TVS Motor Company has been named the official supplier of race-tuned motorcycles for the 2025 Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship (INMRC). The company will provide its advanced TVS Apache GP200R machines for the newly introduced Pro Stock 200 class, becoming the first Indian two-wheeler manufacturer to undertake such a role.
This initiative marks a significant milestone in the democratization of motorsports in India, allowing independent teams to access high-performance race machines and compete at a national level. The INMRC 2025, set to begin on June 6 at the Madras International Circuit (MIC), Chennai, features the debut of the Pro Stock 200 class.
Seven teams and twelve racers have been selected following a rigorous evaluation, and TVS Racing will provide comprehensive technical support throughout the season. With over four decades of racing experience and a celebrated two-decade legacy of the TVS Apache series, the company aims to elevate the standard of competition and expand accessibility within the sport.
