TVS Premium Segment Outpacing Industry Growth
TVS holds 34% market share in India's 150cc–250cc premium segment and has grown that business 29% over two years versus 12% industry-wide growth, according to leadership statements. Gaurav Gupta, TVS's President for India's two-wheeler business, noted that consumers are shifting toward feature-packed higher-end variants. The festive season refresh capitalizes on buyers trading up to models with more technology and safety gear rather than remaining in budget tiers.
