TVS Motor Company, a leading two-wheeler manufacturer in India, is projecting a sluggish growth rate for the fiscal year 2027, primarily due to escalating shipping costs and commodity prices resulting from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. CEO K N Radhakrishnan indicated that the company anticipates single-digit growth, a stark contrast to the 24% growth in sales volumes achieved in FY2026. To mitigate rising input costs, TVS plans to implement another price hike on its motorcycles and scooters, building on previous increases earlier this year. Despite these challenges, the company reported a 27% year-on-year increase in two-wheeler sales in the last quarter of FY26, driven by robust domestic demand and a 23% surge in exports. The recent reduction in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate for two-wheelers with engine capacities up to 350 cc has further bolstered sales, and TVS aims to maintain this momentum in the coming quarters through a focus on premium products, export expansion, and cost controls.
