TVS Motor Company has reported a growth of 37 percent in total sales registering a sale of 2,90,673 units in the month of February. Compare the figure to the same month last year and it stood at 2,11,470 units, TVS Motor Company said in a statement. What is more intriguing is that the total growth in its motorcycle segment is a whopping 92 percent. Motorcycle sales were at 1,13,296 units as compared to 58,994 units in February 2017. Scooter sales rose 35.6 percent to 93,573 units in February as against 69,020 units in the same month last year, the company said.
Total two-wheeler sales were at 2,80,942 units last month as against 2,06,247 units in February 2017, a growth of 36.2 percent. During the month, domestic two-wheeler sales increased 33.5 percent to 2,30,353 units as against 1,72,611 units in the year-ago month, it added.
Three-wheeler sales grew by 86.3 percent to 9,731 units as against 5,223 units in February last year. TVS Motor said its total exports grew 53.2 percent in February at 58,564 units as compared with 38,215 units in the same month last year.
TVS Ntorq 125 first ride review: Convenience with a sporty character
TVS launched its most powerful motorcycle yet, the Apache 310 RR in December last year. Powered by a 312.2cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine jointly developed by BMW Motorrad and TVS, the Apache 310 RR has grown to a fair level of popularity in India. However, with a price tag of Rs. 2.05 lakh (ex-showroom), the Apache 310 RR will perhaps not add as many numbers to the sales figures as the recently launched TVS Ntorq125.
TVS Ntorq125 was launched last month and is the home-grown brand’s first ever 125cc scooter in India. It is, in fact, also one of the most feature-loaded scooters in the country. The Ntorq 125 is the first scooter in India to feature navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. Priced at Rs 58,750 (ex-showroom, Delhi), it is quite a value-for-money package when compared to the likes of Suzuki Access 125 and Honda Grazia. While the Ntorq 125’s popularity will not reflect in this month’s sale figures, we expect the scooter to catch on in the coming months, owing to its several segment first features.
