Tsuyo to Represent India at Japan 2026 Startup Delegation

Tsuyo Manufacturing Private Limited, an emerging player in India’s electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, has been selected to represent the country as part of the CII CIES Startup Delegation to Japan 2026. The company features among 15 Indian startups chosen under the ‘deeptech’ category, highlighting its growing relevance in advanced mobility technologies.

This development reflects broader momentum in India’s EV and deeptech sectors, as startups continue to gain recognition on global platforms. Tsuyo’s participation is expected to facilitate knowledge exchange with Japanese corporations at a time when Japan is accelerating its EV ambitions.

Focus on Cross-Border Collaboration

The delegation aims to create opportunities for collaboration between Indian startups and Japanese industry players. For Tsuyo, this engagement could pave the way for joint development initiatives, particularly in next-generation EV technologies.

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.”

The company sees Japan as a strategic partner, given its long-standing reputation for engineering excellence and manufacturing discipline. By combining India’s cost-efficient innovation capabilities with Japan’s technical expertise, such partnerships could unlock scalable solutions for global markets. In addition to business collaborations, Tsuyo will also participate in SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026, a major platform for global startups and investors.

Strategic Growth Opportunities

Participation in the delegation is expected to open several avenues for Tsuyo. These include access to international investors, partnerships with global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, and potential entry into new markets across Asia and beyond.

Such exposure is particularly significant for Indian EV startups looking to scale operations and strengthen their global footprint. It also aligns with India’s ambition to position itself as a hub for advanced automotive and clean mobility technologies.

Expansion Plans in Karnataka

Alongside its international engagements, Tsuyo is also advancing its domestic expansion strategy. The company recently secured Single Window Clearance approval from the Government of Karnataka for a proposed 20-acre EV powertrain manufacturing and validation campus in the Dharwad–Hubli region.

This upcoming facility will serve as a comprehensive hub for design, testing and large-scale production of EV powertrain components. The move is expected to strengthen local manufacturing capabilities while reducing dependence 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.
