building globally competitive, locally manufactured EV technologies while contributing to India’s clean mobility transition.
