Business operations

TVS Motor Company came into existence as a subsidiary of the TVS Group. It began its journey by acquiring the moped division of Sundaram Clayton Limited (SCL), which was founded in collaboration between TVS Group and Clayton Dewandre Holdings, United Kingdom. SCL was involved in the manufacturing of brakes, exhausts, compressors, and aluminium and magnesium castings for the automotive industry. It was the flagship brand of the TVS Group before being overtaken by TVS Motor Company.

In 1980, the company introduced TVS 50, a two-seater 50 cc moped. The two-wheeler was designed in-house and was made with indigenous components sourced from various TVS Group companies. TVS 50 became an instant hit thanks to its lightweight and fuel efficiency.

IN 1982, TVS Motor Company teamed up with Suzuki Motor Co Ltd of Japan by signing a technical know-how and assistance agreement. As part of the deal, Suzuki agreed to furnish complete technical information and know-how, and other data.

A year later, the company acquired the assets of the moped division from Sundaram Clayton Ltd. The name of the company was changed from Indo Suzuki Motorcycles Ltd to TVS Suzuki Ltd.

After extending the technical aid agreement with Suzuki in 1991, the company introduced two new models of motorcycles in 1992 – Samurai and Shogun.

A year later TVS Scooty made its way to the market and years to come became an integral part of the TVS brand. In September 2000, TVS and Suzuki announced the end of their joint venture.

In 2006, TVS launched its flagship Apache bikes in India. During the 2010s, the company expanded its global footprint by exporting its two-wheelers to various countries.
