What happened
Gaurav Gupta was appointed President of the India 2W business unit at TVS Motor Company on September 17, 2026. Concurrently, TVS Motor Company confirmed it is ramping up its monthly electric vehicle production capacity from 40,000–45,000 units to over 50,000 units in the next three months, with further increases expected by the fourth quarter. Market trends also indicate that the Indian two-wheeler market is shifting toward premium and super-premium models, which account for 27% of the business when viewed as motorcycles.
Why it matters
The company noted that this premiumization trend is driven by consumer preference for feature-rich and higher-end variants, supported by easier access to finance for first-time buyers. For premium motorcycles (150 cc and higher), the company stated that demand has been growing at over 22% in the market.
