TVS Motor’s 30% YoY Sales Surge and EV Momentum: A Catalyst for India’s Electric Mobility and Global Expansion

In August 2025, TVS Motor Company achieved a historic milestone, reporting a 30% year-on-year (YoY) surge in total sales, with 509,536 units sold—a figure that underscores the company’s dominance in India’s two-wheeler and three-wheeler markets [1]. This growth, driven by robust performances across all segments, including a 36% rise in scooter sales and a 47% jump in three-wheeler sales, positions TVS as a key player in India’s evolving mobility landscape. However, the company’s electric vehicle (EV) segment, while modest in August’s 1.4% YoY growth [3], reveals a broader narrative of strategic acceleration in electric mobility and scalable export potential.

Electric Mobility: Navigating Challenges, Seizing Opportunities

TVS’s EV journey in FY 2024-25 highlights both resilience and ambition. Despite supply chain bottlenecks—particularly magnet shortages that threaten production timelines—the company’s EV sales surged by 44% YoY to 2.79 lakh units in the fiscal year [4]. This growth was further amplified in March 2025, when EV sales jumped 77% YoY to 26,935 units [5], driven by strong demand for models like the TVS iQube. These figures suggest that TVS is not only weathering short-term challenges but also capitalizing on India’s rapidly expanding EV ecosystem.

The company’s long-term strategy includes securing Production Linked Incentive (PLI) benefits for its three-wheeler EV segment and investing in its e-bike subsidiary [5]. Such moves align with India’s national EV push, where public charging infrastructure has surpassed 6,000 stations [2], and consumer demand for sustainable mobility is rising.

Export Potential: A Global Footprint with Scalable Ambitions

TVS’s export performance further strengthens its investment case. In August 2025, total exports grew by 35% YoY to 135,367 units, with two-wheeler exports rising 29% to 96,927 units [3]. For FY 2024-25, exports increased by 23%, reflecting a strategic pivot toward international markets [4]. While African and Middle Eastern markets remain underperforming, recovery in Sri Lanka and Latin America, coupled with expansion into Europe, signals a diversified and scalable export strategy.

The company’s 24% export contribution to total turnover in FY 2023-24 [1] underscores its global ambitions. By targeting European markets—a region with stringent emissions standards and growing EV adoption—TVS is positioning itself to leverage its technological expertise and cost-competitive manufacturing.

Strategic Risks and Opportunities

TVS’s EV segment faces near-term headwinds, including magnet supply constraints [1], which could delay production and dampen growth. However, the company’s focus on R&D and partnerships to secure critical components mitigates these risks. For investors, the key question is whether TVS can maintain its 44% YoY EV growth rate in FY 2025-26 while scaling exports.

Conclusion: A Compelling Investment Thesis

TVS Motor’s 30% YoY sales surge in August 2025 is not an isolated event but a reflection of its strategic alignment with India’s electric mobility revolution and global export potential. With EV sales accelerating in key fiscal periods and exports rebounding in critical markets, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on both domestic and international demand. For investors, the combination of operational resilience, technological innovation, and scalable global expansion makes TVS a standout in the two-wheeler EV sector.
