XL Super moped continues to be the best selling two wheeler from TVS Motor
TVS Motor Company has been having a fruitful return at the Indian market in recent past. As mentioned in our previous report, the Hosur-based two-wheeler manufacturer has witnessed a 19 percent YoY growth in the domestic market whereas it registered almost 49 percent YoY growth in exports.
This can be accounted for the strong performance of almost all TVS models for the month of October 2020. Almost all two-wheelers resulted in positive growth during the said period. Despite the ongoing crisis, TVS Motor managed to strengthen its supply chain from September 2020.
