Tsuyo Manufacturing Private Limited, an EV powertrain manufacturer based in Greater Noida, has been selected as one of 15 Indian startups in the 'deeptech' category to join the CII CIES Startup Delegation to Japan 2026, the company announced on Monday. The delegation, which will also include a visit to SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026, is aimed at facilitating exchanges between Indian startups and Japanese corporations as Japan expands its own EV sector.

The selection positions Tsuyo to explore co-development in next-generation EV technologies, access international investors, pursue partnerships with global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, and enter markets across Asia.

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."

The Japan delegation follows recent domestic developments for the company. Tsuyo has received 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. The facility is intended for design, development, testing, and large-scale manufacturing of EV powertrain components.

Tsuyo's product portfolio covers electric motors, controllers, and integrated powertrain systems ranging from 0.5 kW to 400 kW, serving three-wheelers, light commercial vehicles, and medium and heavy commercial vehicles. The company operates two manufacturing facilities in Greater Noida, has sold over 200,000 motors, and works with more than 50 OEMs.
